Nina's Blog - Wednesday 24th April 2024

Sitting in the community café having a cup of coffee. Just delivered my car to the body shop. Stopped at the café to break up the long walk to the other side of town.

As soon as I connected to the café WiFi I got two strange messages. The first said that two payments had failed because of a lack of funds. I thought this must be a scam because it was in English but it turns out that the banking app has switched to English, no idea why. But even stranger is that I have over 20 kNOK in the account, over twenty times the failed payments. Weird.

The second message was from Instagram saying my account has been suspended. As usual they don't explain why even if you click the button asking for further explanation.

This will probably be my last day in a skirt until at least next Tuesday, the receptionist at the body shop said that the expected finish time is 'early next week '. :-(

Baguettes are baked, not “assembled.”

@RedBaron This is a café not a bakery. The baguette has to be sliced open, buttered, and filled with ham, cheese, bacon, and salad. That's what [i] assembled [/i] refers to.

@ninalanyon Then your sandwich is being assembled on a baguette.

@RedBaron Two countries separated by a common language, as Churchill once said. I don't know anyone on this side of the Atlantic who would refer to a filled baguette as a sandwich.

@ninalanyon What do you call it? A baguette is essentially bread. Putting other foods inside it makes it a sandwich.

@RedBaron A sandwich in England is a filling between two [i]slices [/i]of bread.

@ninalanyon Then what do you call it when a baguette is sliced and filled.

Six of one thing or a half dozen of another?

@RedBaron The baguette isn't sliced, it's sliced open; not quite the same thing. The definitions of words differ from place to place.

A filled baguette is just a filled baguette.

@ninalanyon As I said, six of one thing or a half dozen of another. 🤷‍♂️
