We’ve almost made it to the end of the week, and tomorrow I leave for two days of lectures, noms, and cockatoo-viewing in SC. Spring is here in all its glory, and the squirrels are ravenous. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, The Furry Princess of Poland is particularly cute today, but craves stimulation:
Hili: Life is full of surprises.
A: What happened?
Hili: That’s it: nothing happened today.
In Poliah:
Hili: Życie jest pełne niespodzianek.
Ja: Co się stało?
Hili: Właśnie dzisiaj nic.
She should be outside in the sunshine then!
Talking of cocatoos reminds me that the rose-ringed parakeets Psittacula krameri are on the rise in London – they have spread from Regent’s Park to the small park near where I live in Islington…

It appears Hili has taken to Lawrence Krauss’s favorite anecdote about Richard Feynman.
RF used to go up to people all the time and he’d say “You won’t believe what happened to me today… you won’t believe what happened to me” and people would say “What?” and he’d say “Absolutely nothing”. Because we humans believe that everything that happens to us is special and significant.”

I’ve long suspected that cats are much more advanced physicists than humans.
