Dina:
Hello everyone! I am having a very long weekend. Today is the Day of our Flag, which is also the day where we honored the creator of the flag. Manuel Belgrano is someone I was always proud to say he was Argentinian. He was very clever and always compassionate. A lawyer and economist by vocation, coming from old money, who chose to became a soldier to fight for the independence, becoming a general. He did many, many things, and died very poor. Also, the country failed him. Once he received a lot of money for his services and he donated it to the State with the express provision of it was used to build 4 schools in specific rural areas. They did only one, in 1822 (2 years after his death, so it was reasonable). The other 3 were finished in 1974, 1998 and 2004.
If there is a Heaven, I hope he is happy now.

@ Dina:
Sounds like a great man. I hope you had a wonderful day.
Today after work, I was at the river by bike. Still a lot of water. I managed to get home just before the rain started. I just needed to drive around as long as the sun was shining.
The workday was quiet and I hope it will be exactly like this tomorrow, too.
Dina:
Hopefully so! And it seems like you enjoyed yourself.
I've a little under the weather, so I spent a lot of time playing a video game :) A super quiet one, with puzzles. All lazy and comfortable.
Also, JB progress bar is in 58% now :)
Regenbogen:
I did. And thanks, I noticed the progress bar. But I am trying not to get too excited about it. I told my friend and she got excited instead, lol.
I've rediscovered Tetris and Minesweeper. Played for 2 hours one day. My husband wanted to show me something and I was like "can it wait until I've finished the level? I am playing Tetris. " and he laughed and installed it for his phone too. 8)
BTW Tetris is turning 40 next year.
Dina:
It is ok, I understand about the JB Bar.
That is so fun about you playing so much. And wow, 40 years.
I will admit here that I am playing a Nancy Drew mystery. Not the first even. I played this line of games for a lot of years, I do not want to even think how many.
