I posted a few things over the past days, and some people noticed that I have been more absent than usual. I think it is right to give an update on the situation.

Starting in mid-December, my wife came down with the flu. Nothing serious, but it left her with a problem that all the doctors we consulted have identified as long flu. Similar to long COVID, it is a debilitating condition, at times completely disabling. She started a treatment, but had some issues and had to change it. This treatment, however, makes the symptoms worse for a few weeks before improving them, and the result is that we are currently in that phase: she is not well, she is worried, and of course I am too.

This has given me time, over the past weeks, to focus on projects like MastoBlaster, also to keep my mind active on something different, something good for my spirit and mental well-being.

But in these days, probably the hardest in years, I am in "emergencies only" mode, or almost. No tiramisu, few outings, some good lasagna - but mostly concern and hope for a return to normality. The doctors told her that in her case it is a temporary condition, but it is not clear exactly how long it will last, which is why there is a treatment, to help her live normally while everything gradually returns to normal. In the meantime, I am the solid part, but clearly I also have to take care of everything she usually handles.

Life is more often uphill than downhill, so we need to make the most of the good moments and not focus on trivial things. This is why I have always tried to make this place a positive and peaceful one: we all have battles to fight, serious or less serious problems, happiness and despair. Here, at least, we can focus on what you enjoy.

So I leave you with two coffees, made with my mother’s moka pot, which remind me of a peaceful day in this period when the sky outside and the climate inside are the same color: gray.

@MostlyHarmless "This is fine..."

@peterkotrcka yes, there's a logic. But there are also local variations, so people tend to make mistakes. For example: "siete andati via?" is the correct form. But my grandmother (and many people from her hometown) used to say "siete andato via?" - which is wrong. But it comes from the dialectal, local form, which didn't make any difference between the singular "sei andato" and plural "siete andati" so they used to "translate" a mix.

@peterkotrcka Many Italians make mistakes with them, so don't feel too worried 🙂

@peterkotrcka I love Venezia, but I have some incredible memories in Mestre. Don't ask me more about them 😉

@superuserdo @mastoblaster thank you!

@EnigmaRotor great!
