Too good not to share: play D&D!

First of all, happy new year all! May it be one as unforgettable as last one but in a more positive sense.

OK I’m not really into e-sports but I like #e-regatta #sailing via #VirtualRegata Offshore. I just finished my first race, the Virtual Sidney-Hobart race in 470th position, and the first Luxembourg participant to finish. (We have some real strong Luxembourg based e-sailors)

One spoon of Dijon mustard, one egg and sunflower oil, whisk mustard and egg together and slowly incorporate the oil until your arm falls off. Some salt and lemon to taste and le voilá a fresh jar of mayonnaise in the fridge. It just doesn’t compare to the shop bought stuff.

After all work done for my clients, I finally had time to consecrate on my part time studies. Did a brainstorm session this afternoon and I just finished an inspiring Zoom session with co-students. It is good to have a sense of going forward with my project. #SystemsThinking #OUSTiP #T847 #SystemsPraxis

Today the final chapter of my #MSc in #SystemsThinking has started. I have to prepare for my professional project and thesis.

It says something about the state of American politics when a ruddy fly takes centre stage.

Last night someone I hold dear lost his best friend and partner, who was also a friend so I mourn the loss of a friend and the loss of a friend today.
When it comes to feelings you can scour a dictionary but you are always going to be lost for words.
