  1. There was this Greek restaurant we always used to go to when I was little. It was called Dionysos. We were there so often they knew us. My parents were very anti-children's menu, so I always got half portions of things from the proper menu. I usually had souvlaki. I also adored Kalamata olives (still do) when I was 4. I was an unusual child, food-wise. I'm so glad!
  2. There is something here to which I am not savvy...
  3. My godmother is Greek. And my mum loves all of the food from all of the countries. I grew up with a lot of foreign foods... And I love baklava.

    You'll just have to read on to find out.
  5. We watched The Expanse. Super romantic, lol! As for pizza... Come at me bro! Oh, I haven't had baklava in such a long time!!
  6. We had some sun today, too. Now it's dark, though. Nearly half past 7.
  7. Ooh, sounds so tasty! We have cake, too, but it's just a regular chocolate cake. Bought in a shop. Haven't heard and blackbirds here yet... If the thaw continues I expect we'll get them soonish, though they normally don't really come out until around March here. Ooh, also tasty! We had thai chicken pizza. With pineapple and peanuts. Really special and tasty.

    Thank you!
  9. My granddad passed away last year, a couple of weeks after his 90th birthday. He'd been in hospital for a long time, it was his time. Still broke my heart, though.
  10. I know that feeling. I feel similarly around my dad's birthday, really.
  11. Not too bad today. This has been anxiety week, but things are improving.
  12. Glad you think so! Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
  13. I had a budgie when I was a kid. He was called Pippin. After Pippin the Short (who is, in Norwegian, called Pippin the Little; my dad named him, ultimate dad joke). He lived for a fairly long time. He was already pretty old when we got him, around 1991 or so, estimated over 10 years old, and he didn't die until 1999. He was so beautiful. Yellow head, wonderfully shiny turquoise chest. My granddad taught me the songs of all the birds of the forest. He knew everything.
  14. Hi, Gary! Hope you're well.
  15. Not too bad. Boyfriend and I are both too lazy to cook, so we've ordered a pizza.
  16. I used to go to this coffee shop at the university library. Since I wasn't a student I didn't have Internet access there, so there were fewer distractions, lol! Wrote a fair bit of Nemesis 2 there. Sleep tight!
  17. The best and most valid of reasons. Hope you get loads done!
  18. If it were a blackbird it would have a melodious song. It's why The Beatles wrote about one. I'm a bird nerd, lol! (PS: The common European black bird is a completely different species from the American one and is, in fact, a type of thrush.) Hi, Caz!
  19. Partly overcast. Melting snow. It'll get cold again next week, but no precipitation, so with any luck it won't get slippery...
  20. Talked to my shrink about this Monday. My diagnosis is chronic. You don't just get over it. You can try to live as normal a life as you can manage, but even with the meds it's gonna be more of a challenge than it is for other people. Something we have to accept and try to live with, and make the best of it that we can. And for what it's worth, I'm really glad you're here, tim. Hang in there, and have a good day.
