Rain in December

A lot of rain has fallen today. 

It is nothing strange with rain in early December where we live. Winter and snow usually come later. It is still not nice that we must wait for the snow, because the snow makes these dark days of the year brighter. 

We just have to wait and see if we will get a white Christmas. 

British World Champion

British Formula 1 driver Lando Norris won the World Championship this year. 

Daniel usually follows Formula 1, but he has not viewed as many races this year as he has before. He still likes to be updated, though.

The championship did not get decided until the last race, which was held today. Norris came third, but this was enough for him to become champion. It is nice when the suspense is there all the way to the finish line of the last race. 

Pepe and I would want to see a Mexican champion, or a Swedish one, but it does not seem likely in the near future. 

Chicken

We got some chicken meat with our food today. Chicken is very tasty.

Pepe and I ate most of the chicken, but Totte also got some. Malin was outdoors the whole day, when she came back inside in the evening, there was no chicken meat left for her. We did not tell her what she had missed, there is no reason to be cruel in that way. She is bound to get good meat on other occasions, it will even out over time.

Fined for Threatening to Kill a Dog

The Göta Court of Appeals has sentenced a man to fines for illegal threats, because he came with a threat against another man to kill the other man's dog. The judgment came on the 1 December 2025 in case B 2661-25. The man had to pay a fine.

The judgment came after an appeal of a judgment from the Örebro court, where the threatening man was freed.

We believe the judgment in the Court of Appeals is correct. If you threaten somebody by claiming you should kill the dog of that person, you should be found guilty.

The judgment also shows that the law protect dogs. This is certainly the most important conclusion you can make from this judgment. 

Dumplings

Paula cooked dumplings today. These proved to be a favourite of Pepe.

Usually, Pepe is rather picky with the food he is given. Usually, he backs down, when somebody else want the food – just because he does not care enough to take the fight.

Today, Pepe jumped at the dumplings. He protected his share seemingly with his life, growling and scaring the cats away. Dumplings must really be Pepe's favourite dish. I am happy for him, that he got the dumplings today. 

Predictive Text

When you get a new device to write electronic text upon, it always has a setting to use "predictive text". This means that the app tries to select words for you, instead of letting you write words yourself. It also changes some words to others, by itself.

We do not know the true purpose of predictive text, but we suspect it is invented just to annoy anyone who uses it. 

Daniel has turned the predictive text function off on his new tablet. We are very grateful for this. It is much easier to write any text without this function. 

Dough Maker

Paula and Daniel went grocery shopping today. When they came back home, they had a new kitchen appliance, a machine that helps you make dough when you bake bread. 

Humans like bread. Pepe and I are not as fond of it. We believe your diet should contain more meat. 

We guess that if you want to bake bread, a machine like this is nice to have. Paula has talked for a long time about wanting one. We hope she likes it and will use it a lot.
