Warrior Nun Season 1
Recently I watched the first season of this Netflix original. Like many others this is an adaptation of a comic book about a ‘superhero’.

Star Trek. The Motion Picture
I recently decided to watch the Star Trek movies again. I watched them very long ago and thought it would be a bit of ‘brainless’ fun to watch them all in a short period of time. What better time to do so than a typical dreary Belgian summer. The first movie of the series came…

Factfulness, Hans Rosling (ISBN 978-1473637498, Hodder & Stoughton)
This book was given to me by an uncle somewhere middle of 2019. As I have no shortage of books in the ‘want to read’ category I put in on the stack and left it there for some time. Then came some science oriented discussions about facts with our kids related to their homework assignments.…
