I can assure you that you are not 900 years old. If you *were*, as I appear to be, you would be putting rotating live cams set to smooth jazz on your TV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUk-Xvlfs1I). Instead, you are cool and watching boarding school horror. :)

Ooooo, I just looked that up and it looks so relaxing and chill? We watch lots of stuff on YouTube on the television (mostly British panel shows like Taskmaster, QI, etc., and old weird movies that we can't find anywhere else), but I *never* think of livestreams like that and I'm always so weirdly FASCINATED when I stumble upon them.

I think we should just roll with/embrace our Impending Elderdom! <3

Add "Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig" (we also like the British TV) if you want some...travel ASMR, maybe? That's sort of how I think of it.

Oh, I haven't watched any of those! We watched a bunch of the ones she did during the UK shutdown, mostly fun little history nuggets and so on, and they were IMMENSELY comfortable and comforting.

I SO aspire to swanking.

Our library doesn't have these, but I don't think enough patrons know about the five suggestions a month we're allowed, so they always buy my suggestions. I'm trying to limit what I actually buy, but... it's only four books...

I do separate feedings for the ground-feeding doves, and am learning crow calls. I would say "send help," but... honestly... there is probably no help for this. In related news, I'm 950 this month...

I had a library patron teach me a bit about crow calls a while back, so that's on my radar as well!! Whenever I see them watching our bird feeding area at home, I open the window and huck peanuts out. No luck yet, but they'll come around, I HOPE!! Always nice to be in good elderly company with you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
