Hello all and welcome after my one month of my absence. What was I doing? Thank you for asking! I have been on holiday.

Already returned from holiday and grey prose of life mode has been switch on. I commenced a new job on Monday, 2nd of September, which is an exciting thing and, simultaneously, a very demanding period for me right now.
