Daily Chit Chat

Spotted today outside in the garden while having Sunday breakfast in the sunroom : a few small birds at the feeder, a great spotted woodpecker and a magpie chasing each other up and down the pear tree (seemed that woodpecker was trying to crack a walnut and the magpie trying to steal it), a jay, unfazed by all this, burying a nut in the lawn, and a green woodpecker in the apple tree, eyeing the whole scene critically... The only ones that haven’t shown up yet today are the two squirrels from next door—and the neighbor’s cat, either.

It sounds like it was pretty busy! Birds are always fun to watch though, so it's nice that they were there :)

It is fun, definitely, we use to call it our "breakfast TV"

Hi Anya one wanna talk?

I just watched part of a slow-TV show on SVT. It's a puppy cam livestreaming, and the 6 puppies are 4 days old now. The show will follow the puppies until they're 8 weeks old and ready to go to new homes.

AWW ;-;

I never saw that movie. Another slow-tv production that's been done several years now, is The Great Moose Migration, which runs a few weeks each Spring at a place where moose like to cross a river. Mostly just like a window to nature, and schools have found that it makes the classrooms calmer if they've got that show running. I doubt the puppy slow-tv would have the same effect. Well, the classroom might be calmer, but they'd not be focusing on learning anything from the teacher.

It's a great movie!

Naps are so relaxing...

It feels like I did very little today. Had an archive workout session, moving a lot of archive boxes, then had to rest up. Still not recovered 6 hours later, but I did make space for some of the stuff going onto the shelves.

What a good day today. A great day, even. The-forums-are-back day! Didn't like it as much at first, but I'm finding more and more things to love, and my initial impression came more from unfamiliarity.
Another reason for this to be a great day is the fall break start. School's fun, but still...

Guess what, yesterday there was a commend on that show in the morning radio show, saying it got 6.5 million likes already, more than Sweden has inhabitants... Just made me smile.

Last I checked, Sweden had about 10.5 million inhabitants, but 6.5 million likes is more than half the population. I wonder if it counts all the reactions as likes. It's got available in the chat, and I know some seem to go wild with those.

Well, maybe I didn't get it correct or the moderator did a wrong research, whatever... It was worth a commend in a german morning radio show

It's also quite possible they'd read the population for various nordic countries and their memory mixed them up.

Yeah, whatever... but the puppies are known all over Europe now, it seems
