A little snooze after a long day at work.
I then watched three episodes of 'The Handmaid's Tale' back to back, and had nightmares all night.

Pretty Hungarian actress Lili Muráti (1914-1963) appeared in nearly 40 films between 1935 and 1995. She was a leading star of the Hungarian cinema in the 1930s. Her role in David Lean’s Dr. Zhivago (1965) became the subject of an urban legend.
Lili Muráti was born in 1914, in Nagyvárad, Austria-Hungary (now Hungary). At 16, she made her stage debut. One of her first film roles was the title role in the romantic comedy A Csunya Lany/A Plain Girl (Bela Gaal, Hermann Kosterlitz aka Henry Koster, 1935), which was more or less remade by Marion Davies as Ever Since Eve (Lloyd Bacon, 1937). Next Lili starred in another romantic comedy, Einok Kisasszony/Miss President (Endre Marton aka Andrew Marton, 1935), as a headstrong girl who inherits the ownership of a textile plant. In both films and also in several later films she starred with Paul Javor, who was sometimes billed as the Hungarian Clark Gable. Popular films followed like the comedy 120-As Tempo/80-Mile Speed (László Kardos, 1937) and the musical farce Fizessen, nagysád!/Pay Up, Madam (Ákos Ráthonyi, 1937). These films made Lili Muráti one of the greatest film stars of Hungary. Internationally the Hungarian films did very well, e.g. in 1937, Hungary stood in fourth place in America’s film import. Fourteen Hungarian films were shown in theatres in the USA that year. After the Nazis took over in Austria-Hungary she also worked in German language productions as Was Geschah in Dieser Nacht (Theo Lingen, 1941). She appeared mainly in Hungarian productions like Házasság (1942), Megálmodtalak/I Dreamt You (1943) and Egy nap a világ (1944), written and directed by her husband Johann von Vásáry, who also wrote the scripts for several other films starring his wife.
After the war, Lili Muráti left Hungary in 1947 and moved to Spain in 1948. There she became a popular comedy actress on stage. From 1964 on, she also appeared in film comedies like Playa de Formentor/Beach of Formentor (Germán Lorente, 1964) with Gabriele Tinti, and Escala En Tenerife/Stop in Tenerife (León Klimovsky, 1964). The next year she became the subject of one of the most famous film urban legends (as retold on IMDb and other sources). Lili played the woman with a baby who tries to jump onto a train in Dr. Zhivago (David Lean, 1965). She fell during the take. Legend has it that the woman had her legs badly damaged, and even would have amputated her legs in the fall. Director David Lean would have kept the scene in and the filming would have continued. In fact, David Lean biographer Kevin Brownlow discovered that Muráti wasn’t severely hurt and came back several weeks later to do the scene again. Brownlow relied on letters of Murati when writing his biography of the great director. She continued her film career with supporting parts in Spanish and international productions like Carola de día, Carola de noche/Carola By Day, Carola By Night (Jaime de Armiñán, 1969) starring Marisol, Encrucyada Para Una Monja/A Nun at the Crossroads (Julio Buchs, 1970) with Rosanna Schiaffino, the erotic Les belles au bois dormantes/Versatile Lovers (Pierre Chenal, 1970) with Marisa Mell, Proceso a Jesús/Jesus’ Process (José Luis Sáenz de Heredia, 1974), the erotic thriller Die Insel der tausend Freuden/The Island of 1000 Delights (Hubert Frank, 1978) with Olivia Pascal, the horror comedy La Momia Nacional/The National Mummy (José Larraz, 1980) and the avant-garde film Diario De Invierno/Winter Diary (Francisco Regueiro, 1988) with Fernando Rey. She also appeared in several Spanish tv series. Her last film appearance was in the Hungarian TV documentary, Mint csúnya lány nagyon helyes voltam (1994), in which she was interviewed about her life and career. Lili Muráti died in 2003, in Madrid, Spain, at age 92. She was married to writer-director Johann von Vásáry till his death in 1963.

15 year old polar bear female (Ursus maritimus), named "Tatqiq" taking a short time-out from Snow Day at Polar Bear Plunge, San Diego Zoo.
Polar bears can sleep 7-8 hours at a stretch. They also take naps just about anywhere and any time - it helps them conserve energy.
Black-naped Orioles enjoy a wide menu of plants and animals. They are fond of fruit and berries, particularly figs. Besides large insects, they also take small animals, including nestlings. For this reason, during the breeding season of other birds, Black-naped Orioles are often chased away by other birds.
Black-naped Orioles rarely descend to the ground. They forage high in trees and usually say within the canopy. Nevertheless, they are not birds of the deep forest. Originally from coastal woodlands and mangroves, they have adapted to cultivated areas and parks and gardens.
Black-naped Orioles usually forage alone or in pairs. They are most active in the morning and evenings, making their melodious calls as they forage.
I found this cat napping on the outdoor tables of a quiet cafe in Valetta, Malta.
