It's beginning to look a lot like....

 Hello!

To all of you out there who might read this, I wish you a happy and merry Christmas. If that's not possible, I mean, this time of year can be a struggle for so many reasons, I'll just say: I see you, I feel for you, I know how hard it can be. Lower your expectations and take care of yourself. You matter.

I'm looking forward to nice and quiet days with my parents and one of my sisters. Food, board games, TV and just being together. I feel a bit off today, might be having a cold. We'll see how it gets. Hopefully I don't get sick, that would be such bad timing.

Don't have that much to write about today, and I know it's been ages since I last posted something. But I'm still here, and I'll try to be more active 2025.

Now, be well! Eat, sleep, do something you enjoy. For me, a good film can never be wrong.

Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed new year!!!

Seagull nightmare

 Hello!

I was about to write "July is here", but that would be a bit premature. Still June, which is absolutely fine by me. Summer goes by too fast anyway, so why not slow down a bit.

How do you feel about seagulls? Their sound can be kind of nice during a day by the sea. Early in the morning for the 45th day in a row, not so much. I can hear them now outside the window, crying and screaming, relentlessly. I know it's because of their offspring, they are being protective. But why here in the centre of a town far from the sea? Pack up your bird shit and leave! It feels like I hear them day and night. My sleep is severely disturbed. My mood as well.

Well, what can you do. Buy some kind of a gun and finish them off? Hahaha! 

That was a joke, okay? Tomorrow morning I'll wake up, not from the seagulls yelping, but someone banging on the door screaming bloody murder and don't touch the seagulls. They've got rights you know.

Sorry, I love animals, but I also love my sleep. It's essential for my well-being, but to be honest, it's also a survival thing. Please dear seagulls, let me live!

Where do we go from here?

I'm visiting my grandmother this afternoon. Going there with my parents. She lives in a seagull-free zone. Thank God. 

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can bring myself to think of something else. So I'm gonna let you go now. I wish you all a lovely day without seagulls!

Take care!
