Blogger grandma & more

Well, I won't translate my posts word for word, but I can tell you that this week's highlights on Disentangling the Web, Romanian version, are:

1. the 95 year-old blogger from Spain. She says she received her blog as a birthday present from a stingy grandson [lol!] and has been dictating her posts to him ever since. I imagine her grandson must be 30-something if she's 95, and rather than being stingy, I think he was actually very smart. The blog is very nice because of her way of telling the stories; I haven't read it all, just parts of stories from her childhood and youth in Corcubion and she has a very tender modern-yet-old-lady tone. I've been to a Medieval Fair in Corcubion some 4 years ago and I have very good memories of the place and the people. And I love Galicia, so I'm biased.

2. my participation in the RoBlogFest contest. You can vote for me here! [voting page in Romanian] You will find my blog under 3 categories: Best Blog [Disentangling the web]; Best personal blog [Chrismilla] and Best blog post [Disentangling the web]

3. ... well, I've recently started to develop a very special relationship with a miss Histamine, who's confused enough to give me an allergy to cold when I least expect it. Cold urticaria it's called, and apparently it can also be caused by underlying health problems, such as liver or kidney problems; abuse of aspirins or antibiotics or an allergic reaction to anti-flu vaccines. I don't know the causes of my urticaria; it looks quite ugly and comes out on my face, hands, neck and basically any part of my body that's exposed to cold water/ cold air or wind (even if it's a sunny day). I've been keeping it under control lately with heartsease or Viola tricolor pills. In Romanian this plant is called "Three spotted brothers" for some reason, and Mihai says they're spotted because they take upon themselves all the allergies of the world :-)))

I'm planning to go to the doctor soon, for a full check-up, just in case.
