Hello on Friday the 13th. This is the 100th post on the drifting satellite. When I started my blog, I was direction-less and didn't even think that I would write 10 posts. Seven years later, I am multi-directional and this milestone is a big deal for me! Thanks a lot for reading what I write… Continue reading Content – Bloganuary 2023

I’m happy and I know it – Bloganuary 2023

From my misc-pics-box here is a photo of some pretty flowers I received from friends on my Birthday in 2022. In absence of a vase at my place, I decided to put them in the huge 1L beer mug, our typical German souvenir, that we bought on our first visit to Munich and to Germany,… Continue reading I’m happy and I know it – Bloganuary 2023

10 things I hate about you…

Today's Bloganuary prompt is too heavy, don't you think? https://bloganuary.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/fb-daily-prompt-jan-26.png Favourite part, huh!

Hello World…..

Hello World... This is what I type in the browser every time I want to quickly check if my internet is working or not. I don't remember when I started doing this and didn't realise when it became a habit. Maybe it started when I was learning to code, where Hello World holds special significance.… Continue reading Hello World…..
