The Return Of The Blogger

 Someone said that with all the stuff happening around social media, people will return to the world of websites and blogging. One can only hope:) What do you think?

She's Seriously Crazy

 Just to cheer all you folks up after the recent events:

My cat has vegetarian inclinations! Here she is eating hummus (what's left of it), lol:


The sponge is lying on the floor, because she stole it, too!

And here is the evidence of another of her crimes, trespassing on my new beautiful table:

You can tell she is a naughty girl...

Will Potatoes Make You More Intelligent?

As we are all recovering from holidays (honestly, they should make 6 Jan a free day, too, imo), I'll just leave you with this astonishing news item from DailyMail (I know, I know)

The secret to man's intelligence? POTATOES

Carbs are in again:

 The new study combines archaeological, anthropological, genetic, physiological and anatomical data to argue it carbohydrate consumption was key in the human brain's evolution.

We Are All Wimps

 compared to Mary. They told us in the church that she had to travel 140 km on foot to Bethlehem, while being nearly 9 months pregnant. I do remember in some movie (Nativity Story?) they showed her on a donkey, but still, I doubt the journey would be very comfortable. And then they had to sleep in a stable, too. Somehow I can't imagine a modern Western woman doing anything similar, and then without moaning and complaining:) But then, how many men would be up to the task, either?

Modern civilisation has spoiled us all rotten, I guess...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

 And all glory to God


 

We always sing it standing after the Christmas sermon. This year we aren't allowed to sing in church, due to corona virus. We have two soloists who do all the singing. And yet, after a couple of lines, everybody joined in. They weren't singing very hard, just under their noses, but still - singing! I had tears in my eyes. It felt like a statement. So many begrudge Christians coming together in these times, but here we were, united in our act of worship. And it was beautiful.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

(For the scrooges among us, we were with less than 30 people and they opened all the doors in the end for better ventilation).

There Is More Support For Homemakers Than You Think

 Even in Sweden:

 "half of 9,000 surveyed women said they wanted to become housewifes if they had the chance, but 7/10 said society shouldn't accept this"

Cognitive dissonance much?:)
