Travelling
Since May 2017, we have a Siamese-mix cat whom we adopted from Spain. Here’s our personal story of our pet adoption/ Why adopt? And why adopt from abroad? Our planet has no shortage of cats. Due to the lax neutering attitude of many people, cats …
At the beginning of a new year, we expect to be full of plans, energy and perhaps some resolutions how to do better – or maybe have a full list of them? I hope you had a great start to the new year, and that …
Friday is Haiku Day! Yeah, it probably makes no sense whatsoever in Japanese, but it’s kinda fun to stick it into Google Translate. I really wanted something a bit sunnier ‘n funnier but the dark wet weather here in the north, no matter how many …
