The time flies by so fast, it’s hard to believe so much has happened during the last year!
Looks like it’s time for yet another upshot post?
I’ll start with the most significant one: last July the most special woman has become my wife, which we then celebrated in Cannes in September.
During 2019 I have also:
- Worked 1836 hours as a freelancer;
- Discovered and learned Hugo, reimplemented this blog and moved to Cloudinary for media storage;
- Written 186 posts in Russian, 59 in English (this one included), and 9 in Dutch, as well as 25 Glossary terms;
- Run 813 km on 44 occasions (including one half marathon).
The rest will be described in the chronological order.

Kanns in Cannes. A celebration of our wedding in the most magical place.
Also Monaco and Nice.

Last but not least, in December we’ve received presents from Sinterklaas:

After that the Rotary Santa Run, Paris and the Belgian Mechelen:
I wish all my readers a happy and a healthy 2020!
