New Things in words and metal

John started working today. He has had ten days of vacation and we have been very busy. If you have missed our activities you can scroll down and read up on the latest posts. I try to write about everything that happens in our life. I am also currently trying to figure out what this blog is about. Is it a daily lifestyle kind of blog? Should it be more focused on the life of an expat? John and I had this discussion yesterday. I said I could probably do more expat-related posts. He countered with asking if that was really me. Who did I want to be on the blog? So he suggested I focused more on my writing. Not sure what I should write about that. What do you think? Do you as a reader want to know more about how I work?

Another thing we did yesterday was order John's new phone. He has had his LG G3 for almost three years now and it was slowly dying as the days went on. The latest is that he dropped the phone to the floor today and afterwards it started doing a groaning sound like a boat at sea. Then less than one minute before he got home it knocked on the door and a man handed me a package. Then John opened the door a few seconds later and there it was - his new phone. A OnePlus 3T, ordered only yesterday with express delivery. Talk about speed!

Today I spent most of the day writing. I wrote over four pages today which is the most I can write in a day (with a break of an hour or so to eat). I have no idea if any of the things I wrote are actually good and worth keeping. John is too tired to hear me read it tonight so I will work more on it tomorrow and hopefully get some feedback. I have not been writing in a while - we had a visitor, then it was Christmas and then new years eve. Finally I can get both space and time to write all day long.

Apart from that hour when I almost got an headache and had to get some air, I took an hour out on the balcony reading a chapter in the book I am currently reading. I won it in a giveaway so I did not buy it, although just looking at it it might have been a book I would have bought. I am so annoyed by this book and the author. It feels like she read Twilight and Fifty Shades and thought she could be a bestselling author by combining the two and place the story in Venice! I have so much to say about it I can not tell you anything right now. I might just write a whole post about it later. I can not put the book down before I have finished it. That will make my opinion incomplete. I just can not do that. I need to see this to the end.

Let me just say that I am counting every time the male character's blue eyes are mentioned and how often they change hue. It is ridiculous...
