Building a house

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 18 Jun

I'm moving next year and my house is being built at the moment. This year I discovered just how many choices you have to make when you build a house instead of buying it. I'm making choices I didn't even know existed! Sometimes I...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 24 Jun 23

I'm visiting a friend tomorrow, and I thought it would be nice to bring something, so I baked some chocolate muffins. I actually didn't have any eggs, so I googled a vegan recipe. They turned out great! I already tried one (gotta...

Fractured my skull this Monday

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 11 Jan 20

On Monday night I was driving my bike home when I hit an open car door. No lights were on in the black car, so it was almost impossible to see. I was unconscious, and was brought to the hospital. There I found out my skull was...

Poetry Day (in Belgium)

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 31 Jan 19

Today is poetry day in Belgium, and in schools we truly celebrate it. Poems are hung all around the place. This year's theme is 'freedom'. I'm a language teacher, so any form of literature is interesting to me, though I have to...

How do you stay in shape?

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 16 Jan 19

I'm trying to get more into shape. I definitely don't need to lose weight or anything, but I just want my body to be more like it used to. In the past, it was easier to stay in shape, but now I'm finding it difficult. I also don't...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 30 Oct 18

Here in Belgium, autumn has been unusually dry. However, last Friday it has begun to rain. Yesterday was dry as well, but now the rainy season is truly upon us. I mostly get around by bike, so this bugs me quite a lot. Today, for...

We've been having these really beautiful October days lately, and I've been absolutely loving it. Today it's 23 °C, which is pretty hot for this time of the year. I've just gotten back from a walk with my mother, and we didn't...

Locked out on my balcony!

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 9 Oct 18

It's a beautiful day today, so I decide to go out on my balcony and enjoy the sun. Since flies come into the house really easily through the balcony window/door, I close the window. I sit in my chair for a couple of minutes, going...

My boyfriend currently works as an accountant, but he's not really happy with his job. The problem is that he doesn't know what do do for a living. He would actually prefer to work part time, which wouldn't be a problem, except...

Finding a home

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 7 Oct 18

My boyfriend and I are looking to buy a house. We currently rent an apartment, but we think it would be so nice to get a place we can actually call our own. If we have our own home, we can change whatever we want in it, and it...

What is your favorite season?

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 6 Oct 18

I personally prefer autumn, because I love the weather, getting to wear layers, forest walks... I don't like the fact that it gets darker sooner in the evening, though. Nevertheless, autumn is pretty great in my book. I also...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 4 Oct 18

Hello fellow mylotters. I have decided to set myself a goal for the rest of October. I will attempt to start a new discussion each day (or at least 5 a week, if I'm out of inspiration, I might skip the weekends). I haven't been...

Reducing your trash

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 1 Oct 18

In recent years, I've come across more and more posts/videos/articles about zero waste. I think it's a great idea, but actually going zero waste seems basically impossible to me. Nevertheless, it has made me more conscious of...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 27 Sep 18

One of my hobbies is basically checking out online stores to see if there is anything I like. Unfortunately for my wallet, there's always a bunch of stuff that I like! I can just spend an hour scrolling through these websites and...

It's that time of the year again...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 21 Jun 18

June for us teachers (in Belgium at least) means correcting exams and a lot of administration we need to get in order. It's a lot of work, but I'm definitely not complaining about the vacation I'll be getting afterwards! I'm...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 15 Feb 18

Watching movies is one of my hobbies and that is why I'm also interested in the Oscars. I don't always agree with the outcome of those awards, but the majority of the nominated films are quite enjoyable. Right now, I've seen 6 out...

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 21 Jun 17

The last few days it's been so hot, there's a heatwave going on. Usually, my house is quite cool, but when it stays this warm for so many days in a row, it heats up quite a bit. In these temperatures, I always have trouble...

Do you like scary movies?

maclanis @maclanis (2406) • Belgium 4 May 17

I just watched Get Out and really enjoyed it. It had been a while since I had seen a horror movie, even though I usually really enjoy those. I used to be scared of horror movies, but I've always been rather drawn to them as well....
