FearfulSymmetry: The minute I posted that message I got an e-mail saying that they were initializing the return procedure. :P These people are on top of their game! I'm pleased. :)

I'm okay. I'm a bit tired and it's a gloomy, rainy day, but I'm drinking a nice mug of tea now which is chereing me up. Now I just need to get started on that essay. :P
That's good news :)
I see - weather is similar here (basically the usual weather :P)
Uh yeah writing an essay is always a great fun......:P

ddickinson: That is good, and sorry to hear the book is out of print. I hope the scans will be good enough for you to do the work. I used to hate trying to get old of books while at university, they always seemed to pick hard to get ones, or ones that cost a fortune.

What is the essay on, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you. I want to be back at work to be honest. I really hate been cooped up at home all day. The one great part about being ill is that I get to spend the mornings with my wife and wake up with her, rather than be out early. But I do miss work. I have visited my partners and the farm a few times while I have been ill, but I miss the animals and my work and things. :-(

A cherry? I can beat that. *thinks of something better than a cherry* I know!

*big super mega awesome fantastic wonderful hugh with three cherries on top* :-)
Yeah, the sad thing is that my professor actually tried to prevent stuff like this by setting a different version of the book, but the university administration screwed up and put the old one on the booklist ... I'm just glad I can get a refund, because this book is useless for my purposes.

Medieval travel literature. Specifically, how human are the monsters that are described within these stories? You wouldn't believe some of the things these medieval writers made up ... Things like people with huge ears who wrap their ears around themselves to keep warm ... or 'sciopodes', people with one huge leg and foot that they use to shield themselves from the sun. Meanwhile Blemmyes are creatures without heads who instead have their faces on their chests.

Yep, you are a very active person and being cooped up is not fun at all. I bet the animals (and of course the people at the farm as well) really miss you too. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed you'll be well enough to at least get out a bit and do some light work soon.

Hmmmmmmmm .... *prepares super special hug with three cherries on top and half a dozen strawberries*

Yep, it started raining when I was like two minutes away from home and I managed to get completely drenched within that period. :P Autumn is definitely back! Not too happy about that ...

Yeah, it is, isn't it? xD Especially when other things are so much more tempting ...

Oh sounds pretty familiar :P
Yes the autumn arrived quite fast after all...and temperatures really dropped a lot within days....

Exactly :P

FearfulSymmetry: Ha! I'm probably allowed to return my illegal and useless book and get a refund! :D

*big hugs for everyone around*

ElTerprise: Hey that's great *big hug* :D

superstande: Guten Tag! :)
Nice to know. Also thanks for the date... Wow it really has been 5 years and more since In Cold Blood's release!
Doing fine. It's my 7th week without beer, and I feel healthy! But I was drinking rather a lot, so no wonder! :)
avatar
ElTerprise: :D
You're welcome. And glad to hear that. How do you manage that - although i don't drink that much i think i couldn't keep that up for that period of time ;)
Well it helps to have a better half who almost never drinks ;) She was getting annoyed at me coming home late during the summer. So I thought it best to take her advice on this... but It's not that I don't miss beer... I'm going to get a few again when the time is right :)

Well i can imagine that. Still kudos....for staying strong :)

Thanks!
Also I'm trying new things in life. Been reading this thick buddhist book and trying to practice those things... I must be getting old :)

Well although i never tried those out (not a religious or spiritual person) that might be helpful and i don't think it has anything to do with a certain age :)

Hahaha, while you're on the right track you might give yoga a shot as well. It really works for me. :P

Well you can always try it out. You can get a cheap mat for 10-15 euros and follow along to some Youtube videos to get started. I particulary like Yoga With Adriene. If you like it you can take some classes.

Can't say i'm surprised that there are Youtube channels for yoga :P but that doesn't sound too bad :D

Edit: I forget words o.O....

There are youtube channels for everything. :P I usually follow along to videos at home and go to a yoga class once or twice a week. It's really nice for your muscles and I find that it helps me relax as well. It's great for if you can't sleep.
