Since I am friendly with the old ladies at the store, they always try to tell me if the “bone” is available. It’s just smoked cooked ham but it is delicious and very expensive. I prefer the “bone” part because it’s cheap with lots of meat. Today’s light dinner:

The ENT specialist (Ear-Nose-Throat specialist) simply said that my hearing tests were almost perfect. He did sense something near the range of 4000 Hz that might cause some minor events such as me hearing low frequencies — it was just the inner ear that reacted to some fatigue.

I’ve been receiving since few weeks spams through SMS and un-answered calls, it was annoying because it forced me to check my phone. Finally, I found a way to block them though my provider interface. There is indeed an option to selectively block unwanted incoming SMS numbers and incoming calls.

I was a bit surprised to see my bank account debited twice by the tax collector. Luckily, they immediately reimbursed the excess. The whole confusion was my fault.

I ran 3 times 10 kms last week. My body is a bit sore. The trees are blossoming and it is nice to see the new green leaves and the flowers. I was shocked when I came to help Malika with her administrative paperwork after her minor surgery. She wanted to make copies of her […]
