"no, we are the GP practice where you have been trying to register for a week but we cannot help you. you need to go to the doctor that we have on file for you as being your doctor: the GP you saw when you were 12 and where you were deregistered 20 years ago"

Lunch is such a drudge. Yes lunch food can absolutely be super tasty, but the everyday standard lunch is such a slog. I never feel like stopping what I am doing, eating, never have the energy for making something, and the food never tastes good, it is merely sustenance so I do not crash. Blergh

Je kan "moe" veel beter op een erg vermoeide manier zeggen dan dat je "tired" of "fatigué" zegt.
"Trött" is niet zo goed als moe maar wel beter dan de anderen.

Just came across someone painting match stick boxes pink and giving that to all her friends, and someone glueing 4 metal rods on top of each other to "make a snowflake" and give that to family.
It is fun to craft, just craft for yourself.

I am on homemade Christmas gift Tiktok* and well, a lot of people are gonna be disappointed this year when they open their gifts.
The outcome of the first time you try a craft should not be gifted
*Not people who have an actual hobby and make things for others, that is completely different

The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages.
The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

Israel, which has obliterated most of Palestine’s archeological and heritage sites, including ancient churches, mosques, and temples, has suddenly discovered an urge to protect one from Palestinian ‘neglect’. It just so happens to be in the West Bank.
