The morning was cold. As usually, I prepared some tea in a white thermo-cup, that I could drink while walking to the office. I expected my day to be similar to any other working day. I put my princess-like skirts with big, dark blue and light blue flowers, put on light blue T-shirt, black stockings READ MORE

Book: ‘Katyn’ by Allen Paul
American author Allen Paul is former Associated Press reporter and political speech writer. Wikipedia says that his book ‘Katyn’ tells the story of three Polish families that were affected by the Katyn Massacre.

Cross-triathlon

Book: ‘All the light we cannot see’ by Anthony Doerr
Finally! Finally I have finished an amazing book, a novel written by Anthony Doerr, “All the light we cannot see”.
