Jeez Louise, it's been almost a whole month since my last entry. Where DOES the time go. I've had other things on my mind, namely an intractable, incurable, rare disease named Dercum's Disease.

Other than that, it's midsummer here in Norway and that means bonfires all over the place. It'll be light enough here at 3 AM to read a newspaper outside.

P.S. Each year, the seagulls build a nest on the roofs here in town, and each year, one or two baby seagulls will fall out of the nests onto the ground. Well, so it happened this year, a little ball of fluff fell uninjured on the ground and so far he's been doing just fine for the past week or so. His mother and parents keep close guard on him, and rest of the seagull flock seems very supportive.

Ball of Fluff looks nothing like a seagull, of course. He looks mottled, grey, brown, and speckled. Fluff on two little stick legs, walking around and chirping. He knows enough to hide himself during the day, and comes out when no one's around to get food from him mom, or to eat bread crumbs thrown on the ground.
