;D Probably. I would have written it Dankeshen maybe.
Yesterday marked six months since we won the World Cup, and the Argentinian association of football (soccer) made a celebratory video which was quite fun. As it was our third championship, we now have 3 golden stars. And the video was mostly a reference to that in comparison with the 3 stars of the Michelin chefs. I guess a mockery to France, who got the second position.
Yes, I understand change is sometimes good, even with stores. For example, in the same building of my appartment there was a real state place and now there is a small grocery store, kind of a 7/11. For me, that was an improvement :D
Now that I had good news about my job, I decided to buy "Instinct", the book with the short Mouse story. I have not read it, but it is already in my kindle, and that is good.
Dina:
Sorry about the double post, but it has been a while and I wanted to comment I read "The fugitive" (JB short story about Mouse and Cerberus) and I loved it. So epic and cute at the same time.
Regenbogen:
Hi!
(((((Dina)))))
I also liked the short story. Jim Butcher will be at Supercon this weekend. I hope there will be videos on YouTube or so. And I hope (admittedly to our own advantage ;)) that after that he will be full of energy and creativity to put that into Twelve Months to make it the best not planned novel ever. ;D
Yesterday at work I got startled that this Saturday it will already be July! June has gone by so fast. How did that happen? Maybe because I had lots and lots of appointments with doctors and PT.
My PT guy is Spanish by the way. Sometimes he has another Spanish guy with him and they talk to each other about the job and I noticed I did understand at least what they were talking about, just enough to guess what they meant. Sometimes it's just single words, though. But hey I never took a real language course, just Duolingo.
The other guy's German is not so good yet, so he talks in a mixture of German, English and Spanish.
The left knee is not OK now but I can use it and I am mostly without much pain. But sadly my right knee is not getting better. Next week I will have an appointment with another specialist to talk about how to proceed.
My PT guy managed to improve the flexibility of my muscles and tendons but there is still some swelling and I am not able to walk correctly.
And of course I know I need to loose weight, but we all know that as always easier said than done especially when you are limited in movement. I know how to do it, I have lost 15 kg already 3 times, but it always took 1 year and I always got it back afterwards and I am not a nice person when I can't eat what I want, lol. And back then I was still able to run.
I think I could do it again though, but honestly I am afraid of myself in the process.
Dina:
Short post because I have no time. I hope they find a way to help you with your right knee. And congratulations, it is not easy to understand Spaniards when they talk to each other.
And I hope the same about Jim :)

Hello weirdlings :)
Sorry I haven't been on, I missed you guys.
How's everyone doing? Myself, I have a couple of mulberry trees (one white, one black) that yield about 26 kg/week each from mid-april to the beginning of June. The white ones are so sweet, if you eat a cookie afterwards it tastes bland. So naturally I ate (directly from the tree) whenever I got hungry, and gained 6.5 kgs LOL.
Its apple season now though, so I'm using that to get rid of that extra weight.
@Regen: I know that struggle, I gain weight easily as well. I made a few changes to my diet a few years ago, and now I'm only 12 kg overweight instead of 35. :D But these 12 kg are horrible. I lose 3, gain 10, lose 7, etc etc. And I have a very physical job as well, which helps a lot. You, though, are screwed :D You have to take the hard road.
PS: Thanks for the PM :)
