Le Tour de France (et Suisse)

Back down the Mountain I was now leaving the Alps behind me, and beginning my long journey to Toulouse. As I travelled back down the mountain, I could see the sun rising over the Eastern ridge, it was Sunday morning and I had about 24 hours to make it to my final destination; still plenty of time to visit a few more spots and take many a detour! First I passed by a few more Alpine towns, the…

The Physics of Wakeboarding

Hello, and welcome to first in a new series I am calling: Sunday school. In this weeks lesson I’m going to be teaching you about some real life physics I encountered on one of my many adventures. So here’s the story. The other day I went wakeboarding on a lake just north if the French city of Toulouse. It was an incredible experience, something I’ve never done before but will definitely be doing…

Simona and the Night Train to Switzerland

“Andiamo!” I cried as the light turned green, and I felt the car lurch forward. We sped through the streets of Rome, narrowly avoiding collision after collision, weaving in and out of tight spots in our perfectly miniature car. It was half past 10. I had to be at Termini station by 11 or risk missing my train, the night train out of Rome and up through to the North of the country, then to…

Before the Coffee gets Cold

– Read: 5th of June to 12th June – Cassie’s Rating: 9/10 – Often, you can read a book and want to be transported into that world. To be fighting the orcs of Middle Earth, or meeting vampires in Washington, books have the ability to transport us to other worlds and let us live in a story for a while. To me, ‘Before the Coffee gets Cold’ by Toshikazu Kawaguchi is a story about that feeling, with…

Arnav's Ricotta Bhurji

Today we’ll be cooking a classic Indian recipe from a new friend of mine. Whilst we cooked today we decided to set the mood for the meal with some of my “Cook for the day”‘s favourite Indian music. I always hate when recipes go on massive tangents before the actual recipe, so here it is first! Story later 🙂 Ingredients (Makes two servings): Vegetables: 5 Garlic Cloves 100g of Bell Peppers A…

A Hundred Lines or Less #1 - Pong

One of the new things I want to introduce to my blog is something I used to do years ago on another site: Coding Challenges, now with a new twist! In these posts, I’ll be undergoing a challenge to code something in a hundred lines or less whilst also walking you through my process of doing so and of course releasing the code to you at the end. My aim for these challenges is to show how…

The Little Shop of Witchcraft

If you’ve ever found yourself in the Cenisia district of Turin, you might have walked past a little shop. Completely unassuming from the outside, even a glance in the window would write the place off as a regular bookshop. Look a little closer though, or better yet walk through the door and take a look around, and you’ll see that appearances can often be decieving. This shop is called ‘Libreria…

A little redecoration

If you frequent this blog, you might immediately be able to notice something different. I have decided to redecorate a bit, and with that redecoration will come some changes. I really like writing this blog, it’s my solace from the stress of the everyday, so I want to try to write more of it, show more of my persona through the things I write and really make this website into something to be…
