What about experiences ? Not bad either, 213, because this year started with being at home and solitude. The year began with <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/category\/guardian-31-day-diet-for-january\/guardians-feed-your-soul\/\">The Guardian&#8217;s 31-day literary diet for January<\/a>, which was extraordinary. A mix of poems, podcasts, lectures, essays, interviews, films, and music, &#8230;. Very few concerts, conferences, operas and theatre plays, Covid-19 oblige. Few courses, but I must mention that I am now a <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2021\/07\/04\/200h-kundalini-yoga-training-imagine-yoga-academy-2021\/\">200H Kundalini Yoga Teacher<\/a> and have learned to play the <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2021\/11\/29\/au-coeur-du-son-cristallin-joyah-castaneda-2021\/\">crystal bowls<\/a>. Quite a few exhibitions through Paris and Venice and a walk at the <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2021\/04\/17\/arboretum-du-vallon-de-laubonne-aubonne-2021\/\">Arboretum<\/a> near Aubonne, the beginning of healing for me. Fifty-two films, lots of Tarantino, Quentin Dupieux and Miyazaki, but one so beautiful, so touching, <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2021\/12\/29\/les-garcons-et-guillaume-a-table-guillaume-gallienne-2013\/\">Les gar\u00e7ons et Guillaume, \u00e0 table !<\/a> I started listening to podcasts while doing other things so as not to get bored and I will mention <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2021\/11\/24\/unearthed-mysteries-from-an-unseen-world-royal-botanic-gardens-kew-2021\/\">Unearthed &#8211; Mysteries from an unseen world<\/a> by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, and that&#8217;s also how I discovered the existence of these gardens. I watched only <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/category\/series\/page\/2\/\">three series<\/a>, but I loved them equally. Even with Covid-19, we were able to eat in seven amazing restaurants. And finally, this year I started to read the Arabian Nights with the aim of one night a day, which will therefore end on the 27<sup>th<\/sup> of September 2023. I have already read the <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2021\/11\/23\/les-mille-et-une-nuits-tome-1-nuits-1-a-327-anonyme-iiie-au-xiiie-siecle\/\">first volume<\/a>, and its 32 first tales, and started the second volume.
