Actually, not a lot! There wasn’t much going on this week. John took Friday off, so we’ve had a nice three-day weekend piddling around the house. Last Sunday we went to the EU ambassador’s house to watch the World Cup finals — I was glad to see Spain win.
John and I watched “Song Sung Blue” and finished “Ponies.” We’ve started a new British crime show called “Gone” that we like so far. We laughed and laughed at “The Dink,” a silly movie about pickle ball (maybe we’ll try it when we’re back in America!).
I sat in on an estate planning webinar and another one on Google Photos, trying to learn a bit here and there. I’m reading a good book called “Arctic Passages: Ice, Exploration, and the Battle for Power at the Top of the World” by Kieran Mulvaney. It’s an interesting history of trying to find shipping routes via the Northwest and Northeast Passages, plus an overview of the current geopolitical interests in the region since climate change is melting the ice and opening more possibilities for trans polar shipping.
