Glad to say I was able maintain my longstanding New Year’s Eve tradition of going to sleep well before midnight. Which differentiates it from every other night, where I stay up past midnight.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’.
‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

The “murder hornet” has been eradicated in the U.S. five years after it was found in Washington State, officials say. A massive mobilization has eliminated the invasive species from that hot spot and the nation, at least for now. nyti.ms/3By69PS

Earlier this year, I randomly stumbled into a showing of Birds in the Earth (2018 short) by Marja Helander.
It’s stayed with me, though much of the meaning must have gone over my head. I know so little about Sami sovereignty and land ownership issues. I’d love to see it again sometime. It was good

My pre-schooler suddenly jumped from wanting to read the likes of “Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site” to “all moomin books, in order”.
I’ve been elated. And yet… attempting to explain the goings on in Moominvalley has been trying at times.

You all deserve comfort. And I'm here with the recipe for the ultimate comfort cake...
Chocolate Chip Streusel Coffee Cake
Easy to make, the best coffee cake you'll ever eat; I've been making this for a very long time.
Light and fluffy cake, not too sweet, with a crunchy streusel topping.

Also, tucked in the end of it is the point that Waffle House being open come Hell or high water is actually a form of marketing for a chain that otherwise doesn't do much marketing.

My preschooler recently surprised me by correctly using the term nocturnal while discussing animal habits during a walk in the woods.
I tried to repeat the experience in front of my partner by asking what you call something that stays up all night. My kid’s response: “tired and grumpy”
