I am 5.7 and female but most females here are 5.9 or taller. It's a tall country.

I wonder how they got so tall?
You know you like picnics when you start packing the hamper three days ahead of time.

Hi to everyone. Sorry that I've disappeared again. My beautiful elderly tabby cat went to Rainbow Bridge on 4th July. Every day spent with her these past few years has been precious. I miss her muscling in to use my laptop or to speak to people I'm on the phone to. I miss her cuddles, and her curling up on my lap. I miss her warmth. I miss waking up in the morning and finding her snuggling up with me. I am heartbroken, and it's still very raw. R.I.P. Polly 1997-2019.
@Elawin - what a lovely girl! I'm very sorry to hear that you're furry friend has passed on. It's never easy.
Having been there (and about to be there again), all I can say is, give it whatever time it needs, but it does get better over time. When we first lost our dog Molly in 2004, I didn't think I or the wife would ever get through it. Everything reminded us of her.
Over time, though, we were able to focus less on her passing, and more on all the good memories we had of her, and now, 15 years later, even though we've raised another dog (who's still with us), we still think of Molly nearly every day, and I'm pleased to say, it's almost always with smiles.
You'll get there. You won't think you will, but you will. Time moves forward regardless, and that's a good thing. Just give yourself all of it you need, and be happy that you obviously did an excellent job providing a good home and companionship to Polly, and that you provided her a good life while here.
Peace in the meantime. Take care.

Honestly I don't know, our history teacher at school said it was a combination of dairy consumption and viking DNA.
Wanted to post a link but can't because I have not been registered for 14 days. Anyway google 'why are dutch people so tall' and you will see a The Guardian article pop up with scientific explanations.
I'm so sad for you. I've been hearing about dear Polly's exploits for a long time now. She was a great age for a cat and had a loved life.
Thanks!

It's all mowed!
No, that's our house. My wife likes to eat outside quite a bit, but I don't, so we compromise and do so a couple of times a week, either on the front porch or the back deck.
We'll be going into the city for a museum visit on Friday and have our picnic in a nearby city park.
