Mythos. The Greek myths retold, Stephen Fry (ISBN 978-1 405 934138, Penguin)
Started reading this book during the summer holidays after a tip from friends. When i was at school classical studies were out of vogue and my knowledge of Greek history and mythology is ‘somewhat poor’. So for me this book was definitely educational.

Ter Helme 2021
Dit jaar de tweede covid editie van de vakantie in Ter Helme. Vorig jaar waren in juli de cijfers nog relatief ok, nu zitten we alweer in een stijgende lijn en is de delta variant stilaan de dominante. Het Europees kampioenschap voetbal zal het virus zeker deugd gedaan hebben maar daar heb ik nog geen…

Covid-19 vaccinatie
Deze voormiddag mijn tweede spuit met Pfizer vaccin gekregen. Temidden stijgende cijfers en de oprukkende delta variant zeker niet te vroeg. Joke heeft haar tweede spuit komende woensdag en vrijdag kan Hannelore voor de eerste gaan.
