Oma, I often wonder about time capsules that people bury or hide, and how they'd be viewed by people in the future.

This dog is definitely not a guard dog!
Maddie the 2 year old Golden Retriever loves the men who empty her family's bins. The east Belfast binmen make a fuss of her every time they roll into her street and she loves it! Her human family all adore her and son, Josh, created an Instagram account for her. Her videos reach ten million views and she as 20,000 followers.
Hopefully, this little item will put a smile on your face.

What a cutie
She obviously thinks the bin men come just to see her.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Gem, I bet that is exactly what she thinks. Eva believes everyone visiting our house has come to see her!

Oma, I noticed her taking a toy. Cooper has a 'greeting toy' which is kept just for visitors (so he doesn't try and greet them with an antler in his mouth!) and Missy, next door, both greets with a toy and steals one to take home when she visits!

What an inspiration this lady is. Nearly 101 years old, Glenys Cour is passionate about colour and painting, even though she has never used a brush. She lives in the Mumbles, overlooking Swansea Bay and I suspect quite near to Clover. She has seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, but when she goes into her art studio she says she forgets everything and is immersed in her work. I don't think she's planning for retirement, bless her.

Think of this little community when you're putting your turkey into your oven, switching on your festive lights, watching the King's Speech and Gavin & Stacey and perhaps even charging your electric car this Christmas to say nothing of posting on GRU (yes, we don't close for Christmas!) or Whats App-ing family and friends.
They have no electricity, broadband, mobile phone signal, mains water/sewerage or gas!
Having spent 8 years waiting for fibre broadband I have only a small indication of how it must be for them - hugely frustrating that things move so slowly.

Have you every seen an Iberian Lynx in the wild? I'm almost certain your answer would be "no", because they came within a hair's breadth of extinction. At one time there were only two totally separate populations in Spain and Portugal, with only 25 breeding females between them. A 'just in time' conservations programme was started in the Algarve with a view to getting them ready for release into the wild.
It's a success story that isn't without its cliff-hanger moments.
