Hello, everyone!
How are you?
I've been ill for a week. I am still not exactly well but definitely better than on the weekend. Some people have covid, some have something else.
Even our cat Lisa had a cold. She was treated with antibiotics and now she is well again. The vet told me to keep her inside until the snot is gone. It was very cold and wet outside, so she only complained for a little while, because I opened the door for the other two but she had to stay inside, poor kitty. The others were nice and brought a lot of winter birds inside. I managed to safe only one. The others were either already dead or dying. The one I saved managed to escape and flew around in the kitchen dropping shit everywhere. Yay. It took me almost an hour to catch the bird. But I managed to bring it outside and it flew away.

There are a lot of these here. We also feed them sunflower seeds during winter time. I try to hang the feeders where cats can't reach them.
Yesterday, there was a woodpecker on the half dead apple tree again.
I have finished the Sandman Slim books. They were a great read, if you are not feeling touchy about Christian beliefs. Sometimes they felt a bit like Dresden going Deadpool starring in Mad Max. The last one was not that good plotwise, but it still left the opportunity to continue in the end. And I have read somewhere that the author is currently writing the next book.
The first one read a bit like just one guy wanting revenge and I wasn't sure if I wanted to read more in this style. But there was some promise of character development and interesting world building that kept me reading and I wasn't disappointed. I read all 12 books without pause.
Norwegian feels like a mix of German and English so far. But I think understanding spoken words is more difficult, because of the pronunciation and because they tend to swallow the ends of words which makes them almost sound like another different word, if you know what I mean.
But I like the sound of the language.
Dina:
Regen! I've missed you so much.
I am sorry you were ill and I am glad you are feeling better. Hope you get super well soon.
Those birds are lovely! I am glad you could save one, sorry it left you so many "gifts". You are a good person for spending so much time to save one. I am sad for the other ones, but Nature is hard. And it is good that Lisa is better too. I imagine with Winter coming the kittens will rather stay at home.
Hubby told me about your exploits in Duo, so congratulations! And I think what you said about Norwegian makes a lot of sense. I once saw a video about oral Norwegian, and oh my God. That reminds me I've been watching a couple of videos about the Korean alphabet, which is, by design, super easy to learn. It is a very interesting story. Korean used Chinese characters, but the grammar was different, so it was super complicated. And only a few people could read. But then, a Korean king decided to create a new alphabet that everyone could learn super fast.

Hello Weird, and the forum at large. As a long time lurker, I just wanted to say thanks for always being here over the years. I'm delving back into the DF and refreshing myself on everything, so maybe I'll be around. Even if not, I look forward to talking about 12 months with all of you.
Dina:
Awww, that is so sweet! Thank you BugBear. We are so looking forward to 12 months! 89% done. It would be great if you share the waiting and the wonderful time of the first reading with us.
