{{<figure src="images/now/Bram_Willemse-Eefje-2023.jpeg" alt="A tortoise cat curled up in someone's arms, looking at them softly.">}}

<p>On a more personal note, I have been grieving for my cat 'Eefje'. In a stroke of really bad luck, she died last December, only 2,5 years old, roaming her neighbourhood.</p>

<p>After she died many people in the neighourhood often share how much they missed and still miss her. She had no fear and was relentlessly curious. It's strange how much one can miss a tiny friend like that... 🥲</p>

## Keeping busy

- After a break of a few months, starting the new year **I started looking for a new freelance job** as a product owner, manager, or in another role where I can put my experience to good use.
- **I have started work at [Bidfood](https://bidfood.nl)**, a Dutch hospitality wholesale company, part of a bigger international enterprise.
- **I have been running [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/ "Read about Home Assistant")** on a Raspberry Pi for a while now. It's a great open source operating system for my smart home. It makes paid, cloud-based services like IFTTT a thing of my past. Great fun!
- **I am preparing to have my girlfriend move in with me.** 💜 Enough DIY chores to do before she arrives!
- **My girlfriend recently moved in with me.** 💜 Which still brings enough DIY jobs to do in the house and garden for the time to come, like: a garden shed (for bikes and tools), a sliding wall to separate our sleeping space from the rest of the house and more.

## Personal development

- On a bi-weekly basis **I am meeting up with my Mastermind group** with 2 befriended colleagues. We help keep ourselves and each other accountable for our personal development goals and discuss themes we run into while doing so.
- **I am currently reading** [Pillars of the Earth](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5043.The_Pillars_of_the_Earth "Read about Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet on GoodReads") by Ken Follet, [The Culture Map](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22085568-the-culture-map "Read about The Culture Map by Erin Meyer on GoodReads") by Erin Meyer, [Why We Sleep](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34466963-why-we-sleep "Read about Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker on GoodReads") by Matthew Walker, [The Professional Product Owner](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35133269-the-professional-product-owner "Read about the Professional Product Owner by Don McGreal on GoodReads") by Don McGreal.
- **I am currently reading** [Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9833.Blind_Willow_Sleeping_Woman "Read about Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami on GoodReads") by Haruki Murakami (one of my favourite authors), [The Culture Map](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22085568-the-culture-map "Read about The Culture Map by Erin Meyer on GoodReads") by Erin Meyer, [Why We Sleep](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34466963-why-we-sleep "Read about Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker on GoodReads") by Matthew Walker, [The Professional Product Owner](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35133269-the-professional-product-owner "Read about the Professional Product Owner by Don McGreal on GoodReads") by Don McGreal.

## Keeping calm &amp; fit

- I **started bouldering** in 2021 and I love it. I try to do it twice a week and I've been climbing up until 6A levels.
- I **started bouldering** in 2021 and I love it. I try to do it twice a week and I've been climbing up until 6A+ levels.
- **I run**. After spending most my energy in keeping calm through a crisis and a home renovation, I steadily crawled out of my running slump since 2020. No ambitious plans, but a healthy focus on getting fitter and fitter and running longer and longer distances. After some injuries and COVID (again) end of 2023, I aim to get in marathon form again and to run the Utrechtse Heuvelrug Trail (UHT) at least once. You can follow my progress on [Strava](https://strava.com/athletes/bramwillemse "Follow my training progress on Strava").
- **I am practicing yin yoga again**, after finding an awesome Amsterdam yoga school called [Tula Yoga](https://www.tulayogastudios.nl/). It's a great contrasting exercise next to running and bouldering.
