I question if the concept of normality is the same today as it was two years ago. We can talk about a new normality perhaps, because we will never go back to the same normality we had prior to Covid. Work: even some though some of us are gradually returning to the office, the vastContinue reading “normality.com”

no more smileys please!
#rantalert (Just in case the heading was not clear enough). Nothing puts me off more in reading emails than the ones that have smileys on the subject. It’s just… No. They are fun and colourful in the body text. Don’t add them to your subject. It strikes me as a terribly desperate call for attention.Continue reading “no more smileys please!”
Portugal: 7 low cost holidays
why Portugal? Why not? It’s a country with a tremendously rich culture. It’s a shame that most people are not aware of its history. It’s a warm country. The people are welcoming. The food is absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The nightlife (as you would expect from a warm country) is inviting and fun. During the Summer, BCContinue reading “Portugal: 7 low cost holidays”
pastel de nata
If you have been to Portugal (and no, Portugal is not part of Spain), you know that the main reference baked good is this infamous custard tart. It’s a real unique treat. The fact that it comes in such a small size tricks us into believing it is not a so sinful one. I guessContinue reading “pastel de nata”

Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?
Got a bit distracted with courses and all-things writing but the lockdown has not taken the best off of me yet. The days have noticeably become bigger. Bigger and sunnier. It’s still a bit chilly but it’s starting to look a lot like Spring. Finally we see the light! We can say we know toContinue reading “Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?”
Three Pin-Worthy Words
I have been doing a lot of reading. Reading, listening and researching. (As you may tell by the intervals between each blog I posted, since I decided to embrace the writing path.) I’ve been trying to understand the ins and outs of the trade. Whilst building my portfolio, on the side, I am constantly changing,Continue reading “Three Pin-Worthy Words”
Fellow Freelancers, I Salute You
Time to Face The Music You decide to go freelance in an era where more and more people are looking to be one. Competition is deemed to be fierce. And the vision of our goal is like a dark endless tunnel. There seems to be no reaching it any time soon. It’s anything but easy.Continue reading “Fellow Freelancers, I Salute You”
When Remote Work Gets You Stuck
It’s all good and well when you are working remotely. Surely by the third lockdown we’ll be used to all this. But now, baby, it’s cold outside. We enjoy staying indoors, managing our own time AND actually getting things done, which I thought was going to be proven difficult. Working desks, comfort, regular breaks, everyoneContinue reading “When Remote Work Gets You Stuck”
7 Remote Work Recommendations
If you’re working from home (like me) then you’ll value anything that makes your life easier. Never before the expression “creature comforts” was so well placed.
