Hello everyone!
It is Good Friday. Here what we call the Holy Week is Thursday is a day without school, banks, and most people do not have to go to work, but other people have to. Good Friday is like a Sunday. For us Catholics these are days of introspection. But if you celebrate, I wish you a happy Easter Sunday!
We are also having a new raise in the temperature, not a heat wave. It is quite nice.
Last of us is in HBOmax for me. It is based on a game and yes, it is a zombie stuff indeed only the monsters are not real zombie but fungi infected people. The show is actually quite good, zombies are just the excuse for other things and for the post-apocalyptic word.
The Mandalorian is not so good this season as the previous ones, I think.
Regenbogen:
Hey everybody!
The kids have found all the chocolate eggs and bunnies I have the Easter Bunny has hidden outside.
At noon we are going to a restaurant with my mother. I'll take the bike, because there will be a lot to eat in the next days. We have 8 coloured eggs left.
I have started reading "Der Schwarm" by Frank Schätzing. It is a good book, though all the people, no matter who it is, are talking exactly like the author in direct speech. In a somehow pompous way, lol. Like one does, when one wants to sound intelligent.
But it is well written. And so far it is interesting.
Dina:
Hi there! In general, we do not have eggs hunting. It is not a tradition here, but some people who loves to follow the USA trends is beginning to do it now. Anyways, as we have no children, hubby and I bought a nice chocolate egg, with pistachios and sea salt. It was delicious! :)
Regenbogen:
Egg hunting is an old tradition here. Though nowadays you just hide chocolate eggs and the painted eggs stay in their basket inside. At least this is what we do. Usually one hangs some empty painted eggs on twigs of catkin bush (?). Outside I have coloured plastic eggs.
About the book I am reading: I take back my comment about direct speech. I'm on page 60 now and it has become more normal speech. Or perhaps I just got used to it. ;)
Parallel I am listening to Alera 3. But either my phone is starting to get worse or there is something wrong with the last update of the app. Probably both. The app fails a lot or doesn't even start. I already tried deleting and reinstalling. Power off, power on, deleting unused data, ... Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Sometimes I seem to generate some kind of murphyonic field, lol. Each device I have develops some quirk once I start to use it. Even wrist watches.
Dina:
I am sorry about your difficulties to reread Alera with your phone.
I have a friend who always created a murphyonic field around him :). That also happens when there are several coworkers wanting to use the same things, like a printer, or even a coffee machine.
We saw The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent in Amazon and we liked it. It was fun.
