1st mile: My feet and my legs were screaming
2nd mile: The upper body started to feel the pain
3rd mile: Panic time in the lungs
4th mile: the whole body was in pain
5th-till the end: the body in cruise mode. no more pain!
It wasn’t pleasant this morning!

Just beautiful! There are a bunch videos about Juwel tanks. It really makes me want to have my own fish tank!

For two weeks, I wondered where this acid and acrid smell came from when I opened my fridge. I also cleaned it perfectly but the smell lingered. I finally found out the origin of the smell: lemon’s skin. I bought 4-5 lemons and they emit this strange odor.
My cold does not seem very serious. That is good because I want to avoid another long coughing period that could last for months.

I caught a cold just before I received the flu vaccine :)! Ironic, isn’t it? My throat is sore and I am a bit feverish. I will probably cough if it does not go away quickly.
On the bright side, I lost 1.5 kgs because I ate more veggies.

I bought the flu vaccine and I shot myself in the parking lot right away. Easy peacy! My shoulder was a bit numb for few minutes. I could barely feel it. I always wondered if I get deep enough inside the skin. I did not push the needle vertically but at 45 degrees. I did not bleed so I was guessing the needle did not reach the muscle. It was a bit red though.

I did not know that cans of sardines can be kept over 10 years and that they taste better just like wine (if you return the can every now and then):
The price is a bit more expensive: LINK

Last night, I saw the Adam’s family car advancing right in the middle of the street and stopping. The “fat boy” ran back to look for his father. I asked him if he needed help to push the car.
His answer: “No but she, referring to his mother, is completely suicidal”. I simply said OK and closed the door.
His emotional answer summarized very well the distress in which his family is: an alcoholic dad who did some prison time, a bitter mother who suffered minor disabilities and …him.
The “fat boy” is no longer fat thanks to a quick growth that got rid of his weight problem. He became much more alert and quiet. Maturity comes at a great price!

I went back to the farm each Sunday. It is very relaxing to spend an hour or two picking food. The salads are delicious and I eat them as soon as I get home. Today was raspberry day, and of course, I could not resist eating them as I pick them :). Just picture yourself being alone in a huge field full of raspberry trees. So quiet and so nice!

I finally found time to write down the advance directives regarding end-of-life issues addressed to medical personnel: the formal paperwork can be found here: LINK.
I have to write these directives every 3 years to keep them valid. I find it safer to be very clear about what I want after watching the movie “ME BEFORE YOU“
