Weird? Pretty much.
Dina:
Yeah, I am arachnophobic, so I would hate to live in a place with "an unusual amount of fat spiders". I live in an appartment now so we have few spiders, and not very large. When I lived in a house we had 3 or 4 cats, so it was not too bad.
What do you think about the chapters? (without spoilers)
Regenbogen:
I loved the chapters. I'm very curious how it will go on. I hope there will be one more chapter tomorrow, but somehow the text on the website wasn't clear. There was something about a next chapter in a future drop. We will see tomorrow.
And I am glad that there are no bigger fat spiders in Germany than about 5 cm with feet. There are some very thin spiders with longer legs, but none of them is poisonous to humans. Not that I would appreciate any spider coming so near that it can bite me, I'm afraid too. I know it is irrational and I am able to remove them but not alive. So when someone else is in the house (my husband) I ask him to throw it out alive, but I get out of the way while he is transporting it. :-\
But if I am alone, I have to do it myself. I can't sleep when I know there is one in my bedroom. ;)
Dina:
Ok, that is bad, but not that good either. I had seen really large spiders and it is awful.
I can deal with the bodies too but I also call hubby to kill spiders for me. Unless I am alone and then I have to do it. If they are very small, we take them out but in general I feel better if the monsters are killed. I know, irrational. It is, I never pretended to be a Vulcan.
Luckily in the lockdown hubby is always with me, so at least one problem less.
In other topics, it is 16°C now and a bright, sunny day, but my home feels cold. I am enjoying the cold, though, as it is probably the last few weeks.
Regenbogen:
Here autumn is coming. You can feel it in the air. And some leaves have turned yellow and red.
Tomorrow or better today as it is past midnight now school starts with a new year. My little one is a firstgrader and my older one now goes to the next school. Is it called secondary school? There are several kinds of public schools you can go to after elementary school.
The common ones are Mittelschule, Realschule and Gymnasium (not a hall to do sports in, that's the German name for grammar school or so, I'm not sure, if this is correct). To the first you go, if you want to become something like a craftsman for example. Very practical, not much theory.
The second (the one my daughter goes to) is for everything else you need a higher education than the first, the big middle so to speak. The last one you need too attend if you want to study afterwards or take on an academic career. Your grades need to be better for the last one than for the first two.
They are trying to start as normal as possible. The kids and teachers will have to wear masks like before the holidays. The classes are not allowed to mix. That means at first there will be no going outside during the first break. Each class has to stay in their room. Some schools do shifts with going outside. The first graders of our village are allowed to use the church for the welcome speech. This is great, because the church is bigger than the school hall, so every child can bring up to two people as company. After the welcome speech the kids will go into their classrooms (the school is just over the street from the church).
When they do it like this, they hope that there would maybe be no need to shut down the whole school again, if one child has the virus. But only one class. In theory. Let's see what the future brings.
I want it to bring a certain book about some weird wizard guy kicking ass and getting his ass kicked in return. ;)
Doroga's Cousin:
It's always kind of amused me that the different types of post-primary German schools translate as "Middle school" (which is what it's most often called in the US), "real school" and... well, you know. :P
