I can't remember which Disney animation film it was, but the only word their Seagulls ever said was "mine".

I think that was in Pixar’s Finding Nemo…

Well ... I have been rapidly making up New Resolutions (to make up for the broken ones ...)

The Police came around yesterday but it was not me they were looking for. There was an incident in our road. Me and my two alibis heard it but saw nothing. The Criminal Investigation Department, parked one of their detective cars outside our door, to protect us from the naughties.

I will be good. I will be gooder. I will do goodliness!

Did you hear about the lady who passed out on the baggage carousel?
She came round eventually

As someone who has grown up around them on the Pacific Coast, it sure fits the bill.

Someone told me a funny New Year's resolution:

I vow to procrastinate more in the 2024. But I won't get started until next week..

Dutch habits to be indulged on New Years Day…

1. Nieuwjaarsborrel… a stiff drink preferably from a cafe
2. Nieuwjaarsduik… a dive into the sea, usually followed by a fortifying beaker of pea soup
3. Nieuwjaarsconcert… live music in the form of a concert

@Jeroen (from another thread)

the dream I had (about trying to catch a group of mice and hamsters with my bare hands)>

Apologies for this - it is unlikely to be in any way helpful, but I am reminded of something my sister experienced years ago, after deciding to leave the mice in her (very wildlife porous) house alone and to let them do as they pleased.

In the final act of this little farce, the mice were scampering across her body and nibbling at her fingers as she slept, or, rather, tried to sleep.

Nowadays, I think, she is trying to slaughter the lot of them with electric traps.

A chisel?

I saw the mouse again last night, it was making its way rapidly along the plint in the living room. The varmint! He is giving me unpleasant dreams…

It sound's like it's made itself at home (both mentally and physically) and in time it will most probably invite family and friends over to a home warming party... They are real party animals

....BTW rodents use their incisors like chisels...

Can you be-leaf the year is already over?
