There has finally been an announcement from Carlos Ruiz Zafon about the fourth Cemetery of Forgotten Books novel The Labyrinth of the Spirits will be translated and released in 2018. This makes me stupidly happy. It just might be time for a reread of the first three.

Oldest boy is still sleeping, so only my youngest is awake. It is so much easier with just one to focus on, no competition for attention, no squabbles.

Sad to find out we also lost Roger Moore, but here's a nice story about him:

I'm taking the next two days off, and it's finally like summer here in Oslo. By Norwegian standards at any rate.

So I'll be lounging on my new balcony with beer in an ice bucket and a pile of books :wallbash:

...the uniforms are a bone of contention since they feature the Delta insignia. At this point, the Delta was exclusively the Enterprise's logo, and was not taken on by all of Starfleet as the main insignia until after Kirk's 5-year mission...about 15 years from this show.

I'm also bothered by the lack of colour-coded departments. It's one of my favourite things in the Trek universe...and it's in play on Pike's Enterprise in the same timeline of this show (See: The Cage)....so why it's not being used here is baffling.

Just back from a Tarte Flambee restaurant with an all you can eat option. Awesome in a group. We had nearly all kinds :wallbash:

Only disadvantage. You only get a new one you have finished the current one. So one has to do the sacrifice and eat the rest if something is left and no one wants it. I never want to see a Tarte Flambee with Nutella and bananas again ...

In the broadest sense. I guess the Alsatians would get crumpy if call it a pizza :wallbash:

The dough is thinner, no tomato sauce is used, cheese is also not always needed, but creme fraiche in most cases, the topping is fewer, but you can eat a lot more of it and the different tastes can be crazy, especially in the case of the sweet ones. Had one with vanilla ice cream and hot rasperies.

Do they still host that at the Marriott by the airport? Last time I went was probably like 2002...but it was fun.

Hot weather, first game of the new outdoor season tonight, and my hangover was gone by noon.

Many reasons to appreciate life right now.

The 500. Please no Alonzo win.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
