Fighting for a medical appointment
Dear future historian,
I am, as I’m writing this, number 18th in the medical
centre's phone queue. I'm waiting 45 min already. I was number 30 in the queue
when this call started.
Let me introduce you to the story:

The Power of Keep-walking
Dear Future Historian,
I met a miracle engineer.
He popped up at the park, I was sitting with my friends in. We had a portable speaker playing Jazz. It was my first day out after a long time and after I asked from the universe that day for it to be therapeutic. I felt kinda drained lately.

New book! Dear Future Historian: Autumn 2021
Do you wish you could touch it? Hold it like a teddy bear? Put it under your pillow? Offer it as a precious gift to your loved ones?
Do you get tired of reading from a screen, and wished you could have it on paper?

How to engineer a miracle
Let me tell you
the story of how a mouse can make you homeless.
Back in 2015 I was living in Thanet with my 14-month-old baby and my 6-year-old daughter. I was also hosting my mother and my sister with her son. So, my kids and I were sleeping in the living room on a mattress on the floor. One night, while I was breastfeeding, I heard a squeaky noise and I saw it staring at me. I jumped up, with the baby still hanging from my breasts, and started googling ‘how to get rid of a mouse.’ Apparently, the options are quite limited and ineffective, with a crawling baby who puts everything in his mouth.

Just thought to say hi, before I sleep
Dear future historian,
I really missed you.
But I had to overcome a bit of a burn out, a bit of break up, a bit of paperwork, a bit of rearranging the house, regaining a room.. (remember that I had 'ask' for one?* Well.. I have one now! - still same house.) Long story short: I missed you.

It's my name day today. Facebook reminded me, I had totally forgotten.

'Salvation'
So.. once upon a time (let's say at the end of the 80s) there was a girl with a long bucket list. Going to see the Olympic games was part of that list. She wasn’t really interested in sports
It was the history of the games that she admired. The ancient custom of stopping battles, even during war, that she admired. Well.. she knew that was not happening anymore, but still, she always wanted to be part of history. The Olympic games had (in her mind) some of the magic of the ancient philosophers or something.
