My Now Page has been inspired by Derek Sivers. If you have a blog or website, you might want to consider keeping one as well. Here’s how and why to create a now page.
Reading
Happily, my love for reading seems to have been rekindled. This is what I put my reading glasses on for these days:

- „Die Frau als Mensch“ by Ulli Lust, a graphic novel about human history, from the female perspective.
- „Die verdrängte Pandemie“, a collection of perspectives from the left on the ongoing revisionism concerning SARS-Cov-2.
- my backlog of short stories at deadlinesforwriters
Listening
- „Saving Us“ by Katherine Hayhoe on Bookbeat, still. I am considering cancelling my subscription to this app
- For some reason *cough*espcapism*cough* I have fallen back in love with the Barbie Movie Soundtrack (YouTube link). Who would have thought I might end up liking a song called „Pink“? Not me 😄
- Radio Wacken for breakfast, if my husband is home. If it’s just me, there is likely going to be silence in the background.
Watching
- Both available seasons of „The Night Manager“. I love it and still, I am not good at getting spy stories. People run around, aks questions, get cryptic answers and speed away again on stolen motor bikes. I have trouble keeping up, yet am entertained anyway.
- My latest guilty pleasure: Old video snippets from the British soap Emmerdale (YouTube link). Those people are so intense and come up with the weirdest stunts to try and solve their problems. And still I get them more than what is going on on the global stage these days.
Now Working On
- getting back out of my March post-COVID slump and back to blogging at least once per week.
- still changing all my pictures from png to webp
- learning the basics of Ubuntu after having used it since 2010.
Now Doing
- sewing two skirts following an 18 century inspired pattern that is supposed to always fit, also trousers with pockets (!)
- learning about pinning chess pieces from the Duolingo course
- revelling in Nature waking up around me and hoping for being able to smell lilac blossoms again
- following a nicotine patch protocol against my post-COVID symptoms

Ending 2025 Intentionally
I have an annual tradition of taking stock using a list of questions. This year I chose ending 2025 intentionally with a blog post.
