Ice again, and lost in translation or just making things up…

Tobi has several problems with recent and most recent events. First of all he is angry with Jen, my wife who is apparently catching us out with making things historically inappropriate. I tried to defend myself that in Hungarian things are different but unfortunately in a different way so I came to admit that I was wrong. And that hurts.
Tobi.
I am occasionally used to it. On the rare occasion I will take it. Rarely.
The Holy Roman Empire although existed, it wasn’t the late Roman Empire as I remembered. It was a long time ago and my memory goes blurry going thousands of years back. The HRM existed after the fall of the RM and was mostly a German empire with the Pope. Vandals by then have integrated into the new feudalist system. In fact, they may have, their descendants were part of that HRM and thus their people provided the Pope with some sorely needed soldiers.

What a turn of events. A hint of irony.
Just like a Democrat winning the white house after 8 years of Republican rule. Less irony, more nature of democracy and taking turns and stuff like that.

Or is the fuss not about that?… I’m getting some gentle nods. Probably not. Anyway, stay out of politics is my motto and I return to contemplate crossing the road where a traffic light is or how to smile at northerners without scaring them…

After all this ranting and gentle reminder that even I have a publisher I must please and correct such historical inconsistencies like the HRM it is time now to start writing about some more worldly affairs. Such us the election, which I will skip.
Then there is that research that has been published recently, a couple of days back actually that links human activity to the melting of arctic and Antarctic ice. When saying Links I mean it does. Hard fact so that’s us knowing it but I feel they had some real bed timing with the publishing don’t you think so?
There is the other recent news, also a couple of days old that Russia is moving missiles, nukes into the Baltic region. Got to give it to them, their timing is pretty good.

Tobi is bored. I don’t blame him. Ever since, which was very recently, I have read somewhere that I occasionally slip in some politics I just get carried away. Tobi is bored, still.

Ok, it’s time, but I am trying to avoid it because I feel for him a bit and I am concerned that he might feels a bit embarrassed. What happened this morning you know has left some marks on me. Not physical fortunately but still. I never heard a dragon use such language…
… even now I can hardly find words although… I keep trying.

What I have been listening to cycling to work is something that the print couldn’t carry. He can swear! Eventually we agreed that he will go on another shopping trip over the weekend. Of course he will have to get over to his uncle, Bob first in Vietnam to give him some money than probably to Paris although I hope that I managed to convince him that he would be better of with Kashmir and from what he picked up there somewhere north in Canada or the like. He is gonna go on some clothes shopping again. His nice designer fashion scarves and hats in the minus 7 don’t seem to work so much to his advantage. A bit of a shame but at least he agreed to wait. Over the weekend I will be away anyway with a bunch of prisoners in a cottage. It sounds bad and he is scared to come.

Of course Tobi has seen this cold before… once or twice. When he came to live with us first it wasn’t much warmer but I guess it’s the principle. Then it was the end of the winter, the very same thing that is approaching now and we are just simply scared of it somehow. He is just a bit into drama I think.

Tomorrow will be a sad day for us all. I finish working in the five story office block and thus we will have no more free pulla and biscuit coming home with me. To cheer up on the way home we will drop by at Lili’s day care where we will be celebrating Father’s Day or something like that with eating - free - sausages
