At the beginning of previous year, I finally got a full-time job. I wanted to do this look-back on how my life changed earlier but… I’ve found myself in a slump and couldn’t get myself to it.

Reading in heat and weird dreams
I haven’t been reading much the past few days and for someone used to mild (25°C being the top) summers in my childhood, 35°C feels like a hell. It brings some challenges to my hobbies – and I’ll share some of them.

Bedtime reading
Some habits die hard, I guess. Some return. This will be a post about one of them: how I found reading before sleep appealing now in my late twenties and some retrospective on that matter, including my reading habits and some inspiration.
Hiking and health

I’ll try to have a look back and share how much.
