My ship has finally arrived. I'll remember all of you little people when I've made it tho.
A picture of a very good cat laying next to a green book with the title "home computers can make you rich" There is an illustration of a home computer with dollar signs on the screen as the roof of a house. It is not a very good illustration.

There's got to be a better way to transfer files on a laptop. 😩

Every new years me and my dad used to make a Dutch treat called "oliebollen". Ever since my dad died I've had to do it alone.

At this time of year I always miss him most.

Cherish the people around you. ♥️
