I like Aeronaut Windlass more than SOME DF books. I am particularly fond of Gwen but I like pretty much all the characters. Grimm is quite Harry-like, but I can't help but like him. And Cavendish is an stupendous villain.

The picture is old, but it shows some good moments of Buenos Aires, like the ones we are living now. They are also pink-flowered trees and near my university we have some ligher pink ones and some yellow-flowered bushes, which I love.

Happy birthday! I just got up but I will do the thread now.
I hope you are doing well. I am mostly nervous because Sunday are our presidential elections. I can't think in much more.

Oh, that was very interesting. I had never thought there would be such statal differences. Most of my country had the same schedule, with the only exceptions being places were Winter are too cold, so they have larger Winter holidays and more classes in the Summer.
Thanks for your detailed explanation!

Ah, I can imagine it looking so beautiful.
I am curious about the concept of Autumn holidays. How is the school year in Germany? I mean, when it begins, when it ends, when are the Holidays? Inquiring minds want to know.

((((Regen)))) I hope it all goes as well as possible with your knees.

I share your feelings about romance and adventure in the books. In general, I prefer that my adventure books are adventure books, with romance being the spice and not the main course.

We are having very nice, sunny days lately. October is a month I would suggest to visit Buenos Aires. Weather is nice and there are flowering trees that make it prettier than ever.

Ouch Regen! I am hurting just imagining it.
My pain is quite bothersome actually because sometimes it is random. Other times I can predict "if I place my foot this way it is going to hurt, if I place it this other way it won't" but sometimes I am comfortable, painless and it suddenly begins to hurt. Anyways, I have sessions Wednesday and Friday this week, I'll let you know how it goes.
Next week we have the presidential elections. I am quite terrified but that is pretty much the only thing I will say about that.
Also, today was Mother's Day here, so congratulations Regen! And congratulations to any mother reading this, and to the mothers of every forumite  :)

I am now in chapter 8 (or the third episode of season 2) and ir is a touch better. Nothing mind blowing but still fun to watch.

I do not remember if I told you that a while ago (several weeks!) I have a falling in the bus. Nothing serious, a few bruises that were healed in a few days, but I had a minor pain in the larger toe of my left foot. And that pain lingers, never getting better. So I went to the doctor, got X-rays, turns out it was nothing serious, basically a bruise. But he recommended me some kinesiology. I went to a professional twice so far, and i had not noticed any changes yes. Let's see what happens next week.

:) did they show his face when she said that?
No, not really, they were showing the girl doing the introduction, but they later showed him smiling and sending greetings to "president Maduro and his horrible dictatorship".

I hope you enjoy your secret reading!

Sorry you and your husband are ill. Get better soon! We are both with a sort of a cold too. He began before, with a lot of coughing and later a running nose. He is quite better now. But on Wednesday I was on a bus with air conditioning and even when I covered myself I think that is why my throat was sore and I began coughing. Today he is almost well, but i have the (not so bad) running nose and the very annoying coughing. My throat is not sore but it itches and it is too dry.

I hope that does not prevent you to have fun with your friend.

I finished watching Ahsoka and I liked it. I am very interested in what the future has in mind for Star Wars.

After watching so many ads about Lupin season 3 in Netflix I finally decided to begin watching the show. It is weird. I watched 4 episodes and I have a ton of critics, I do not think it is that good, BUT it is addictive. I want to keep watching!

LOL! Harvard made me so happy yesterday.
They welcome a former president of us (Argentina) and the girl who was making his introduction and reciting his résumé said he had been president of Venezuela from 4 years. It was so fun! Especially because he hates Venezuela so much...He based some of his campaign in "do not let Argentina became Venezuela"  :) :)

@Dina: someone should tell them to turn on the lights in those movies.
Yes!  :)
On the good side, the sound in the cinema was good and it has the advantage that some things could be heard like coming from a side (not the front) of the room. It helped a lot with the immersion in the dark, supernatural story.

Today was a sunny day and I was alone in my office/laboratory for several hours, so after lunch I did a short walk around the campus. It felt good.

You should, it is not expensive and I am pretty sure it kickstarts the next book.
Also (((((((DC)))))))))

I forgot to rant a little about Haunting in Venice. it is quite a dark movie. Literally dark, I mean. It is difficult to see. It seems to be a trend lately and I do not like it.
