The One With All The Hama Beads
I think my wife has started this Hama-Beads-craze around here by un-digging the Hama-Beads which lay dormant for years on shelf in the kids room. In the beginning it were only a few random patterns an...

Coffee Withdrawal
As you rightly guessed by the title of this blog (note: then 'toomuchlatte'), I really like coffee. Like a lot. I used to drink all day long. Day in, day out. The first one in the morning always was t...
The Books I Read in 2015
I remember how I realized at the end of last year how few books I have managed to read during that year. In fact I was even a little bit shocked about it. So something had to be done and I challenged...
