I’m in Trieste. Seeing things like this on TV makes me wish I had studied a little more Italian.

Pretty much the best part of visiting my childhood home is also getting to visit all the cool Alvar Aalto architecture spots that I hated going to as a kid and now love.

This looks so stupid now. Bird based apps (duolingo, Twitter and a bird song identification app) were my most used. Now there’s one bird missing. Sniff.

Ah, spring. 😍 #tramstopphotography

13/50: A film whose main character has health problems

The main character in The Gravedigger’s Wife hurts his foot pretty badly and the title character, the wife, is ill. It’s a wonderful movie that makes you think about how the world works. Very touching.

Here we go again! The list for my library’s 2023 film challenge has dropped. I’ll try to be a little more efficient with the tweets this time around and not leave them all to the last week of the year.

Recommendations welcome! ☺️

12/50: A spy film 

As a pretty experienced spy* I was extremely dubious about this category, but turns out I really enjoyed Three Days of the Condor.

*I even have a diploma that shows my expert spy level. Test taken in the Museum of Espionage, so it’s definitely legit. 🕵🏻

I only now realized that my #Boswords Spring League standing is final and it’s by best ever, by a lot!

As usual, my goal was to be in the top 100, and I sure was! 🤩

I liked this one! Really enjoyed figuring out the themers. Today I learned that Omaha is not known for its trout industry. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #nytxw

My morning flight yesterday was canceled and I got to gray Copenhagen from sunny Helsinki much later than planned. But now I’m here, the rain has stopped and the sky is blue! At least for now. This gate has to make a guest appearance in #doorwaysofhelsinki

Here’s a free business idea from Owen to all parsnip farmers of the world.

[Anna @lasersilma]

One of the biggest reasons I keep plowing through the Welsh course on @duolingo is that I absolutely need to know what's going to happen next to Owen and his parsnips. I'm invested now!

[Anna @lasersilma]

I have learned some interesting things about Owen recently.

Owen is an artist and an author and he worships parsnips! What a guy, wish I could meet him and eat parsnips with him on his little parsnip island or in his nightclub.

I ran into this beaut on my way to look at yarn and stuff for my future crochet blanket project. I love those wood carvings on the door. The yarn was very nice, too. Now I have to do some math and figure out how much of each color I need. ☺️🧶 #doorwaysofhelsinki
