The father of my mother die last month. Unfortunatly I couldn`t attend the funeral as my grandmother and him were living deeply in the countryside. When I learn the news from my mother voice on the phone, I just start crying even if I wasn't surprised. He was 89 and was suffering from anaemia for the last 3 years. His condition required him to go regularly to hospital to get fresh blood. I was sad as a grandson losing his grandfather, however I wasn`t feeling devastated. Of course, to medita...

Yesterday, I have moved out of my accommodation. I was living there for one year and a half. I used to quiet like this house, but recently I couldn't stand it anymore.

The main reason come from sharing the house with the landlord. I cannot say that I think he was a bad, the opposite would probably true considering him as an individual. But he was a ter...

The title is already quiet self explicit, I feel netherless that I should elaborate a little bit more. I have been in Leicester (UK) for already 2 years. I come from a city of the french riviera.

I don't think that my writing style will be extra...
