I’m doing alright. I just don’t know what to write recently, and sometimes I’m not even sure why I started it at all. February was very busy. I made a few trips around Greece: at the beginning of the month, we went to Athens and later to Kastoria. Winter is finally over, and I hope for more warm days to come. This year we had a lot of cold days, a lot of rain… Between visiting Athens and Kastoria, I also participated in a hike on Olympus. The track was on a lighter side, but I still enjoyed it. I’m planning a small redesign for the website in March. The current architecture is a little bit bulky and doesn’t allow easy management of entries. I have some ideas in mind about how to make it more accessible, because maybe this is what’s blocking me.

Today we had a lot of snow. In a few European countries there even was a transport collapse, and Hungary, sadly, was not an exception. We spent two extra hours in the airport and then yet another two hours on a plane. I’ve never experienced flight delays before and was quite stressed out. I spent all the waiting time reading a book. Eventually, we took off, and later landed without trouble, but uneasiness didn’t go away.

I went to Hungary for the holidays and left my laptop at home. I have been reading a lot during the last week and finally finished Of Time and the River by Thomas Wolfe, one of my favorite authors. Last year I bought The Complete Works of him, which is around 6000 pages, and have been reading it in and out since then. I tend to read when I have nothing to do, and if I start, it becomes hard to stop: I can read a few hundred pages a day, and then spend weeks not reading. For 2026, I want to become more consistent: maybe reduce numbers, but increase frequency. I also did a couple of drawings.

It’s quite cold in Hungary now, and I’m not used to such temperatures anymore. I even saw snow today! Probably, the first proper snow in the last four years. It feels nice to spend time on offline activities.

When I leave in a few days, I would like to keep that feeling for the entire year.
