Happy New Year 2025 to all you dear readers!

I wish you all the best for 2025, and hope that it will be a much better year than 2024.

I hope that this new year will be much kinder and more positive than the last, or as far as I’m concerned: than the previous ONES.

An unfortunate absence and a colourful return

As you may have noticed, I had disappeared from this blog since the article on my capsulitis and the forced cessation of my activity for over a year.

If you don’t know what capsulitis is, I refer you to the relevant article.

The reasons for the lack of activity on this blog

What exactly has happened since this article on the temporary cessation of my activity?

Wasn’t I supposed to return to work gradually, in Autumn 2024, thanks to intensive physiotherapy sessions?

New, time-consuming responsibilities

For the last few months, I’ve been the sole carer for my grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and to whom I’m the only relative.

This means that I have to look after the upkeep of her home (repairs, problems with the landline, electricity, plumbing, roof, boiler, etc.), her administrative formalities, her social, health and medical care, the organisation of care workers and carers, the ordering of groceries and their delivery to her home, and so on.

Suffice to say that my days are full and my working time is once again, unfortunately, limited.
Obviously, this blog and the social networks have been the first to take a hit.

And yet I had plans for a bunch of different articles!
