Last Friday I met Maria and Sergey for lunch, for the first time since Before Covid!
We've been watching Arctic Circle on topic.com . It's about a policewoman in northern Finland dealing with cases that require working with the nearby Russians. (She has a daughter with Down's Syndrome.) The first season was a multiple murder case involving a dangerous virus with a potential for a worldwide Covid-type pandemic. The second season, involving a Russian vigilante cult, is rather hard to swallow.
Nobody came to my History Meetup about Cuba. But I'll try again with Phoenician history next month.
Wednesday I went to North York Central library to borrow A Short History of the Phoenicians, and there's a shop there where you can buy library discharge books cheap, so I picked up Korean children's books about Lincoln and Gauguin. (I've already started translating the Lincoln book!)
I also went to see my shrink, whom I almost missed: I remembered his new address, but forgot which floor he was on! I ended up walking up and down the stairs between eight floors, before finally finding him. Oh well, I have a new ambition to start walking a mile a day.
I'm now rehearsing Die Fledermaus with the Toronto City Opera. We did it about fifteen years ago at a time when I was playing the computer game Farmville, so this music reminds me a bit of that game.
Yesterday I bought the seeds and plants for our back yard garden. Today I finally mowed the lawn, after a bee-friendly delay while the dandelions are blooming. (We're planting borage again, which the bees also like.)
Now that I've caught up with One Piece, I've started watching Dragonball Z again, this time dubbed.
