Do you think that's an exaggeration? Do you think something especially interesting happened, worth telling the rest of you readers about? No, it's not an exaggeration, and no, I don't think anything particularly interesting happened. Objectively, it was probably just another day of my life. But to me, it was something beautifully special. Here's the story, and I'll let each of you decide for yourselves whether it really was a beautiful day. The day started fairly early with a

Good morning, my dears. Today is another heatwave day here in Colmar. Europe has seen a lot of fires these past months, and it feels like one giant fire stretching from Bordeaux all the way to Spain.

Hi Laura, daddy loves you so much. Today I'm writing you the first message from the capsule that I hope finds you well in the future. Today, like yesterday, was a very difficult day. Right now I'm working a lot. On Mondays I wake up at 6:30 and manage to leave the house by 7:30, only to get back home between 10 and 11 at night. The same thing continues on Tuesday. Today, even though I tried to leave the office on time, I ended up running more than 1 hour over schedule. It was
