I have a flower sticker on my kitchen window to let the birds know the glass is there. The large smudge is the print of a wood pigeon that hit the glass just now. It was so noisy! It must have been flying fast! You can even make out the bird’s eye on the smudge.

Amazingly the pigeon flew off. It must have a headache though!
Poor pigeon !

I don't have any dislikes and or special likes. The only thing that I request would be for it to maybe be something from your area of the world which would make it extra special for me. Oh and because we are in summer ( today is already 37c) maybe nothing that will melt.

Sooo, I won't repeat my last year's line about being a woman of simple tastes, so let me just list expensive jewelry, fashion, and fine dining as my Top 3... :p Kidding. Again. :rolleyes:

Top Likes, in no particular order:
1. Animals -- cuddly, reptilian, or edible. I have a place in my heart for them all. ;)
2. My daughter. As you know. :rolleyes: :)
3. Good coffee, good wine, dark chocolate. But maybe don't try to send me any -- the customs here may or may not let it through... :(
4. Travel. First-class, please.
5. Photography, writing, art.

Top Dislikes:
1. Birds, most of the time. If I might change my mind about that someday, I'll be happy to tweet about it. :rolleyes:
2. Driving. Which I don't do here.
3. Language barriers and Danish healthcare system... Just ranting.
4. Anything big and bulky -- we have no permanent home right now.
5. Lego, puzzles -- anything that triggers my OCD and keeps me into the night trying to FINISH THAT THING!
