Actually I think of other things than ghosts when I see these pictures, but I like ghosts better… Besides, I was unable to produce anything but very “schematic” pics from this one and that was also the point here I guess, so you’ll have to come back for the arty shots another day.
I’m back home [...]

Not only do I find myself at the end of a job contract, wondering what do do with my life next (hence the late update), I also find myself between some larger knitting projects.
