What Dogmatix and I had in common this past week

Well- like Dogmatix, in the movie version of "Astérix et Obélix: God save Britannia", I couldn't go to China with my person. Dogmatix didnt go with Obelix to London. But like Asterix and Obelix, we will no doubt hear some of the China adventures in my blogspot.   You see.. my person's grandfather lived in Shanghai for a while in the early 1900's.. and when her very very best friend died, her mom, my person had just landed in Beijing, China. And her hosts were very kind and generous to her during that time.  So, there are strong bonds for my person in China.  I don't think there is a Leonberger in China, but my person did see an English sheep dog in Kunming, Yunnan Province.  Must be one lonely sheepdog! Not many sheep there.. goats and pigs is all I hear about. 

While my person, Anna-Louise (ALR from now on), was in China I had a blast.. with my friends Frank and Felix.  I was reminded of Dr Seuss who once said... "Today was good, today was fun, tomorrow will be another one". I had to do that to stay optimistic, and maybe you can do so too if you feel sad....

This post has no science citation, but a movie recommendation. If you were a kid and adult growing up reading the adventures of Asterix and Obelix, I think you will appreciate the new movie with Gerard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve and others "Astérix et Obélix: Au service de Sa Majesté" or "Astérix et Obélix: God save Britannia".  About friends, Obelix says to Asterix, translated from French,  " You have no right to decide what's good for me".. "you said I am a burden and that you sacrifice everything for me... its a sacrifice if you get nothing in return. But..you do get something in return, you get a friend, me, Obelix".

Talking about friends and Britannia, I may have a new British friend called Jessie (below). Well.. aloof Brit Jessie, will maybe warm to me, even though I am female, I have a bit of a tomboy personality. See ya in Europe Jessie. I am quite a soccer star. I play defense.
