I'm glad to know you're feeling happy. I remember seeing your posts on another channel before, but it's only here on Hive where I've read you in recent years.

Beautiful photos. I like dockside spots, although I admit I don't even know how to swim (personal laugh). Maybe it's because of the memories I have of my grandfather's family, who were islanders.

I didn't know you smoked. I rarely smoke, but I have. I tend to avoid smoking out of stress because in my family we tend to get hooked on tobacco if we do. Instead, I usually smoke a Havana cigar when I'm celebrating something.

It's good to know that taking some time in that environment helped you clear your mind. By the way, Happy Birthday (even if my greeting is belated on my part).

I'm happy to see Gigi's photos. She's a photogenic pet (personal smile, increasing cuteness level). Although I admit that being a difficult photo model is something I've seen happen with several pets.

Anime and Netflix series are a shared interest. The animated film you mentioned is quite intensely dramatic, set against the backdrop of the post-war period. I tend to have lighter tastes, but I know there are productions for all tastes. It's like the question of film genres: there's comedy, horror, romance, drama, and many more.

I hope you're well, and that everything gets better for everyone.
