The German way

The German way If you are not a frequent football or maybe not a football fan at all, I guess it is more than enough that the World cup will make you a football fan at least for a month. World Cup winners in 2014 were Germany, winning it by a golden goal, if you don’t know what that is, look it up (worth the watch). So what is the German way? Last night, Germany vs Sweden, Sweden getting away with a draw that will surely see Germany out of the group stage for the first time since 1938, down to the last minute of extra time, the fate of the country weighing on one player to stand up and take the free kick from a semi-impossible area outside the penalty box and oh dear, he didn’t disappoint and sealed three glorious points and the whole world went mad.  Nope, still not making this a football blog, but why are you seeing this?

Winter is here Well for a lot of you out there that look forward to winter, the rain, snow, fire place, winter clothes and cold weather, well that is not what I am talking about here. If you are looking for some romance or a weather forecast on how winter is going to be, then you are in the wrong place.  If you have never watched Game of thrones, oh dear you are missing out on a lot of action and drama and a lot of phrases that have became popular over the years. Not to spoil it for you, you can guess that the meaning of “winter is here” is that things are going really bad.  If you have already braced yourself and prepared yourself mentally, physically and financially then winter shouldn’t affect you that much, but what happens when you don’t? I have been taken by surprise by winter a few times, finding myself in a position that I did not see myself reaching. In the past, I got a new job with a decent salary and started to organize and budget my spending’s a...
