Here in South Limburg the Netherlands, it was last month confirmed by Watership Limburg the otter has come back after 40 years of absence. Awesome.

Hello there in the Netherlands! Do you have a good kingsday and a lekker weertje?

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 5 points 3 months ago

Heheh, The weather is certainly fine, had a visit to the barber, made a nice dinner for my fam, and forgot all about that potatohead king. Good times. I wish you a good day as I am having, Witty.

And dogs and cats and foxes and rabbits and my mom... It's a mammal thing.
