this is what I read at the moment.
I love Matt Haig's fascinating idea: to be able to test different lives that would have been the result of not choosing the one option you actually took.
Consequences of choices that one made - or didn't take.
Makes me think a lot ... what would have been if...
On the other hand - to stay content and sane - my motto is:
"Yesterday is over and the door to tomorrow is still closed. Today is all you (really) have."
Dear You,
saved by the bell!
To become a little bit more "green", one thing I decided was to bid adieu to my Nespresso capsules (aluminium) and use an old fashion manual Italian coffee pot instead.
From Berlin I took one with me. It had an added electric plate beneath, no need to use the stove. It worked fine.
In Bavaria I thought: might be quicker without that plate, put on the stove.
It wasn't. Instead lots of fume in my kitchen! Big clouds of grey fume! and a fire!
I hadn't seen that underneath this special espresso cooker was a rubber plate. Well: rubber on a hot stove = fume.
The flames were a hand's breadth high - and a hand's breadth wide. I thought: this might be the first time that I have to use my little fire extinguisher, Uii, uiii, uii.
But luckily I could extinguish it without that. I've been very, very lucky.
And then I was very, very busy - to clean all those stinking sticky particles from the stove.
