Fireworks are causing fires all over the world

In all the news we can read about fires starting in Sweden, Thailand and other parts of the world today, new years eve, due to fireworks catching fire on buildings and such. Some see their life work gone in a few minutes. Others start off the new year homeless. It is said that people do not understand how dangerous fireworks and Thai lanterns really are. They can even cause a plane to crash. Just saying. Be careful. Let the big boys, like the firedeparment, handle the fireworks.

 

Happy new year! Gott nytt år!

Snart blir kl.00.00 och nya året i Sverige börjar. Än är det sista dagen på 2012 och några timmar kvar till 2013.

Soon the clock will strike 00.00 and the new year of 2013 starts. But in Sweden it is still 2012 and some hours left until the clock strikes 2013.

I give you a song named Happy new year by ABBA, a Swedish group.

Jag bjuder ikväll på ABBA:s sång Happy new year, vilket känns passande.

Feed the birds

I have been out to a public lake and feed the birds. Me and the family members. We gave food to the birds. I never eat the final pieces of the bread in the freezer. So we gathered all the last small pieces and gave it to the birds.

During the feeding of birds I saw a goose that was injured, but it seem to be able to live fine. It could swim and walk. And people feed the birds, perhaps it gets some food to. However part of its wing was dislocated. I tried to call the city, but no emergency number was available during the holidays, but I found a way to communicate the birds injury, so I did. I hope it gets help. However it was fine in condition, so I have good hopes for the bird.

Most of the birds where goose, ducks and swans.

Well, last time I was out there were a lot of birds that wanted food when we walked pass them. I felt sorry since I didn’t have any food with me at that time. Therefore I took the time today to finally do it. Feed the birds. Not that I am not feeding the birds in my garden. I am feeding them sunflower seeds.

The snow outside is melting since it is warmer weather now. So the white snow has started to look like dirt indeed. Not that lovely as white snow can be. Some kids had built the snow bivouac outdoors. Those can be dangerous for kids that do not understand the danger of playing inside them. The snow can fall down and suffocate the kid inside. I am happy it is melting away. It’s not easy to tell a smaller kid it is dangerous… they have no understanding of the concept dangerous with cause and effect on this level.
