Autumn in corona times
Dealing with crazy times Like lots of people all over the globe we are trying to deal with these crazy times. A new lockdown and the second wave are about to hit us in the Netherlands. We are grateful that we made the move back home and into our new house only months before the pandemic started. A good time to go through the archives and work on the website. With all travel plans suspended we...
3irds go beaching along the river Elbe
"Pooh, great to be away from the house, always busy, always things to do. It is too hot to move anyway. Summer in the city! Great that we have the river. Ah, look at that nice boot. Come on Little bird, relax, enjoy!" "Funny Bird, you can't just leave our friend there. This is not funny. He will melt. You have to help me dig him out again! Where is Duvel when we need him? At least he would have...
Duvel and the 3irds celebrate the one-day-winter
"Whoa, snow. I love it. Much better than all that rain. Not to mention the stupid toweling afterwards. Come on Funny Bird, throw that snowball, I want to chaaaaaaaaase it! No, not too high. Yes, like that..." "Duvel, I am cold. We have been doing this for hours. I want to go home and eat. Then I would like to have a nice nap under a pile of blankets. Look at my poor bird friends, they are...
Duvel und die 3 Vögel essen Leberwurstkekse beim Friseur
"Duvel, bist du krank?" "Nein, aber lass mich bloss in Ruhe! Meine Trimm-Frau pflückt schon seit einer Stunde an mir rum. Manchmal versuche ich sie mit Schmusen von der Arbeit abzuhalten, aber das klappt auch nicht immer. Jetzt ist sie kurz weg und ich versuche ein bisschen zu schlafen. Ist ja toll, diesen alten Mantel auszuziehen, aber irgendwann habe ich keinen Bock mehr. Meinen Bart will sie...
Duvel and the 3irds dance with the leaves
"Duvel, these leaves are like golden snow, not as cold though. Swirly and floaty, nice and fluffy. Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground. Jupeeee, I am dancing with the leaves! "Silly bird. Yes, let's run. Maybe I can hunt some squirrels, a there goes a fuzzy tail. Quick, before the boss catches me. She feels sorry for the little tree rats. Bugger, that squirrel is much too...
Duvel and the 3irds keep on digging
"Duvel, stop this stupid digging of yours! It is too hot to dig. I am trying to enjoy my shade and you keep on ploughing sand into my face. Why don’t you go swimming?" "Funny Bird, I will not go swimming, I never swim. You are so selfish. Look at you, you are alone under that parasol. Poor little bird is nearly melting in the sun. And where is big bird? Oops, I must have buried him." "No problem...
Verlagshund Duvel auf Wanderschaft
Verlagshund Duvel liebt das Wandern. Da ist man den ganzen Tag unterwegs und kommt keine Langeweile auf. Die Murmeltiere sind allerdings halb so wild. Sie machen zwar viel Lärm, rennen aber nicht weg. Deshalb springt bei Duvel ein Glück der Jagdinstinkt nicht an. Hunde die versuchen die Murmel auszugraben sollen schwere Verwundungen an der Nase davongetragen haben, autsch! Kühe machen nach wie...
