Absolutely gorgeous. I love your place. Has Toretto learnt to come knocking at your back door now?

That sidewalk is his “runway”... literally!! he loves it for some reason. I know why he’s not gaining much weight now.... it’s because of all the exercise he’s getting! And I do think he wants back in the house. He is spoiled and likes human interaction... that door goes into the guest bathroom. For several days, I kept hearing a banging noise and couldn’t figure out where it came from. Then I caught him in the act:)

Good mornooning, roommates!

I ran a half marathon (almost) on Saturday. Plus squats, exercises in patience, display of precision in social skills, orienteering, and significant brainwork... A photo marathon in other words. I literally walked 17 kilometers (10.6 miles) and did all of the above things.

Result:

1. I did it!!! [emoji123] So proud of myself, and suffering from muscle ache.

2. First place in one of the 12 categories. Will share my pictures soon.

Congratulations!!! I’m proud of you too! I am definitely looking forward to seeing your photos.

“High flying” (højtflyvende). Category 1/12.

View attachment 271016

The category has multiple meanings in Danish (as I was told), including “extravagant” and “overly ambitious”. For this photo, I visited the Eagle, a sculpture in Roskilde Hospital:

A pigeon landed on a lamppost right next to it, so I played with the idea of juxtaposing the two “high fliers”.

The pigeon is completely oblivious to what could have been a dangerous proximity to a real high flier and a bird of prey. [emoji36]

If I did it all over again, I might have submitted the following picture, the “high flying” crow versus a row of ducks.

Hi Heather. That`s what I am sometimes thinking too.:)

Good morning Sabine! Good to see you popping in this morning... my son calls you the other “ crazy tortoise lady” ... he thinks it’s funny that my iPad case says that on it;-) because of your Christmas gifts, you are discussed often here:)
