Blue Monday update

This week was a bit less productive than last week, but it I still managed to get some things done.

-         French: I’ve finished the first 3 Duolingo lessons. You can follow me here.  I’ve read a comic for children in French and I understood it. (Yes, victory. 😄) I’ve started reading Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A bit harder, but I’ve understood everything so far. I’ve also been learning how to e-mail or make a call in French. Do you want to know how to learn French for free, check it here.

-          Excel 365: I’ve been following an online course for this one. I already had a knowledge base on how to change the layout/formatting in Excel in order to makes lists/schedules. But now I’ve learned some basic formulas to calculate. Want to know how to learn the program for free? Check it here.

-        I’ve started the challenge to read a book every month for a year. My first book was The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak. It was the fact that it happens in the 80’s, that convinced me to read it. But it was just a small part of it and it was probably a bit too much information for me sometimes. I gave it 2 stars on Goodreads.(It was ok-ish) I’ve started To kill a Mocking Bird, so far good. 😊

-         I answered the ’50 Questions that will free your mind.’ They were created by these amazing bloggers here. I wrote the answers here on my Day Zero Project account here, as I didn’t think I could just post their content here on my blog. I wouldn’t say my mind is free not, but these questions definitely make you think.

-         I also made a quick visit to the Zoo of Antwerp. Which means I can check this of my bucket list for the national animal parks I want to visit. You can read all about it here.

 

With all of this, I was able to accomplish all of my goals for this month and some small extras. You can follow my next goals here.

Visiting ‘s-Gravenwezel, Belgium (Schilde part two of three)

Image
Last week I started the trip to Schilde in the Province of Antwerp. You can read all about it here . This week we started the second part of the trip, as the town is divided in two submunicipalities: Schilde and ‘s-Gravenwezel. We visited the other site of the town (‘s-Gravenwezel). There’s one castle there, but it wasn’t accessible, I had a feeling there were people living there as it was all closed off. There was lots of nature, but lots of places were hard to access for people   who are on foot. If you want to visit here by bike, that would probably be more enjoyable and safe. My journey in photos:                                                                                                             ...

Blue monday update

 Another busy week, another blue Monday. This was what I was able to accomplish this week. -           I wrote a book review about Mr. Bliss by Tolkien, you can read all about it here . -           I’ve read some other books too. I’m seeing some progress with Dune. But it’s been a long time since I’ve read these type of big books. So I takes me a bit longer to get through it. But so far so good. -           I’ve created a blogpost about Instagram for blogging newbies you can read all about it here . Since the Covid-19 infections are rising a lot here in Belgium, I didn’t go out this weekend, as it probably isn’t so safe. The government made some restrictions for bars and restaurants for a month, but they were placed in action today, which probably meant lots of people went out to have a drink or party last weekend. So we probably wouldn’t ha...
