I’m not sick, am I?

🇺🇸 Written in English

This morning, I woke up groggy. My head was pounding and my throat itched. As soon as I tried to get up, my bear body felt heavy. Instead of getting up, I dragged myself out of bed. Once in front of the mirror, my eyes were red and puffy. I splashed water on my face, hoping to feel better. With a large glass of water, I swallowed an aspirin and slowly crawled into bed. Pulling the covers up to my chin, I let out a deep sigh, closed my eyes and tried to rest.

Building a warm little house for my cat Tom

🇺🇸 Written in English

As a true animal lover, I want to give my dear four-legged friend the best. Even though my cat Tom has plenty of sleeping places and toys in the house. Still, Tom prefers to be outside. Unfortunately, it’s snowing. If he hates anything, it’s cold, wet paws. Now I feel so sorry for him today. For several days, Tom has been sitting mournfully at the door meowing to finally be allowed to go outside again. So I decided to build him a cat house in the garden. As a surprise. Then he can still be outside, watch the birds fly by and not have cold, wet paws.

Languages I speak

🇺🇸 Written in English

Five bears holding signs in different languages.

Learning foreign languages is my favorite activity. It is really fascinating to communicate fluently in foreign languages. You can safely leave notes on your desk without anyone understanding it. Or how about a telephone conversation without anyone understanding it. Some kind of espionage?! The languages I speak fluently are Dutch (mother tongue), English and Norwegian. I also understand Danish, Swedish and French quite well. What I would like to learn in the future is Russian and Icelandic language.
