Have watched a bit of Australian TV series, and a couple of great movies. Back in 1987 I was hooked on the war series ANZACs, featuring Paul Hogan. There’s also a couple of Australian YouTubers I follow.
Here we have very distinct regional/ethnic accents. Boston Irish sound different from Boston Italian, and both sound different from their counterparts in NY or Chicago.
I used to be somewhat self-conscious of my Boston accent, until my wife told me that she only notices it when I am angry or excited. In the DC area, I get asked if I’m from NY a lot, which to a native Bostonian are fighting words.
Businesses picked up BIG TIME over the weekend. We are only allowed 25% capacity here in Pittsburgh so aaalllllll the takeout. I was cooking by myself up until last week, after we reopened for the 2nd time. We were exposed in both our open locations so we did a voluntary 2 week shutdown the second time.
First time lifting in a couple weeks, been nursing bum shoulder. Feels great to be in here mentally, physically I have a long way to go with the shoulder i think. Slow and steady, I’ll be going out for hernia surgery soon so it’ll get to heal up more then.
