Beatus natalis huic blog
Give or take a day, I started this blog fourteen years ago. Seems like it deserves a post. I still continue to think about writing and don’t write. I continue to have thoughts about Richard Armitage and his career and continue not to write them down. This state of affairs continues not to affect Armitage himself in the least, lol. I continue to read a ridiculous amount of Bagginshield (that others continue to write). I continue to be busy with work and the synagogue. My house continues to need cleaning and organization. Politics continues to be depressing … you get the picture. There is a horrible child disappearance case (given what the press is saying about the adults involved, I think we all hope that the child is in heaven now) that is occupying everyone’s last second of attention here.
This is a nice picture (the last one I downloaded, anyway). I did listen to the trailer and Armitage can’t do a consistent Polish accent. Too bad. (Also, frankly, he doesn’t have the thick hands of a farmer. But anyway.)
At the last synagogue event, we featured mocktails, and I would like to recommend this one to you: pomegranate mule. Mix one part pomegranate juice to one part ginger beer of your choice (we used Reed’s strongest), muddle four lime leaves in a glass with some ice, then pour the juice/beer mixture over the ice. Squeeze an eighth of a lime over the whole thing. Delicious and not too sweet.
Actually I had a topic for today planned, but I’ve had health problems the last two weeks that finally landed me in the emergency room yesterday (=acute pulmonary embolism). I might not even have gone, but Obscura gave me the final push. I’ve got three free days of prescribed rest now (along with blood thinners).
In any case, happy anniversary to this blog and happy day to anyone who is still reading it. I appreciate you. It’s hard for me to say more than that.
Well, happy anniversary. And I’m so sorry you had to deal with those health issues. I enjoy RA’s work immensely but I am disheartened by how many times I look for something that is not yet available in Canada. It may get here one day but I am not holding my breath. I still read when you write. I still like it.

Happy Anniversary! A milestone such as this certainly does need a post- I’m remembering all the fun we’ve had and the people who have gathered here, some sadly no longer with us. I think the RA community was so much richer for the bloggers. I’m sorry to hear you are having some health issues and wish you a full and quick recovery. Take care friend and a wave to all.

Merci, cette photographie est très belle.
Merci à Obscura. Servetus, prenez soin de vous ! Les anticoagulants ne sont qu’une première des étapes de la reprise en main de votre santé.

Happy Anniversary. Hard to believe time fly’s so fast. I was not here at the start but found you a couple years after you started to blog. I glad that Obscura got you to go seek medical help. Rest up and follow the doctors orders.

Holy carp, has it been this long? I’m glad you’re still around, Dr. S.

Happy anniversary ! Please take care of yourself and rest !
I was thinking of you the other day because there was an event at the synagogue of Nantes : photos, visits, and a small concert. We went, with my mum and my partner because they didn’t know the pace (I’ve been once yet). A beautiful day.
