The same day...again!
It would be nice if you could correct my text, and write things in a better way when needed ( because I am sure that my ideas would be written differently by an English person); Thank you.
A few days ago, I called my friend Jayne. I had not talked to her for a long time, so, because of the lockdown, I asked her what she was doing during this weird period when each one has to stay at home.
Her answer took me aback: " I feel like being in the groundhog day".
I did not understand, so I said: " what do you mean, I don't know the word groundhog".
And she explained me that, as nobody was allowed to go out, because of the pandemic, her life was the same day after day, like what happened at the main character in the film " Groundhog day". I had never heard of that film, so later I had a look at the trailer. It seemed to me that the movie might be interesting, so I watched it last night.
The film was released in 1993, and the two main characters are Bill Murray and Andie Macdowell. This film is quite funny, at the beginning you do not really understand why each day Phil is awaken at the same time by the same music, but......it is also a love story, and if you cry laughing, you will also be filled with emotion, thanks to the cunning storyline...
If my text triggers a desire (makes you want) to watch this film, you can find it in french, on Dailymotion.

Mi segundo texto en español
Hoy llovió toda la mañana, pero esta tarde estaba soleado. Entonces decidí ir a caminar. Fui a visitar a mi madre que vive apenas tres kilómetros de mi casa. Cuando regresé a mi casa, era tarde y estaba casi oscuro. Estoy feliz porque hoy hice un poco de ejercicio. Mañana no podré caminar porque llovera todo el día y habrá mucho viento. A las noticias dijeron que habrá una tormenta.

what means " couldn't have defeated"
I am starting to read a novel called "Fatherland", it was written by Robert Harris. In the frst pages I came across a sentence that I don't really understand.
- Here the sentence :" Assuming that Germany couldn't have defeated the United States militarily, the world would presumably have settled into a prolonged cold war"
- Does it mean that Germany lost or won the war? Thank you for your explanations.

My godson’s birthday
On saturday night we were invited at my nephew’s birthday party. My sister in law had invited about fifteen people; my son who is learning to drive, took us to my nephew’s house. When we got there, the other guests had not arrived yet but they turn up only a few minutes later. The boy who celebrated his birthday is called Sullivan and I am his godfather . Sullivan’s godmother was invited too, as well as Sullivan’s two grandmothers. Both his grandfathers are dead. My brother’s house is quite large, so it was not a problem to be / being fifteen people in the dining room; I guess that the room could welcome nearly up to thirty people. We had a very good meal and drank good wine. At the end of the diner, some presents were offered to Sullivan. He got, among other things, some money, a bracelet and a crate of good beers. On our way back to home, we dropped off my mother. We got in at nearly two in the morning.
On Sunday afternoon, I chatted on Whatsapp with my oldest son who is now in Frankfurt. He told me that it was very cold there. Usually he goes to work by foot / he walks to work, but because of the bad weather some mornings, he sometimes commutes by underground. He does not always buy a ticket, because, from his point of view it is too expensive, so he has to play cat and mouse with the ticket inspector when he glimpses him.

The story of Agafia (part 2)
In 1978 the family was discovered by a group of geologists who were exploring over the region in an helicopter. They first spotted patches of land in the middle of the forest, and they were very surprised because they thought that nobody could live in that region. The first meeting and communicaton was not easy because the language they talked was slightly different from the russian language.
In 1980, the Russian government offered Agafia a tour to discover the country. For the first time she saw cars, roads, towns, and everything about the modern life, but she did not like it; so she chose to return where she had grown up, a peaceful place, away from the pollution of the large cities.
In 1981, one of the geologist settled down in the Taiga and became Agafia’s neighbour. Sometimes he helped her , but most of the time she managed to do everything by herself.
Agafia's days are always busy, because hard work is something important and mandatory for Old believers. She fishes in the river, cuts the wood for the fire, grows her vegetables, mainly potatoes, but also onions, peas, carrots and turnips, she prepares her meals and she also spends four or five hours every day to pray...

The story of Agafia
In order to avoid persecution, the Lykov family ran away to the deep Siberian wilderness in 1937. They belonged to a branch of the Orthodox church called : The old believers. If they had not fled, they could have been killed because of their beliefs. They settled in a very remote place, by the side of a river in the forest, in a cold and unwelcoming place where the temperature can reach minus 40 in winter. Agafia, the youngest daughter was born in 1943, she had 2 older brothers and one sister, but now she is the only one still alive.
The family managed labouriously to survive on its own. They were self-sufficient, but they did not always eat their fill when crops were bad. The mother even died of starvation in 1961...
