I will simply write down a couple of things that I can say I’ve discovered in these last few days:

  1. the fresh morning air of the mountains really helps even in the worse hangovers
  2. I shouldn’t seek to understand the small things that makes a person happy, I’m really trying to learn not to criticize every little thing
  3. it was written in a book I’m reading: “L’homme c’est rien – l’oeuvre c’est tout” – and now it’s trapped in a corner of my mind
  4. it is really the best thing to get mail from someone special and simply forget about everything else while you are reading it
  5. I’m trying to learn some basic Portuguese, “Obrigado” was my first word and now I’m stuck in the bad words chapter – Merda!
  6. some charm of the mountain side was lost when mobile phones started ringing
  7. I just booked a meeting for the 11th of September at 3 o’clock – it’s my first long term thinking, I hope I won’t forget about it
  8. take 50 minutes off from your busy schedule and try one episode of the Planet Earth Series from BBC in HD, I guarantee you won’t regret it
  9. and finally, I’m surprised that lately I’m finding basil everywhere, in a flower pot on a rooftop terrace in Vienna, yesterday in my Mediterranean pasta and today a dry one in an old book. Is it really basil good for everything and everywhere?
