6th until 11th of Jan 2026 Sun 11 Jan 2026, 3:08:15 pm CET We are almost in the middle of January already. I have hardly registered that it is 2026 and here we are already in the 2nd week of the year. Again, loads of things have happened since my last post. Again, like always, there is not enough time it seems. What's new, right? Today is my mom's birthday. We - H and me - had a call with her. We had planned to sing for her, but due to circomstances we were interrupted and the moment never came back again. But atleast the thought was there. Happy birthday mom! Talking about "my roots", I have booked my next trip back for a little brief visit again in the end of this month. Right, it is comming closer quickly as well. This time I am planning to squeeze in meeting up with old friends. I hope it will work out. There should still be snow and I hope for a real winter while I am there. Not too much though, but a little bit of snow and nice weather would be nice. We had some proper winterdays here with snow and cold weather. It was nice while it lasted. Now the Christmas decorations are almost all down and packed away for another year. We still have the Christmas tree up. At least one of them and some of the lighting. It give a cozy feeling in the dark winter evenings. I maybe mentioned that our dryer broke down just before Christmas. Well, we have now bought a new one. A fancy one with all the bells and whistles. It is a heatpump dryer so it is energy efficient as well. It is nice to have a working dryer again. Any gadget nerd also likes to follow along the progress on an app... Talking of technology; I have also bought a new MacBook M4 version. It is super fast and nice to work with. I have only had it for a few days (still in setup and migration mode), but so far I am extremely pleased with it. It is really like night and day compared to my old one. OK, I will stop here for now. I hope to write again soon with more updates. Take care out there! Did you know that..? I try to find an interesting historical event that occurred on this day.
