My dream

I dream of retiring. I intend to concentrate on reading those books that I simply haven’t had time to get round to. I’d like to learn to play the piano and prepare food.

The best thing is I can be at the summer cottage as long as the daylight lasts. Maybe a bit of genealogy or then who knows…
