I hope y'all have a calm and peaceful #Sunday! Sharing a few pics from my nature walk earlier today. Loved seeing that old English oak and the swamp cypresses. 🌳 🍃

Judging by the weather, it's already #spring over here! Which means it's time to get ready for another #gardening season! 🌾🌿🌵

One thing that can help you and keep you inspired are gardening #podcasts, and in my latest listening tips, I have a nice selection of those.

This week I'm taking you to the #opera!

In the latest blog post I'm sharing on how you can use opera as a language learning tool. As an example, I've chosen one of my favourite ones, Henry Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas'.

In the blog post you also find the libretto so you can follow this opera more easily. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!

Miško declared that Friday afternoon local time is already #caturday somewhere in the world.

Not sure if that's true at all, but as I'm hopelessly bad with time zones and I can't count, here are the latest #cat pics 😽

I can't think of many TV series that have left such a lasting impression on me as Twin Peaks. (Maybe because I've re-watched it dozens of times, with morbid fascination 👀)

In the latest instalment of my listening tips, I'm sharing a number of podcasts series dedicated to the weird and magical world of Twin Peaks - if you're a fan, they are a must!

Cybermonk floor setup in dark mode

100% remote WFH. I also record videos, audio, drink tea and meditate here. 100% Darkmode 😎

I mainly sit on the floor, and occasionally stand, thanks to a Limber desk which easily lowers from standing to floor height. It was not easy at first but has worked wonders on my back and hips over time, vs a chair.

Links to some of the gear and software I use, on my site.
