It is that second 2? i have not watched it yet (I watched all season 1 though). So many shows to watch...
This week is the show finale of The Flash and I watched the Titans finale a few days ago.

Sleep well! (((Regen)))

Yes, it's season 2. Oh, I haven't seen the Titans yet. Is it good?

Quite uneven. The main storyline is fine, but there are too many silly things. And the ending feels rushed after several new paths were outlined. But I did like the costumes. There is also an episode full of cheap cameos...some of them i could not help but like, because I am such a silly DC fan  :D

I think I will use the long and rainy weekend to catch up with some shows. I have not see the last Mrs. Maisel season for instance. And I suppose I should watch Carnival Row. I watched the first season because I loved the setting and the main actors, but I have to confess I was bored. So I am not enthusiastic about the new season, but I probably watch it. Just for closure.

So, we started with Titans. Only episode 1 so far, but it starts promising.

I also watched Carnival Row. Because there were wings and because I realised that Orlando Bloom actually looks better with age, lol. I have not yet seen season 2.

Sorry, are you watching Titans season 1 or season 4, which is the final one? i was talking about season 4. I think the first season began weak but got better.

Ok, in my opinion the first episodes are weak but it becomes more interesting later.

Cool. I liked the first one.

I also watched the first two episodes of "Der Greif" (the Griffin). It's on German Amazon prime. It is a new series made of a young adults book by Wolfgang and Heike Hohlbein, famous German fantasy authors. There are a bunch of books for kids from 10 years and older. I read them all as s kid. For adults he writes more like horror, but there is fantasy also.
I remember the Greif being one of the last ones I read by him and his wife. But I don't remember much.
It's about a boy who inherited a duty from his family, he at first didn't believe in: to be the guardian of the Black Tower. The Black Tower is a very big one, there are whole dangerous worlds in each of its floors and under the roof the griffin lives. Nobody has ever been there and come back alive.
The griffin rules the tower, but he is cruel.

All I remember from the book were the big tower and the griffin.

Of course the boy is special, because he is the only family member who can wish himself into the tower and out again. All the others (OK, so far only his older brother is left) have to take a secret portal.

And I suppose the endgame will be that they fight the griffin and free the people living in the tower.

And there is always at least one character who is not what he seems to be. At first I thought it was the new girl, but now I think it is someone else. How fortunate I don't remember the book. I don't remember if there even was a girl. Or a brother... Maybe they are free creations for the series or maybe they were in the book but with lesser roles.

I like how they made the tower look. And they made the time look like the early 90s when the book was written.

I'll definitely watch the rest of it.

That sounds interesting (The Griffin).

I had some very good news today at work, so I am superhappy. I am also very tired and I need to go to bed soon (((((everyone))))))

I went biking along the river with my husband today. The kids wanted to stay at home. Better for us. No complaining, mwahaha!
My PT told me to use the bike every day. It's good for my knee. And as I like biking anyway that's not so bad. It's just that I don't always find the time. Thank God we also have an exercise wheel at home that my husband bought about 20 years ago, when he tried to loose weight. So there is also fun in biking when it's icy outside or when it's raining. I placed it in front of the TV, lol. And I could read while using it.

Tomorrow my mother is going to have surgery and I'll have to sleep at her home, because the doctors said they can only send her home if someone stays with her all night in case she starts to bleed. She is taking heparin so there is a risk. The surgery is not big, just a small knot that has to be cut out.

That sounds so good about biking along the river with your husband. And I am glad you have the wheel at home, for when weather is not good. And you can enjoy the TV or a book while doing exercise. I hope it all helps you indeed with your knee.

Wishing the best for your mom, try to have some fun together at night. You will be children-free for a night, so perhaps you can find some rest  :D. Next time we talk, please, tell us how it went.

I am back. All went well. No bleeding. She has to get the dressing changed every day. Today I drove her to the hospital for that. Tomorrow she is allowed to drive on her own.
After the hospital we went to two cemeteries to water the plants on 6 graves. 3 of our family and the others of the neighbours' family, because they are on vacation. It is not hot, just warm, about 20-26°C. But there is a dry wind and there has been no significant rain for weeks now. So the ground is very dry.

Super glad to hear about your mom!
Wow, I am surprised to hear about the cemeteries. Here people is going less and less to cemeteries. I have not been in years.
We have 23 C which is a record or something for June. Winter begins on june 21 and here we have such warm temperatures, it is incredible. It is quite clouded though, so perhaps it will rain later.
