The Queen died earlier this month, which triggered memories of loved ones who died. This is why I’ve decided to stop posting until the funeral, on my blogs and on social media (with the exception of twitter which is entirely dedicated to fighting disinformation in the Russian invasion of Ukraine). My husband and I went […]
Gorbachev died and today all the news are saying how great he was, obviously ignoring that he kept the Russians in Afghanistan until 1988, besides crackdown in Kazakhstan (1986), massacre in Georgia (1989), “Black January” in Azerbaijan (1990), and crackdown in Lithuania (1991). Between tens and hundreds of people died in these crackdowns. Also, Chernobyl, […]
In early July we were still in Italy, for our long holiday. I stared blogging about our travels and finished recounting about Verona, which was my favourite city. We’ve been to: Flora and Zazie (vegan and vegetarian restaurants), Castelvecchio museum (art gallery in a 14-th century castle), The Roman Theatre (includes a medieval monastery), Casa […]
This month was very busy. We’ve been to Darlington, back home, got up at 5 to go to London for the Pageant, went to Oxford for a few days, with study/work. On the 21st we flew to Italy. As we are now in Italy, I will make a round-up with what we did there next […]
Eurovision. It’s not something I thought I will talk about, but I watch it because I was curious to see what Ukraine will do with that gorgeous Stefania, what a beautiful song. I voted for it and I’m glad they won. What I will talk about is Moldova’s entry, Trenuleţul, which I voted for too. […]
I will start this month with a short-ish rant about the war. As there are problems in Moldova (I’m Romanian, we have the same language, traditions, and for a while the same national anthem too), I am closely monitoring what is happening in Ukraine. I finished Winter Is Coming by Garry Kasparov and reviewed it […]
Of course I will start the round-up by talking about the most important thing, the war in Ukraine. I attended a few protests and I attended a talk at the university about Russia’s invasion. Also, my university, King’s College London, is aiming to bring hundreds of Ukrainian refugees to Britain by Easter, which makes me […]
It looks like the “full tonto” communist, his cronies, and the brainwashed Russians didn’t understand the profound hatred people from the Eastern bloc have for Russian communists. The tonto also didn’t realise that in neither of those countries were all the people brainwashed and as much as he tries, neither are many of his Russians. […]
It seems like time flies, but with a very busy month, it’s not surprising. We enjoyed many new items that were new for Veganuary, but mostly we tried places we haven’t been to before, so new to us. I’m in the Veggie Society at university, so I’ve been to 2 social events. There is another […]
It’s time for a round-up and look back of my 2021 goals before setting (very similar ones) for 2022. Overall I’m pleased with what I did, even if I didn’t complete all of them. Goals for 2021: Blogs 1. Post regularly. My goal is to post all book reviews on Coffee&Books, which I did, but […]
This blog is my personal diary, I will only write about brands and products I’ve used personally and are inline with my personal beliefs (e.g. no real fur). I am happy to receive PR samples or services, I also receive gifts at blogging events and sometimes I will blog about them.
I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
