Η νηπιαγωγός…
Πήγα σ’ ένα αγγλοελληνικό νηπιαγωγείο με δύο νηπιαγωγούς: μία γλυκύτατη Αγγλίδα η οποία μας έφερνε κάποιες φορές και το όμορφο μωράκι της -και το ζαλίζαμε το άμοιρο μωρό- και μία Ελληνίδα / Κύπρια (δεν θυμάμαι τι από τα δύο) η οποία ήταν πολύ ιδιότροπη, αυστηρή και όπως συνειδητοποίησα αργότερα χωρίς γνώσεις παιδαγωγικής. Κάποια στιγμή, ένα... Continue Reading →

Μικρές ιστορίες από ταξίδια…
Όλη μου τη ζωή με θυμάμαι να ταξιδεύω. Να μαζεύω τα πράγματά μου, να φτιάχνω βαλίτσες και να ξεκινάω για νέα μέρη ή να επιστρέφω για γέμισμα μπαταριών στα παλιά· και φυσικά με κάθε είδους μεταφορικό μέσο και υπό όλες τις καιρικές συνθήκες. Σαράντα μόλις ημερών έκανα το πρώτο μου ταξίδι και από εκεί και... Continue Reading →
