Mostly a lurker. Busy reading and learning. Nature. Comics. Books. Science. Bossed around by two juvenile cats. (Disaster pair!) Tries to be as kind as possible. Sometimes I succeed. (she/her) No longer active on Twitter.
Yeah, I visited the pet shop to buy a new carrier for the cats, but when I was there these walk patches caught my eye. I know exactly who I shall gift with a "I bark for no reason" (even though I'm pretty sure there's a valid DOG reason for barking.) #dogs #Sweden #cute #BarkBarkBark #Woof
Oh, no! It's so hot that the cat is melting ... 🫠 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat #cats
Todays biggest challenge was re-potting my two squash plants with eager, if unwanted, help from my two curious cats. All of us survived which I frankly doubted at times. 🌱 #gardening #cats #MissionImpossible #vegetables #balcony
Today was a hot and sunny day that ended in thunder and pouring rain. None of it bothered Kajsa, our tiny female tabby, a bit. She can sleep through (almost) anything that doesn't sound like it's food-related. She knows how to prioritize. 😼 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat #cat
It's warm outside and Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles) was lazily grooming himself in the shade when SUDDENLY a tiny fly passed by. Lasers locked. Total focus! (He soon went back to grooming, but that fly lived dangerously without being aware of it.) #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat #cats
Sometimes there's an unexplained mystery. Like, how did that bug just disappear into thin air?! Our furry detectives Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles), our red and white himbo and Kajsa, the spicy female grey tabby, are on the case. #cats #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat
... and of course I found another set of cute ceramics that I don't need but really liked. Oh well. If I don't allow myself to fall for temptation now and then I'll turn into a real bore. Can't have that. #cats #CatsOfBluesky #cups #kitchenware
Short 🧵 I try not to buy too much new "stuff" unless to replace something. (Books don't count!) But when I saw these two mugs standing together on the shelf in the store I just had to have them. #cats #CatsOfBluesky #mugs #cat
The old cat tree is all used up so we found another, pre-owned, online and the cats are pleased with this change. Soft baskets, a hiding place, poles for clawing and climbing. Five tails in the air out of five possible! 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #cats #ProofOfCat
It's not just animals and flowers. There are at least one human couple as well. Just look at them! Dressed in their finest and dancing together. This gate was a delight and I'm so glad that the artist added the gold details to catch the attention of people passing by. #Stockholm #art
What else is hiding in this #gate? Look! An elephant! Long trunk and legs but a teeny tiny body. Could the inspiration be a child's drawing? Cute anyway.
Could there be more animals hiding in this gate? YES! It's a horse! And it looks happy.
On closer inspection, the animal in question is not a mammal. It's a bird. A golden little bird.
It's fascinating whenever it happens. I walk around on the streets, on my way somewhere, and suddenly my eye catches some little detail that I've passed before without noticing. Like this #gate. #WalkWithMe #Stockholm #StreetArt
The best entertainment channel ever! Our cats are really committed birdwatchers. And we're lucky that the blackbirds are nesting close by. The female picks through leaf litter looking for insects and worms. She doesn't care about her two stalkers. #Caturday #birdwatching #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Yard work is absolutely exhausting! Just ask our tiny tabby Kajsa! After watching me doing this and that in the garden for a few hours she insisted on a nap. Break time. Cat, cookies and tea. 🥰 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #Gardening #cats
A little cutie for your timeline. #Bloomscroll #tulip #garden #SpringBulbs
Det är fortfarande minusgrader på nätterna men de grekiska krokusarna (Crocus sieberi) i rabatten blommar och lockar till sig våghalsiga fjärilar och humlor som lämnat sin vinterdvala. De lila blombladen är betydligt mer intensiva i färgen IRL. #bloomscroll #plants #spring #garden #Sweden
Another nice outdoor electrical cabinet seen in Stockholm. I really like that the city uses these spaces to show art. A small treat for the pedestrians who are not in a hurry. #WalkWithMe #StreetArt #Stockholm #Sweden
The last few days Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles) has been very cuddly and insisting on resting on my lap or chest. I feel honored because usually he stays close but prefers to sleep next to me. 🥰 (The odds are there's a hairball coming and he feels icky.) 🙀 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat
Two nice outdoor electrical cabinets clad in foil with a photo Trompe-l'œil of the office building behind them. Seen close to Garnisonen on Östermalm in Stockholm. #WalkWithMe #StreetArt #Stockholm
Yes, spring has sprung and the stream through Stockholm is no longer covered in ice but the water birds still hang out together on the feeding platform. A brief period of peace and quiet before it's time to compete and find a mate. 🦢 #birds #WalkWithMe #Stockholm #CanadaGoose #coot #nature
Saturdays are for Snoozing, something that our himbo tabby Fröken Fräken excels at. Now and then he gives out a tiny squeak when he dreams, but otherwise he's very quiet. #Caturday #cats #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat
There are six more ancient warships sunk around Kastellholmen. A few of them were used as foundations for a bridge. The others possibly as a way to make it more difficult for invaders to come ashore. Both neat and a bit humbling to think of this. #Shipwreck #winter #Sweden #history #archaeology
Timeline cleanser. The wreck of a Swedish warship from 1620. After being decommissioned it was filled with rocks and sunk, next to the island Kastellholmen in Stockholm. It's not usually seen above water but this winter the water levels has been very low. #Shipwreck #Stockholm #archeology #history
Our tiny tabby Kajsa is not particularly amused by the *floump* sounds when large amounts of snow slides of the roof and hits the ground. She actually looks pretty p*ssed that we don't do anything to stop it. Sorry! 🤷♀️ #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat
Något som alla demonstranter på Sergels Torg kunde ställa sig bakom: Ryssland ut ur Ukraina! #Ukraina
