…a beautiful small loft a day…

This building combines two essential esthetiques for me. A loft and a small lot. I like the simple elegance of it. The interior is not quite my taste, but the layout is again simple but elegant.

Definitely in the collection for house options 3-5 years from now.

So this is good news on Blue Monday. It can be done. Trying to move reduction in carbon footprint for an entire, even though small, country. All it takes is political willpower, I imagine.

Really also an alternative for a small country like ourselves, I expect. Must look into if this has even been contemplated in NL and why it has not yet been materialized.

Is now taking literally with this Outdoor Care Retreat in Norway. What a beautiful way to add something to the way you can take care of your patients…

Preparing the new 2019 #bulletjournal

One of the finest moments of the year. Breaking in a new #bulletjournal.

As you can see I am using the Stalogy A5 notebook. Imported from Japan this booklet has served me well over 2018. Some of the pages, starting with the archive of these past years.

My method goes back to March 2014. As you can see I have been using quite some different types of notebooks until I found this one.

With a little higher price it still is economical when only one is needed during the whole year.

More pictures of the new setup will follow shortly.
