Hello, all. It seems that my battle with physics is over and I am back for a reboot of my responsibilities. Germane is on the mend so we are hoping for no more surprises.

Thank you for your good wishes, helia: physics restored to normal operational parameters.

kitkat, do you have the air quality warning that we do? I'm afraid that fire season is here.

Thank you for starting us off, Kittykatt. I think of Wagner as opera for the more serious enthusiasts, so I have tended to stick to Mozart, Delibes, etc, as a dilettante. Enjoy church!

Welcome back, trissie! I think that I would be overwhelmed by the in-your-face culture that you met with in Turkiye too. It sounds like you found a gem in Romania that is not so well known as to be overrun yet.
I expect that you will enjoy the quiet of your cottage this coming week.

L.Ann, your DD33 is certainly organized, preparing her birthday list already. I have a lot of sympathy for people whose birthday is around Christmas, but your DD33 is prepared!

helia, it sounds like you travelled to Turkiye with the right person. The vendors were probably more comfortable accepting a no from a man.

Dogged, we had been vacationing in Bulgaria, not Romania! Though it's probably about as different to non-Europeans as maybe Wisconsin and Michigan (or Alberta and Saskatchewan - and I have to admit I had to look those up on the map, as I wasn't sure whether they had common borders). Bulgaria is known for its beaches and Romania is known for its mountain tracks - and because there are more tourists interested in beaches than mountain tracks, there's more tourists, more money and more "civilization" in Bulgaria. Romania is picking up, though. I did look at some trips in Romania, though, and the Count Dracula tours do sound interesting!
L.Ann, that sounds quite frankly more Turkish and more delicious than the dinners at the all-inclusive resort!

Ah, trissie, keeping track of younger kids in a foreign country makes for a very different experience. We went to Turkey with 5 "kids", our own kids + 2 of dd30 now's friends, but all were in university at the time except for current dd28. I've never been to Bulgaria or Romania so both sound interesting to me!! Dh has been to Romania (before the iron curtain fell) but I don't know about Bulgaria. WTG on all the laundry!
Glad that the laws of physics are now cooperating, Doggedly. Glad Germane is feeling better too.
It's nice to hear that someone is having a quiet Sunday, L Ann. I think Sundays should be quiet days.

Back from church and having lunch. I hope to go to the gym to master the stair master in a bit. Then, I'll work on payroll stuff before heading out the door again at 3:15. At that point on, my day is scheduled for me until about 9 pm-ish. I need to get a handle on things that need to be done before I head in to payroll tomorrow.
