G'evening, Nice Timers! It's a little later than I'd normally be talking to you. Bearcat has settled in for the night. I made a new bed out of the branches that poke through the treehouse window the other day, but Bearcat prefers to sleep in the big box our fridge came in. Abigail's fine with that. She's taken the enormous bed all to herself, adding twigs to it to make it look like a fort. Speaking of twigs and nests, it's time for a story.

Kevin the Kakapo

Kevin had never built a nest before but he felt like it was something he really should do. He'd look around at the nests other birds had made and he'd love them and be in awe of them, but there was a little nugget deep inside him that felt like maybe he could make a pretty good nest too. Every now and then he'd talk about it with his bird pals.

"I think I'd like to build a nest some day," he'd say.
"So do it," Nigel the Sparrow would reply.
"Yeah. I don't know how I'd go about it exactly, though," Kevin would say.
"You won't figure out until you give it a go," Pippin the Robin would reply.
"I guess," Kevin will say.
"Well, to heck with you. If you won't even try, I've got no more advice for you, "Johnson the Magpie would reply.

Kevin kept thinking about making a nest for weeks and months and then eventually one day he just decided to heck with it. I'm going to make a nest. So he gathered together what twigs and leaves and bits of garbage he could see and fashioned them into the best nest he could. It wasn't great, but it was definitely a nest, and what he had learned while building it would mean he'd make an even better nest the next time he tried. Kevin was content and sat in his dodgy nest, the happiest he had been for a long time.

The end.

Hi! It's Elyce again! Abigail got overexcited, I guess, because she's just fallen asleep right on top of the laptop keyboard. It looks like she's done the newsletter? I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt, because it's real late. Also, she is the President of the Nice Times Club, so technically I'm not allowed to delete anything she writes. I am going to give you some more links, though, because there's a 97% chance that those are all links to videos of quails on YouTube.

Here is my new favourite video

Here is another video that is also super excellent

Here is a great new album you can listen to

Here is a story about manatees

That's all the Nice Times for this week, gang! Thanks for visiting!
Until next time, may the majority of your times be nice times.

Elyce x
(Vice President and Nonsense Wrangler of the Nice Times Club)
