...there is no way to save them, as soon as this particular rose starts to bloom, the flowers are eaten by these strange insects. 😔

I'm tired.
And I'm definitely not having a good day, despite a lot of things going better than I was expecting.

The main reason, I think, is the completely illogical behavior of people here.
Either my emotions are completely messed or they are stupid.
Maybe both.
Probably both.

Oh look... it's raining.
This morning I have to go down to the city because I have an appointment to do all the paperwork to sell my scooter.
I'd rather stay at home.

Pope Francis apologises "to those who were 'hurt by the use of a word'".

Do you know that first commandment that says "thou shalt not mention the name of God" etc...etc...?
You see? Even God is a bit of a touchy guy who gets angry if you use a word.
Now I suppose I get to swear his name freely and then apologize because I didn't know he was sooo touchy.

Guess what? It's raining. 🌧️⛈️🌧️
And to think that in the last two days it almost seemed like it was May...
never mind, let's go back to November. Again.

I was looking for information on this plant that grows everywhere in the garden and is a bit annoying...

...then I came across the name "sock destroyer"

I'm still giggling. 🤭

In my letterbox there is an election advertisement that says "Berlusconi for president".

He.
Is.
Dead.
Dead.
For fuck sake.

Fava beans and cavolo nero.

End.

P.s.
From the garden.

I believe today's lesson coming out of the "search engines/Bing" mess is that the internet comes with two choices

• the "easy" internet, where everything is friendly and nice, but you have to rely on some big-tech company.
• the "old" internet, that's the internet of the people, who choose to try to understand how it works and make really informed choices.

My shiny new ArchLinux system!
It's useful, it's pretty, it works smoothly with all the stuff I need.
I learned a lot in the process and remembered things I completely forgot I knew. That's nice.
There is an internet connection, some layers of security, printer, scanner, games, nice themes...
I'm wondering if there is something I still have to configure/install...I guess I will know when I'll stumble upon it.
For now I declare "Past" (short for "Pastrugnolo") alive and running!

I had a birthday present! XD
...and if you think I didn't like it, think again.
I love it, it's extremely useful and it definitely makes my work in the garden easier! 🤩

btw...how do you call it in English?
the translator says either "grass trimmer" or "brush cutter" is that correct? 🤔

Here we are, I'm 50!

Happy birthday to me! 😅

...and to all those who have a birthday today, which... actually means...a lot of people?
I had never thought about it, it's basically a big happy party all around the world!
😄🎂🎉🥳

now...about print and scan.

I've been avoiding this particular mess, I know.

...

For starters, there is absolutely nothing installed.

It's raining.
Again.

Maybe all the rain that has been missing for the last 4 years has simply decided that this is the best time to show up.

"Through 20 years of effort, we have successfully trained everyone to use password that are hard for humans to remember and easy for computer to guess." 👀

Sorry, it's a bit long and there is no alt text. :/
Ultimately it suggests choosing as a password 4 random common words that you can remember easily but that don't really make sense together.

There was a roe deer drinking at the small stream in a nearby village, the poor deer was not exactly happy about the sudden presence of a human with a phone...

A roe deer (maybe) caught drinking near a very small stream that flows between old houses and village walls, on the hills. Unfortunately scared from the human presence the deer runs away in great leaps.

"I have a book."
It's...sort of my standard answer for everything.
"How did you learn to..."
"How do you know what..."
"I have a book"

Books are extraordinary.
You only have to be able to read them and you can learn basically everything.
It's amazing.
They don't judge you, they don't make you feel stupid, they are very patient and understanding and they support you, always.
So when you want to understand or to learn something new you just have to find a book or two. Maybe more.
That's it.
