Yes, overseas relative was the story I went with. It also allowed me to justify taking a bunch of photos.

Belgium, also interested :)

Oh I’ve seen those! They also have a weirdly punctuated “IF NOT NOW! WHEN?”

Drawing. It’s seen as a skill reserved for an elite few, but in reality anyone can develop it. I learned it at school from lessons very similar to how Peter Gray teaches it (see this book for example on the Internet Archive).
All you need is a pad of paper, a few pencils and an eraser. And then sketch away, plants, people, landscapes, characters, whatever you want to explore.

My first thought is going for walks around where you live. If there are green spaces along the way that’s even better. You can turn it into kind of a workout where you do longer and longer walks, or the same length but a little faster each time.
It’s a good way to clear your mind, it also never hurts to be active.
At the scene, medics estimate the man to have been dead for several months, or even a year. When questioned, the next door neighbor stated “I had no idea, I just enjoyed the silence, you know?”
We’ll never ever start a phrase with “Certainly…” anymore
Gosu-sama, who makes Minecraft tutorials. These are some of my favorite videos even though there are only like 6 of them.

I’ve heard a lot of opinions about Belgium, but never that it was someone’s favorite place. That’s really nice to hear :)

There’s “Well there’s your problem”. In each episode, the hosts break down an engineering disaster. The episodes are one to several hours long each, and they are thorough, entertaining, and you learn a ton.
There’s also a video version that contains slides with pictures and graphs.
I would suggest as a starter episode 139, The impossible railroad, which I thought was a fun one. Or 146 on the Mount Everest, that was eye-opening. Those are the recent ones that stand out to me.
The night before December 6th, children leaves their shoes on front of the chimney, along with a glass of milk and a carrot for Saint-Nicholas and his donkey (other countries say it’s a horse, but it’s a donkey for us).
Saint-Nicholas leaves a bunch (like, a lot) of candy and toys during the night for children to find when they wake up.
Traditional treats include speculoos, chocolate coins, nuts, clementines and “guimauve” (like marshmallows but a little less soft, in the shape of clogs or religious figures, sometimes chocolate-covered).
Also, on Easter, children will find eggs in their backyard. They are dropped by “the bells”. The story is that the bells of Rome fly across Europe and drop eggs along the way (see this postcard). So when the children are done finding all the eggs, they shout “THANK YOU BELLS”.

Jurassic Park is the only movie I saw where people clapped at the end. And that was during a screening in 2018. There was no reason, no one was there related to the movie, it was just that good.
I have a pendant which is made of a tiny piece of Campo Del Cielo meteorite. It’s several billion years old (4.5 according to wiki).
