You know you’re getting on in years when the Jugendliebe sends you several texts with typos, followed by this:
(I was eighteen when we met. Guess it’s been a few decades …)

Wir sind aus Gründen zu einer seltsamen Zeit (15:30 Uhr) im Restaurant. Neben der Abendkarte gibt es noch Frühstück.
Der Mann: Wenn wir jetzt frühstücken, kann ich dir heute Abend noch dieses äthiopische Gericht kochen …
(Einmal gut geheiratet reicht fürs ganze Leben.)

Our friend the San Lorenzo Harlequin Toad is rather dull compared to many other Harlequin Toads, which tend to have bright colors! They live in several small areas in high-altitude mountain forests of Colombia! (photo by Alejandro Lopez)

As well as Bowie it’s also Elvis’s birthday today. Which means we get to post what are the second best Ampelmännchen in Germany - in Bad Nauheim, Hessen, where The King was stationed 1958-60.

The Squidling's fact-a-day calendar states: "When they are born, octopuses are the size of fleas."
To this I say, first, source needed. Second, octopuses are hatched. Third, what kind of octopus? Surely they are not all the same size at hatching, given adult sizes vary a lot.
Fourth? Adorable. 🐙

Am S-Bahnhof stehen, auf dem Nachbargleis einen beleuchteten Fernzug in die Nacht fahren sehen und das alte Reiseziehen in der Magengrube spüren.
Jetzt aber doch auf dem Weg heim, ins warme Haus.

A postcard of the striking Marble Hall of the #Berlin Zoo. Destroyed in the war, it was used as the location for the Nosferatu Movie premiere in 1922.

Europeans didn't learn about electric eels until after they learned about electricity. There are electric catfish in the Nile, and they were called thunder fish.
Native S. American peoples called electric eels something that translates to: the fish that takes away movement.

Our friend the Antioquia Beaked Toad lives on the western slope of the Cordillera Occidental in Colombia! Many other toads in genus Rhinella have long and pointy noses, but the Antioquia Beaked Toad has one of the longest! (photo by Khristian Venegas Valencia)

Not every season is for flowering. Some are for resting, mending, and gathering strength.

Well I have finally chosen my New Year’s resolution -
“Prioritize the good stuff”
With the way 2026 has started, good stuff might be hard to find some days. But I will try…..

My son put it best when he was a young kid: "Cats are great because you get happy every time you encounter them. You turn a corner, and there's a cat there, and it's like there's a cat, and that's great."
I always think about it whenever I turn a corner and encounter a cat.
