2022 - Summary of week 2
I'm still reading that Adler book as well as Plats 7A (German original: Flugangst 7A) by Sebastian Fitzek. Also 11/22/63. On Thursday night we played two games of Secrets, then San Juan and finally Monikers. Another group met for a game of Hero Realms and Othello.
IT: Loyal Books + Harry Potter.
NL: Harry Potter. Major annoyance: translated proper names. de Duffelingen, Dirk, Albus Perkamentus, Minerva Anderling, Zweinstein, Hermelien Griffel... (No, Swedish translations of the Lord of the Rings aren't better.)

Same for Italian, I’m getting used to it, but I’m not a fan of the name changes

Re: Jeff's language log
I watched a concert earlier today Sacred Music From Medieval Spain, the musicians used a range of period instruments including bagpipes, harp and flute so there must be the ghost of celtic Iberia in there somewhere
The instruments were played by Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien. Browsing their website shows planned concerts in April with the title "Musique ancienne d’Irlande et d’Écosse", and they have an album with the title "The High Road to Kilkenny: Gaelic songs and dances of the 17th & 18th centuries".

Some of the titles look Irish (and some of them even look familiar). I'll have a listen now. ♪♫

2022 - Summary of week 3
Still reading 11/22/63. On Thursday night we played a game a Mansions of Madness again. Despite picking our investigators wisely for the chosen scenario (Dearly departed) we failed miserably.
IT: Loyal Books + Harry Potter. Aloud. That's why it takes a lot of time to finish it.
NL: Harry Potter. See above.

2022 - Summary of week 5
Time for a very late update. Still reading that Mortimer Adler book. This Thursday night we were a decimated crowd. Our host was on holiday. We played one session of Terraforming Mars. Some similarities with Dune: Imperium which we played a few months ago.
IT: Loyal Books. I have a hunch that Harry Potter e la camera dei segreti will be knocking on the door soon.
NL: Harry Potter. Harry Potter en de geheime kamer.

2022 - Summary of week 6
Catching up a bit. I do language related activities every day even if it can take a week or two before I write a summary.
Another Thursday night without our host. We played Sheriff of Nottingham and then two rounds of Munchkin (the basic set). Both were new games to me.
IT: Loyal Books. Harry Potter.
NL: Harry Potter.

Doing my best to catch up. Language-wise I'm just reading.
Another Thursday night without our host. We played one session of Cards Against Humanity and one round of Spank the Monkey (almost won, but eventually came last). Again, both were new games to me.

2022 - Summary of week 8
Catching up. Reading a lot.
This Thursday night one of the lads and I met up at the local gaming society. There we joined a group and played Dungeon Rush, Dixit and 7 Wonders. All were new to me, and I lost them all. However, earlier that day, I won a game of Hero Realms during a coffee-break at work.
