That would be a shame. Unfortunately I'm hors de combat at
the moment; Mrs S and I have both tested positive for Covid
and the symptoms are coming through. I'm spending most of

With my luck there probably aren't any events where they give out medals
for excuses. And I already have my bright yellow pants. And a red cap...

Probably.
I was on the board of the home-owners association for my old flat for a
couple of years;
I settled two "estates" (such as they were);
I spent time on and of over a couple of years renting holiday-homes
around the country and looking at houses in those places;
I moved to a tiny village (well, five houses in a row and to
discontinued farms) in the south.
I sometimes mow the lawn and prune various bushes and trees;
I feed the birds during winter, though not last year 'cause I forgot to
buy seed before they were sold out.
But what I did in between that I couldn't tell you...

Not much risk of that here. There's still 10km to the nearest town of
any size and that's not growing either. It's mostly farmland around here
(with the requisite mice invasions at harvest time) with a mess of
vacation homes across on the east coast. But I am just 15km and a ferry
ride from a german mega-mall.

Dunno. I was reading some of the posts from back when on the gooogle and
figured someone - somewhere - might still be checking the froups once in

Good to hear you're doing better and I trust it goes for the missus as

Anyway you're in decent company: the danish queen just got out of
isolation a few days ago - after her second time at testing positive.

Anyway: my last test was clear and the symptoms have abated

That would be "Krak". It's a private company collating puplic records.
The flowers thing is an ad for a florists chain. Krak is mostly a
web-site now but back in the day they gave away phone books/maps for
local areas, all paid for by the entries in the commercial section.

Only butter is very high on saturated fats, and salt is bad for high

Yes, you need some salt, but too much salt is also bad. Salt is not
exactly unique in that respect.
Here table salt is by law required to have an amount of iodine added.
Don't know the rationale, but I know iodine is supposed to prevent
thyroid cancer (one of the few things I remember from ABC training).

IIRC Iodine is essential to some developmental processes, as witness
the Salamander which will remain in its immature, pre-metamorphosis
change to the adult state if deprived of Iodine. Remarkably,
Salamanders can even reproduce in the immature state. DAMHIK.

Excuse me! I just bought a box of salt (coarse but still "food-salt").
It contains : Salt, iodine 20mg/kg, and anti-caking agent E535[1] max.
20mg/kg. No sugar. That would be so weird. Or american...

This, combined with all the normal, healthy things you may or may not be
able to eat, I might begin to suspect that you might be an alien. Much
is unknown about alien digestive systems...

[Hmmm. They each have a number of errors - but remarkably never the

DeepL: "They plan each other's deaths." vs.

'plan' is the literal translation, though 'plot' is probably better in

I'm more offended that there isn't an industry standard for emojis -
it's anarchy I tell you; pure anarchy.

I see. You should maybe start cataloguing your feelings as I identify
them for you. That way you will have some reference material for
describing how you feel upon my inevitable demise.

A: an eggplant emoji is not an eggplant
2: a banana doesn't look very much like an eggplant, really. For one
thing it isn't horribly swollen on one end. And also it's yellow...
