Coat and scarf (for it is a scarf) is due to the cold. Nights, especially clear ones, are getting pretty chilly up here in Stockholm.

I'm studying at Örebro University, (mostly folks my general age). This night there was a noted Swedish historian who held a lecture about the Thirty Year War. It was open for the general public, so the seniors saw their chance. And they seized it...

Like two pages old but since Örebro is apparently Stockholm now (lol, no) you should come to this.

And since I've been reading this thread forever, here are two really bad pictures of me on a mountain





I'm sorry I am in fact a man with a hat and not a liar.

I will make excuses for all hats so long as you're exploring mountains.

I... own a cloak.

My mother is a pretty great seamstress and she made a cloak for herself when she went to the "Purple Rain" concert back in the mid eighties. Heavy black wool with satin purple lining.
It made the perfect wizards cloak for Halloween! Also doubles as a cloak for rogue pirate! Haven't checked on it for years. Hope the wool moths didn't eat it up.

Your wrench is very large. Perhaps for work on trucks?

I'd probably enjoy that.

You, however, might not, since my experiences tending to anything mechanical have been limited to the awesome 99.5% metal sewing machine my mother passed on to me when I moved out of the house (hooray for cleaning out lint and oiling all the things!) and the go kart my dad jerry-rigged so that I could drive it well below the recommended age on the warning label. So, yeah, I'd probably ask a lot of annoying/distracting questions--such as "What's that shiny thing? What's it do? Can I touch it? Why's it broken now?"--but only because that's how I learn. I'm really good at fetching tools, though, and I have a decent grasp on what different tools are called, thus making the fetching easier. :downs:

Also, your avatar is excellent. It feels like something that I'd be happy having as my computer desktop for awhile.

I'm jealous of this cloak that actually serves a practical purpose. Mine is pretty much just for show. Like, when I got the pics taken of me wearing it in the snow earlier this year I was soooo cold by the time the session was done. It was totally worth it, though, so I really can't complain, but still...
I think your camera needs to visit the optometrist for a new prescription.

Oh, that's mine. He doesn't have a cage, his purpose in life is sitting on top of things that I don't want Amadeus to sit on top of. He's really good at it.

You know, I've always wanted an older mustang. Like 70's or 80's old. I just got a 1984 Bronco II, somehow in just about perfect condition. Still learning stick but it drives like a tiny car. It's loving cute for being a "truck."

I guess I should jump on the bird pic posting bandwagon. Have some gross low-res cell phone selfies of me with two of my birdies:


This is Maestro. He is a brat, but very sweet.


And this is Simon. He is also a brat, but he's much more of an rear end in a top hat than Maestro is.

Nah. He's always too busy trying to groom me or feed my ear or hand to nap with me. When I took this particular picture he was "helping" me read a book. :(

Simon was once my guard-birdie during a nap, though. He sat at the edge of the bed all puffed up and was grinding his beak and softly chattering to himself whenever I'd come out of my half doze. :allears:

Maybe one day one of them will nap with me like Ama naps with you. Probably not in the near future, but maybe one day.
