Tour de France

Are we in France? does France expand? Why don't all countries expand at once and then belongingness fades away and stops making sense? Why not having overlapping countries and millions of bikes crossing them in all directions?

The Tour de France was also across the street where I live. I just had to go downstairs and there were all cars, bikes and people....and the overlapping countries.

GOOD FOR THE LUNGS

My physiotherapist told me that laughing is good for my lungs (doing some exercises for my lungs at the hospital made me laugh....don’t ask me why). So...why not trying out some comedies?? Comedies should be prescript, together with apples (by the way, why on earth didn’t they give me ANY apple with meals during my 6-day long stay at the hospital????)...an apple a day keeps the doctor away, is said. Anyway. Once at home (still sort of imprisoned for 2 weeks, wearing a mask and not able to go out) I discovered some tv series, among which there were some good comedies. The great discoveries were a couple of sitcoms: The IT crowd (British) and then The Big Bang Theory (American). How great are the characters of Moss (IT crowd) and Sheldon (Big Bang Theory)!...in fact they’re pretty similar...but one deals with computers and the other one with theoretic physics....WAH...how many memorable quotes and situations!!!. Moss-sheldonian formulae for the lungs...a good remedy after the sitcom The Nanny (old one, with Fran Drescher) was removed from TV, with its great dubbing into Catalan language (made the series funnier than the original version, I’d say)
