I woke up to the sad and surprising news that David Bowie died yesterday. The next post, in an hour, will be a brief obituary. Given that, I don’t have the heart to go over things that happened this day in history. In Dobrzyn, though, life goes on, and Hili is again being duplicitous—though I suppose it’s redundant to use the phrase “duplicitous cat”.)
A: Hili, get down from this table.I just wanted to say bon appétit.
Ja: Hili, zejdź z tego stołu!Hili: Chciałam wam tylko powiedzieć bon appétit.
Here’s a bonus photo of Hili and Cyrus essaying a companionable walk in the snow:
Finally, Anne-Marie Cournoyer sends a daily squirrel from snowbound Montreal, along with some notes:
We’ve been visited by the rare Abominable Snow Squirrel, a.k.a. as the Nutsquatch. He’s a relative of the famous Yeti. Fits the description: large, hairy, muscular, bipedal when needed, squirrel-like creature, roughly 1 foot tall, covered in hair described as grey, white and brownish. Likes to say: “Go ahead, make my day!”
For the non fan who wants an introduction to Bowie, this article features a set of 10 great videos:

And while this may not be the best sounding cover of Space Oddity, it is certainly the most spectacular. From Chris Hadfield.
I really liked Hadfield’s video. He’s quite a performer in his own right.
I have read that with the warmer winter squirrels are staying up, eating, and getting fatter than usual.
He’s a fat one and no mistake.lol
Hili is just checking out those very interesting-looking mugs on the table.
And I hope Hili and Cyrus enjoyed their walk!
“We’ve been visited by the rare Abominable Snow Squirrel, a.k.a. as the Nutsquatch. He’s a relative of the famous Yeti.”
The rare visible cryptid. But size wise he looks more related to the famous Yoda.
A Yoda Yeti?! I like that!
Hili, you can come to our place. Cats are only forbidden from the kitchen table when it’s been transformed into a work table — and, even then, only when it would be hazardous to the cat or whatever’s being worked on.
