Hello there!
It is good that you enjoyed the food. You are probably right about the reason why they won't open at noon. It is quite common in some places here to open only at night for the reason you mentioned.

I saw the third special too.
I watched until episode 6 included of Wheel of Time. I am so anguished about A.  This season is definitely much better than the first one. I've read a few comments from people who read the books and it says that there are a lot of changes in the adaptation but that they are good. They kept the feeling of the story and the books are simply too big. So get ready 

I laughed at the references you mentioned to both wizards called Harry. I remember the Verus one was commented in this forum years ago. I had never read them though. The new book you mentioned sounds interesting too.

My Christmas Tree is up!  Also, my foot is getting better, this past week it hurt less, so i am happy. And today is a sunny day so I feel happy even when today begins the new presidential run.

@Regen,very good about your mother!

We are having a lot of rain, but apparently it will stop tomorrow.

I have very little time to post, I just wanted to say hello and I will be back when I have more time.

Hello there! I hope you are better now.
I never been in a place with a lot of snow, so my poor mind always struggles imagining that. Rationally I know some things but I am sure I miss a lot and I cannot completely gather the concept.
Ugh, having the sidewalks at the same level than the street sounds so dangerous. And Charly would complain so much (Charly is a forumite who goes by the name Cenwolfgirl even when they identified as not-binary now. They had not come here in a while). Charly is visually impaired (severely so) and the fact that their walking cane cannot tell when the sidewalk ends is always a problem.
I've seen pictures of several places of Germany this week, all covered in thick snow. Absolutely stunning postcard images, but I imagine it can be quite complicated for everyday living there. Anyways, I hope both your children have fun. And make sure the fur babies are warm!

I've seen the second Doctor Who special too and I liked it. It was both scary and emotional. Yes, Jodie's Doctor reincarnated in David Tennant so he is now the Ten and Fourteenth Doctor. He is not exactly the same person, he is more mature, sad and open. And no, apparently there will be not a season with them. At the end of the 3 special or at the beginning of the Christmas' special, Tennant will regenerate in the 15th Doctor.

I think I am in ch, 33 or 34 of TOA now. Super interested! There is a lot of action including a
I also watched until episode 3 of Wheel of Time season 2. I have not read the books, but the show has an interesting world and the show looks beautiful. But the first season was not so interesting in itself. Season 2 is much more interesting for me for some reason, but every episode is so long I only watch one at the time.

Thanks for your good wishes!

I am sorry about your mother having COVID and having to wait but really, it is so good that she will be at home for Christmas. The first Christmas without you loved one is always bad. It will be bad for you and your girls too, so it is good that grandma is home.

I am around ch. 20 of The Olympic Affair and quite interested but I've been busy and I could not read too much. Like you, I have some trouble focusing with the constant changes in each chapter (I mean, we follow different people every chapter).

I've been better of my toe but yesterday I did a short run at home to answer the phone and it really hurt. It was super sore all day, but today is better.
((((((((everyone))))))))))))

Thanks Regen!
I know hallux valgus runs in the families, but I do not remember any of my parents complaining about it. Even when it is super obvious when you look at my feet, so far it only bothers me if I use really slender shoes, what I try not to do. So do not worry. If you ever develop it, I do not think it will be too bad if you do not have it yet.
I am glad to hear you found several remedies for your inflammation. I hope mine will recede, as it was triggered by a falling and hopefully will get better, but if not, I will learn to live with those things that helped me. I try not to take painkiller or anything so I could track how the thing is going. The day I told you I had taken ibuprofen, it was really bothering me, but it has been moderately good since that moment. Today in particular there are moments I do not feel any pain at all, and others were it really hurts, mostly when I leave it still for too long and then try to move it.

I had a very lazy Saturday and I did not feel like reading the Olympian affair. I had been so emotionally depleted by the political climate, that I ended reading silly things on internet and playing small games, things like that. But I will try to read some tomorrow to distract myself for the news until the results are announced.

I loved your story about Mini's friend. I am sure she is a proud godmother.

I remember you telling us about your choir before. I hope the concert is awesome and that you enjoy the celebration.

We have a word meaning the same like Wadenbeißer for small dogs. It is "Garronero" as garrón is a name for the calves. But I do not remember other names like that. We have cuzquito but that means that it is a small dog and nothing else.

I had a few news about some friends, and I was happy to hear them. One of them is having twins soon! He has twin brothers himself and I hope they help him 

Well, I try to write soon, meanwhile I hope your weekend goes well. ((((((everyone))))))

((((((((DC)))))))))))
I've only read the prologue and ch.1 so far, I've been busy. I hope I can read it on the weekend.

My foot is still sore, even after several kinesiology sessions. My doctor asked me an MRI (I think that is the proper English acronym. For us is Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (RMN) but apparently is nothing wrong. I am in less pain when walking, but when in bed or with the feet raised or sometimes when I am just sitting for a while it just hurts. I do not know what happens, but my doctor gave me more kinesiology sessions.

Ey there!
Well, it is good that perhaps you are not so rushed with two books to read at the same time. One book first, then the other. Also, delayed gratification for Jim book (at least, I hope it will be pleasant to read it).

I still did not begin watching Loki but I finished watching the current season of The Dragon Prince (it is an animated show) and watched 6 episodes of Star Trek Lower Decks. Also, I began watching Bodies, a sci-fi show which is on Netflix. It is based on a Vertigo Comic I had not heard about.

Glad you have fun with the museum. It is so good when people we already admire surprised us with more talents!

And...kittens! How are they doing? How is your family adjusting to them? At least they are already cuddling with your husband, so it seems that they feel at home already.
