I love simplicity and silence. On this blog I share bits and pieces from my daily life. In late 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Since July 2024 I've been doing resistance training to help me maintain my independence as I age. Almost 71, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
Dutch Cities Are Building These Tiny Staircases to Help Cats Exit Their Canals:
Two cities in the Netherlands are mounting tiny staircases on the sides of their canals to help cats escape if they fall in the water.
Between the capital of Amsterdam and a smaller city called Amersfoort, there could be over 500 tiny staircases along the canals by the end of the year.
