if you’re someone who still reads for pleasure, you’re heroic. if you’re able to unplug from all the chaos of our entertainment culture and disappear into the warmth and quiet of a book, that is a superpower and I’m very glad to know you.
How an octopus named Otto caused an aquarium power outage by climbing to the edge of his tank and shooting a jet of water at a bright light that was annoying him.
The staff believed that the octopus called Otto had been annoyed by the bright light shining into his aquarium and had discovered he could extinguish it by climbing onto the rim of his tank and squirting a jet of water in its direction.
The short-circuit had baffled electricians as well as staff at the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, who decided to take shifts sleeping on the floor to find out what caused the mysterious blackouts.
Happy Twelfth Night, the traditional "end" to the Christmas or holiday season...but you can keep going if you want to. Keep your sparkly lights and candles and evergreens, they're comforting in the cold and dark season of winter as we await spring's return.
@ElenaM52 That's indeed sooner, but out here it's pretty common to marry within the year, so it still seems like plenty of time to me. Hopefully her mum will be able to atttend. 🤞🏻
A reminder that the 12 Days of Christmas started yesterday. The celebration, worship, feasting, and rest go on for another eleven still.
Make merry. Take naps. Do a puzzle. Eat leftovers. Go for a walk. Drink it in. No rush.
Takes the pressure off a bit, doesn’t it?
Unwrapped my #tbtbsanta gifts this morning, and I am SO spoiled again by @MaureensBooks89 Thank you very much for making me feel as a kid on Christmas! 🥰
