What do you mean I haven't shared a photo of our dog?

Getting ready to do the annual garden bird counting, and as we're looking out the window, we saw something unexpected – a flock of 39 cranes flying past!

No time to get good photos, but we saw it, and that's the main thing. An amazing spotting!

The joy of being in Czechia is that Christmas here is 24th, which means I get second Christmas tomorrow! Twice as much cukroví!

Veselé Vánoce!

Getting my old writing organised again, and finding memories in the process. As you do.

This sure was an experience! It taught me a lot about habit forming, how I work best, and even more about how important a good structure works for me. I definitely enjoyed it more the second time, in 2016.

Today's morning walk in the forest was the best kind – I saw a buzzard, two ravens, several fallow deer, a buck, a well-behaved doggo, and not a single other person.

No photos this time, so sharing one from the archive.

Late posting, as 'someone' forced my hand. It's been a day of baking cukroví (Czech Christmas biscuits), then catching up with the latest Knives Out movie – quietly called by editors/translators in the Q&A, "Where should the comma go?"

Client answer? "Yes"

Nothing like a new app on a public platform to bring out my anxiety-ridden luddite side.

Thanks for the warm welcome @hierath77.bsky.social, and hello to people I don't know yet!
