My simple Scandinavian summer /silent vlog Norway

My summer holiday is finally here and I'm enjoying every second of it. This week: Breakfast with Marilyn Monroe, Mochi's first time on a boat, a trip to a small island (Gressholmen), An encounter with a cat and a present for my inner child.

[@juanjoerrea199]

My wife and I have been watching (and loving) your videos for a while, but we had not decided to comment until today. We love your sensitivity, your ability to see the beauty in small things, and your affection towards the kid with glasses who spent hours in the library. You sound so relatable. Please continue making such great videos.

[@introvert-and-dog]

Something about your love filled comment moved me a lot. It's nice to know you and your wife are watching together somewhere in the world and enjoying my videos. That is truly amazing! We don't know each other, but are still somehow connected through our shared love for the beauty of small things.

[@juanjoerrea199]

We feel very touched by your sweet reply. We could not help clapping when we saw the beautiful toy you got for your inner child. Your initial embarrassment is really understandable, we have been taught we have to be serious and efficient. It is admirable how you could overcome it. a@@introvert-and-dog

What a positive and encouraging comment ❤❤❤❤

[@SassyPieHole999]

I’m in bed, on the island, with a pot of Earl grey, two kittens asleep on my legs and I’m absolutely basking in the delight of a wave of Gymnopédies, Mochi, wild geraniums and carbohydrate. I was winding down for the end but who knew that instead I should have been winding up? The end made my heart soar and the tears came. They’re still here. I can hardly see to type. I had no idea what was in the beautifully wrapped green package. I had no idea what was in the cigar box, but when you opened it, my intake of breath left the whole Island without oxygen. And then, as I tried to recover, you put the sleep masks on and settled them down to sleep and truly I felt as though my heart might burst with love. I’m SO full of emotion right now. Can you tell? 😊 You are an incredibly talented storyteller. Incredible. The way you weave in and out, returning to old stories, giving us a glimpse to remind us? It keeps us invested. We feel a part of it.I feel a part of it and to feel that way is a real privilege. You have such a wonderful skill - pausing for ‘the cat eye’ was genius - absolute genius. I’m SO glad I found you. ❤

[@introvert-and-dog]

Another fantastic vlog! Beautiful scenery and nature as always. I love the little noises Mochi makes when she eats; she’s just too cute! Glad you decided to indulge the child in you with the mice. My favorite book as a kid involved a mouse - “Stuart Little.” My sister read it to me and did voices for the different characters. I ended up buying a copy a few years ago because it was a happy memory. Have a great week! 🐭🐁🐶

[@introvert-and-dog]

How wonderful of your sister to read for you in different voices! I love that. I loved to be read for too as a kid. And yes- Mochi's sounds are adorable. Actually, everything she does is cute😂

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

I've read 'Stuart Little' by E. B. White, and also 'The Mouse and the Motorcycle' by Beverly Cleary. Those books made childhood magical!

[@desh7120]

What a beautiful (reflective) Vlog - absolutely precious in every way! 🫶🏻 Being introduced to the shy, gentle, bespectacled little boy you were, intuiting his self doubts (?), having his early passion for reading confirmed, and hearing how he would have delighted in escaping into an imaginary world with Mr & Mrs Mouse, I wish I could have hugged him as well and assured him he was in the process of growing up to be quite an amazing, empathetic, confident man who would touch the lives of countless people all around the world - and that he would find love with an equally wonderful man and one day be a Dad to the most beautiful little puppy imaginable! I’m so pleased you bought him that charming gift. Watching you unwrapping it so carefully with your adorable little Princess taking it all in so attentively, was really touching! Thank you for entrusting your story with us! I have recently begun wearing an eye mask at bedtime, just as those two very cute little mice are doing. Princess Mochi’s many attributes just cannot get any better, nor could she be any cuter or more endearing - and yet, they do and she does, every.single.week! She truly is an incredibly special puplet and I could write pages, praising her! You have and are raising her superbly! Not only is she endearingly beautiful (especially those EYES!), she is spunky, confident, well balanced, extremely intelligent, intuitive, gentle, obedient, patient and completely adorable. I loved watching her pass her obedience training for the cheese tax with flying colours! She is SO GOOD!!! The lucky lady whose lap she joyfully leapt into at the Cafe must have been delighted to have met such a lovable, joyful, enthusiastic angel. Watching Mochi doing her utmost to entice that cat to play was wonderful, but such a shame it refused to oblige at all! As you can tell, I am besotted with her 😂 Would you consider getting a kitten as a sibling for Mochi? I thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip and the lovely walk around Gressholmen Island. The beautiful sights and sounds were a treat as always. So very relaxing and soothing (the water lapping against the shoreline, the rustling leaves of the Birch trees in the steady breeze). Thank you for sharing your magic with us!

[@introvert-and-dog]

Thank you for your big hug of a comment, it really moved me. And as usual, your love for our little princess is wonderful, i can feel your affection and appreciation for her all the way from South Africa! She really is a funny and good dog. I'm happy I can take her with me on public transportation, that way we can experience many things together and bond. I'm sure Mochi would have jumped right onto your lap as well. She lights up immediately when someone says hello. She starts wagging her tail, and demands cuddles! Which most people happily give her. Now if only cats were that friendly with her😂 The reason we haven't seriously considered a kitty, is that we live on the 6th floor. I would have loved to have a garden to let the cat come and go as it pleased. PS- The fact that you just started using an eye mask like the cute mouse couple made me smile! Also: Thank you also for your many comments in here, it contributes to a very nice and uplifting atmosphere- And boy do we need that on the internet! It's wonderful to have this little friendly community! Love from Oslo ❤️

[@desh7120]

⁠@@introvert-and-dog Ah, I see that your apartment wouldn’t be ideal for a cat. Living on the sixth floor certainly does complicate things. You really have attracted a wonderful following, Mr I. So kudos to you! I hope you’re having a lovely late afternoon/early evening - I hadn’t realised we are in the same time zone, but of course, whereas you are enjoying lengthy, summer days, our winter days are very short. In fact, our automatic garden lights have just switched on. Please give that beautiful girl an extra special cuddle from me. I know she is showered with loving cuddles, but if you can squeeze in an extra one from me, please do so 😊 Me.

[@introvert-and-dog]

@desh7120 I didn’t know we are in the same time zone, that’s interesting! I hope you have a peaceful week. Till next time! Oh and I gave Mochi a cuddle from you- I think it’s safe to say you are her greatest fan in South Africa! 🤩

Hi to Mochi and dads. Such a lovely beginning to my weekend. I tell anyone who'll care to listen, never lose your inner child. If you stop nourishing it one will soon grow old, angry and will quickly wither away miserable. Maybe if dads are up to it, Mochi can have a kitten to love and look after. Loved the visit to your home and the darling island. My "kids" love ferry rides too.

[@introvert-and-dog]

Very wise words about never losing your inner child I try to live by that. ❤️

[@desh7120]

I also wondered if a kitten could be added to this little family of three 😉 Can you imagine Mochi’s utter amazement and joy. She’d be the most attentive Mom and love the kitten to the moon and back.

What a lovely island day! 🐶☀️The music of Erik Satie was a pleasant choice. Keeping your inner child Happy, is a great thing to do! ✨☺️✨

[@melissalane-q7m]

My favorite! Because of the emphasis on nature: the lapping of the waves against the shore, the wind rustling the leaves, the meandering trail, the dappled sunlight through the leaves, etc. Pure magic!!! Mochi seeing the cat made me burst out in laughter! So much fun, and I laughed and laughed! Then the surprise of your gift to child you. Mochi sniffing trying to determine the box’s contents. I squealed, yes, really squealed with delight when the 2 creatures donned their sleeping masks and lay down for the night! 100% pure, solid magic! The emphasis on nature was what first stood out to me in this video. But as I reflected on it, your treatment of other parts were just as important and special. Thank you for sharing your magic with us! Once again, you’ve reconnected me to the beauty and wonder of the universe.

[@introvert-and-dog]

Thanks for your kind words. So happy you enjoyed this weeks video. I enjoyed filming it! And the cat scene made me laugh too. Mochi was extra enthusiastic with this cat, it cracked me up the way she jumped around! And of course the nature on the island was stunning and so peaceful❤️

Another beautiful video, thank you. I loved everything about it, the nature, the sea, Mochi enjoying the ferry ride, playing with the cat, eating the cheese treat. I love how you care for Mochi, you're a good doggy dad, giving her adventures and the freedom to smell the roses and to go at her pace. You take better care of her than many parents do of their children. It was so emotional to see you gift yourself something you would've loved as a child. You're inspiring me to also seek out my inner child and give her the love and hugs that she didn't always get. You truly have a gift for lifting people's spirits with your videos. I want to live more like you and enjoy the simple things in life and to slow down and smell the roses. I have my two cats but if I were to ever get a dog, I would want one like Mochi, animals bring so much joy into your life. Enjoy your summer holidays and take it easy. ♥🌺🌼🌻🐞🐝🐶🐱❤

[@introvert-and-dog]

It's nice that you can share your life with two cats, that sounds wonderful. And you are right, animals bring a lot of joy to our lives. Mochi is my first dog ever, and I have really learnt to slow down and enjoy life more because of her. As long as she is here on this earth, I want to give her the best life possible ❤️ I hope you can take care of your inner child. I learnt that it is important also to not forget to have fun and be silly. Children (and animals) are so good at living in the moment and being joyful. As we get older, we sometimes forget to enjoy life, unfortunately. Thank you for your love filled comment, I really appreciate it. Love from Oslo ❤️

I did look for information about the cake 🍩. It's typical Norwegian and it's so called because it was put in school meals as a dessert and was also sold at bake sales (I guess to raise funds, for something). In any case, it looks delicious 😋

Mochi is so well behaved. The moment with the cat made me laugh and the look on the cats face said it all 😂. I know what you mean about school. I too was the kid in the library hoping someone would tell me everything would be fine. As a 47 year old adult i still get that wish sometimes. Another great video .👍

What a nice start to your summer holiday. Norway or at least Oslo seems to be very dog friendly as you are able to take her on buses and boats. I know a lot of places will only allow a dog if it's in a carrier of some kind on public transit unless it's a service dog. Have a great vacation.

[@introvert-and-dog]

Yes, Oslo is quite dog friendly, I'm so happy because we don't have a car, so it's nice to be able to take Mochi on public transportation and many public spaces.

..... what if you also adopted a kitten? ☺️ I always had a cat and a dog for years, great combination.... Good morning Oslo, Berlin here!!! What wonderful places, so much nature and tranquillity in these pictures.... And what about Marilyn? I too loved the films of years gone by, then I don't know why, out of melancholy I can no longer watch them... Years ago, my mother also told me this, I didn't understand her reaction, but now I feel the same... The two little mice are wonderful 😍 But I think it's time to wake them up and let them enjoy life 😂❤️ Have a wonderful weekend ❤️🤍💚

[@introvert-and-dog]

Hello Berlin! I laughed, it reminds me of Eurovision when they give out the points in the end. Hello Berlin, this is Oslo calling 😂 I understand your feeling about melancholy and old movies. Sometimes things are so beautiful and full of memory it hurts, and it's better not to watch. Ah yes the cute mice! I think when I have time in the mornings I will wake them up and take off their sleeping masks. You actually inspired me in a small way to buy them. Because I noticed you have these little decorations in your home, like the pink pig ect. So I thought it is so important never to let the child inside die. It's OK to love fun stuff even if we are adults! ❤️

[@CookWalkSweet]

@@introvert-and-dog Eurovision? Cool!!! And I give Oslo '10 points' und '10 coeurs' And what does Oslo give Berlin? 😂 Please don't tell me! 😂 You did very well to buy those wonderful little mice. Bravo!!! Are we adults? Maybe you, me only on the identity papers! (What a ridiculous joke 🤦🏻‍♀️) A hug 🥰

Omg. Mochi is a real "rockstar" so loved by everyone on this channel. I wish my cat Roque behaved as well as her, he appeared one day in my yard with the attitude of a beggar and now he is the Tasmania devil but I love him the same. How peaceful and comforting that walk through the Island, a peace of paradise on earth. The same thing happens to me as it does to you when I pass in front of what was my primary school, the happy memories crowd disordely in my mind and I feel a slight oppression in my chest, as a mourning for that time that will never return. Well Mr.I ( can I call you ike that?), here 2.25 a.m., -2° C / 28,2° F, but right now I'm going to prepare a toasted bread with cheese, similar to yours, which looked irresistible on the screen. My mouth is watering. Until next time. Super thumb up.

[@introvert-and-dog]

Wow, you are up so late! And it's quite chilly where you are, I must say. Hope you have a nice blanket or duvet to keep you warm and toasty. Mochi is definitely a star, she charms everyone, rightly so, as she is a princess 😂 You can definitely call me Mr. I ❤️ Hugs from Oslo!
