Health wise I pretty sure docV is doing great. 5-6 k of running every 2 days, regular walks with Oskar and training arm and abdominal muscles every other 2 days. Kcal wise I could consider to pay more attention. ‘A drizzle of olive oil’, some nuts, and, sadly enough, some cheesy snack in between, there … More I consider to pay more attention

I’m back home after a few lovely days in Belgium. While staying at my youngest brother’s home I went to Antwerp to see my daughters, saw my mother on 3 different moments, ate some North Sea shrimps, Thai food and enjoyed a superb Sunday evening dinner at Trattoria Bazalia. You can imagine that a obligatory … More Quarantine after my visit to Belgium
