Covid is really good at evading the immune system and getting better with every variant.

I use Mixa 10 in one repair balsam. It's a bit goopy initially but then it leaves everything lovely and soft.

Moderna gave me a massively swollen arm for a week three years ago. Don't know if it was the Covid variant or Moderna. I've only had Pfizer since then. I wonder what it will be this year, the German government defunded the institute that was developing the vaccine.

In Europe they're not vaccinating every 6 months. They've got their heads in the sand and completely ignore scientific evidence.

It won't have given you adequate coverage. Covid changes constantly. Even having the current Covid variant doesn't cover you 100 percent against getting the same variant again. And if you become immune, immunity against the current variant only lasts up to 9 months. Meanwhile, you will likely have ended up with some brain damage, perhaps a touch of myocarditis, microvascular problems, blood clots... and you'll probably catch the next variant too.

Get vaccinated.

De Flix treinen in Duitsland zijn oncomfortabel en altijd verschrikkelijk te laat omdat alle andere treinen voorrang hebben.

Towers like this still exist in places like San Gimignano.

Nah, they just used them to show off. My tower is bigger than yours.

Nah. Millions of people protesting didn't stop Brexit. Millions of people protesting didn't stop Tory cuts. A few thousand people protesting in separate towns is going to achieve squat. Trump is already making fun of it.

When you look at parties, progressive ones are less likely to compromise with other progressive parties while conservative parties are happy to hate everyone together.

Ridiculously soapy period drama with a huge amount of money thrown at it for costumes and locations. See Sissi and Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

Volgens mij spreekt Wiersma Luwaddes of zo. Nederlands met een Friese draai.

Correcties is korreksjes in het Fries, bijvoorbeeld.

For someone interested in journalism it's odd you don't know about the Bylines network.

Menopause.

So you want them to install a potentially dodgy app like Signal or WhatsApp to send the odd message?

I'm eating like those bears in Alaska. Although tbh, I don't particularly need to.

In Germany the trick is joining a Verein (club). Instant social circle.

Erasmus and no. Turns out all three countries I've lived in take away your pension when you've not lived there for a while.

Shit teacher. I had a good teacher one year and it turned out I wasn't actually bad at maths.

This is only done when there's an unexpected frost in spring or summer when the poly tunnels have been taken away.
