but where did

love and herrings

I guess for me one song is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", which often played on the radio in Bavaria, and a Brit  friend used to complain that they played a "Christmas song" wrong time of the year.  Then I learned that " the Wizard of Oz" used to be shown on telly at Christmas time in Britain.

Dr Spock was a real doctor.  Mr Spock was on Enterprise, but -  Spocky, beam me up!  Nah, doesn't sound right, somehow... 

Since a couple of weeks I'm watching" the great elk migration" on Swedish television. So called "slow TV". Every year since milennia, elks are swimming a river to get to their summer feeding grounds. Sometimes nothing happens for hours and hours, only the occasional bird swims past. Then there are suddenly an elk or eleven, slowly moving through the wood. I have not caught any actually swimming yet this year, but 26 have made it across. https://www.svtplay.se/den-stora-algvandringen?kfx=vPzhz-Dcz&utm_source=svt.se&utm_medium=puff&utm_campaign=null&utm_content=null&utm_term=null

You are right, @LeonG, as none of us has talked to any of them.

Eh? I'm Swedish, and have never heard of a national medical ID card? Anyway, got my first jab a week ago - and they didn't ask for any ID at all!  Well, they asked me to tell them my personal number, but I didn't have to show anything, which surprised me. 

According to British (and Swedish) media, PM Boris Johnson has stated; "that cat is dead!". Weeell, Boris, we all thought/hoped so for years - maybe it's time to remove it from your head?

There are (of course) several gardening threads on TT. I was amused at how this one "ended". https://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/topic/164590-gardening/?page=6

@MikeMelgaI still stand by what I replied earlier. One household=your own, meet with one persone outside of that. 

But but, that would be a murder of crows!

@john g. It seems that Fraufruit is concerned that they will pose a threat to her compromised immune system if they don't get vaccinated. And quite rightly so. What they believe about covid - 19 is neither here nor there in this aspect..

@emkay I remember those ads, and I remember being flummoxed that they were for double glazing. In Sweden we were putting in quadruple window panes at the time

Oh, poor dear!

I read it as one person outside of your hosehold.
