what's new february

I've been living my january quite weirdly, i've been kinda stuck in mail exchanges about my appartement but it's ok i guess. We're handle this like an adult.

I got a cold few days in February. It became the seasonnal thing. so i was glued in my mucus almost for almost 3 weeks.

I flew to Bulgaria and Serbia, did 4 days each. It was awesome. I was in capital cities, Sofia and Belgrade, Love it so much i really consider returning for more. More visits, more museums, more time asking locals for their point of view.
And more Rakia/rakija.

bicycle

i've been thinking a lot about the cargo bicycle i wanna make but nothing serious yet, i got the frame, it might need few modifications and step to get it right:

• Extend the head tube
• Find a way to make the main bar to get the 'platform' installed
• find dirt cheap parts

photography

i still need to make a housing for the camera, just to have it in cased. i'm not using it.

Some parts of me still wanna learn few stuff with it. Such as how you get inside of parts and make them work on linux for my laptop. also i got myself a pixelfed again. pixey.org/cptbichez Not really a lot of pictures there yet

sewing

I'm evolving and fixing my clothes a lot, and now i'm working on how to sew pants. Because i'm not really into pants and i need them when it's getting below 5-10°C. I've cold burned my knees by riding home from a friend's and temperature was below 0°C, it was snowing. I wear shorts and overalls/dungarees (with short legs) all the time except in cold time in winter/spring

Other than that

I've been reading a lot, and it feels good. My brain is catching up with words and it feels great. When i was in Bulgaria i was surprised they use "мерси" (like a french "merci") and i was expecting a new word. The word i expected was "благодаря" (blagodarja). I had time to catch-up with words as i was outside all day. Didn't had the same amount of time outside in Serbia. And the only few time i got stressed to use "zdravo"(Hello/Hi) and "hvala" (Thanks). Being submerged in another language made me think i would love to do this again.
I visited Italy and i had like a week to use all the vocabulary written on a "quick helper" paper and at the end of the week i was able to catch a nice A1-A2 CEFL level.

I'll issue a passport, because i know i can go in all EU countries i want with my ID card but there's plenty of countries in Europe that are not in European Union. I'm looking at you Serbia. And i want you, i wasn't able to understand Belgrade like i understood for a quick time Sofia, Bulgaria. And the border guards weren't expecting me and my very french ID card (i got the newest one, with the Marianne bust in the chip.
That said i had time to read too, i brought books with me. I had a very nice time not using my laptop for few times.

End of Feb

I've been at home for a week and went to stuff every day. Late night at the library, radio workshop, jam session, sewing workshop. my unemployed life couldn't be that entertaining! One week left on feb and i'm going to a gamejam next week!

More!

Hope next month will be good with me!
