@@introvert-and-dog If you haven't seen it already, I recommend watching the Disney movie "Soul." It delves into what the meaning of life ought to be for everyone. Spoiler, I think you got it precisely correct in your vlog ("to just try to be happy & grateful to be here")! I don't think life should be more complicated than that. Just being a kind, good person in whichever way you can & surrounding yourself with people who bring out the best in you :)
I don’t know what made you decide to start a RUclips channel, I’m just truly grateful you did! Your vlogs are beautiful, interesting, detailed and, of course, super cute 🐶.
That moment captured by your camera and shared with us, of intertwined hands and Mochi on your lap Mr. I, is exactly one of those moments where all the meanings meet. Because today is the best day of all to be happy, to be grateful, to appreciate the small things that make our lives great and the big things that remind us how small we are. Today is the best day and not tomorrow because tomorrow is right now. Sometimes we never know we are in the good old days until they have already happened. The motto of my life: "It's down, which is not a small feat". Thanks so much gentle soul for sharing an Oslo dressed in autumn and your deep thoughts so full of meaning.
Beautifully crafted comment as always, thank you! I shall meditate a little on your gentle words. Yes, today is the best day of all to be happy, to be grateful. I hope you are well, sending you lots of love from Oslo ❤️
Mochi is such a sweetheart. Beautiful, adorable girl. She truly got the best, loving parents who genuinely care for her very much. Mr. Introvert and Mochi have fun, enjoy your adventures in lovely, peaceful city. 🐕🐶🥰😍💫💜💜💜💜
I love everything about your videos but especially the details you capture (the raindrops in the leaves, the city lights in the puddles...)! You are truly a beautiful soul! A warm hug from a friend who loves you so much!❤
Dear me, the loveliness of Oslo and Mochi and now Metaphysics 101! I can't cope. Frankly, the blow-up bath was seriously weird, but each to his own, no doubt. How do you fully dry it afterwards? I do wonder what Mr J thinks of this gizmo. I see you use Flora which we of course have here. However, I never deny myself butter (and whole milk and full-fat cheese) on a daily basis. Life is too short - believe me, at 75 - to constantly attend to one's health (unless, of course, there is good reason to do so). I also find autumn beautiful, if melancholic. I'm struck where I live in the Midlands how many people passing by my bungalow are not looking around, but with their faces in their phones, even while walking their dogs. Excuse me, I've rattled on. That's what happens when you find a gem of a channel. Robert, uk.
Hello Robert in the UK- your comment made me smile. Especially the part where you wonder what Mr. J thinks of the inflatable bath. Well, he thinks it's weird, and won't ever use it, but he accepts it and says, "oh well, if it makes you happy" 😂 After use, I put it up against the wall, the next day it's dry, and I let the air out, and put it away. It is a bit of work, but I was missing soaking in a tub so much, so for me, it's worth it 😋 Ps, interesting that you have the same brand of margarine, Flora in the UK! I LOVE butter, but in the mornings, I don't have the patience to wait for it to soften up...
It is a cool and sunny morning here in Warsaw and I am sitting with my coffee, watching your video. I don’t know why we are here on earth, but in moments like these it seems to be worth it. Thank you so much for sharing your life, I hope you never stop. ❤
I really needed to watch this today, after feeling anxious and stressed. I love your wonderful, calming videos with the cutest ever Mochi. Appreciate the philosophical insights too, so please include some philosophy in your videos, whenever possible. Thank you for the peace you provide 🥰
I appreciate your comment- and I'm happy to hear my video brought you a little joy today. Also, I'm glad to hear you liked my philosophical thoughts, I was a little afraid I would bore people! Love from Oslo ❤️
My favorite Saturday morning routine has become drinking a hot cup of tea and spending time with you and Mochi enjoying the "simple things" of life, exploring Oslo, and Nature. I wish I could have watched your videos growing up as an introvert and highly sensitive person, so it wouldn't have been such a struggle, fighting my true nature and trying to fit in with extroverts and an often so overwhelming world. Thank you for making your videos, and I hope you will do so for a long time! Warm Greetings.
You’re right, that’s what I have learnt as well, we are far more similar, than dissimilar.…. Millions of people would be content to have the joy of an ordinary, uncomplicated life like you espouse, as your subscribers have confirmed and validated in their droves …, Thank you for sharing your beautiful girl and your “ordinary” life with those of us who enjoy the “beauty in the ordinary” …… Much love, Judy, Rockingham, Western Australia 🇦🇺🥰🇳🇴
Another Saturday morning and another video of sweet Mochi. I love how, when you’re walking with her, every now and then she stops to look back and check on you! The very best tour guide ever! Thank you again for your early Saturday morning treats. I’m very grateful
I love how Mochi turns around to check on me too! We never trained her to do that, so it's extra sweet. Happy and honored to be part of your Saturday morning rutine! 🐶💫❤️
I’ve come to a realization after watching your vlog. You mentioned how autumn tends to bring out the “philosopher” in you, and make you more reflective. I find myself being the same way. I grew up in a place with 4 seasons, and autumn/winter months always made me slow down and be more reflective. However, the past couple years my husband and I have been living in Saigon, Vietnam, where it is hot all year long. We’ve come to feel restless and sick of the city here, and I just realized that perhaps it’s because we don’t get that seasonal change that allows us to feel that sense of time to think. Life always feels fast here, barely getting an opportunity to take a breath (and even when you do, it’s often polluted 😢). I’ve newly discovered your vlogs, which I feel can help me to remember to take that time to slow down a little, and serve as a motivation to get us back to a place where we can have our 4 seasons that we miss oh so much .
Interesting to hear that the change in seasons also made you more reflective. How interesting that you are living in Vietnam with your husband. I can imagine that it's very different weather wise if you're used to four distinct seasons! It's actually a funny coincidence, because I have Vietnamese roots. I've lived in Norway my whole life, but I've been to Vietnam, and have loved traveling around the country. If I was ever to live there, I think I would go for Dalat or Danang. I can understand that Saigon feels hectic. And of course there is the pollution as you mention. But then again, you have the amazing food and friendly, outgoing people. Anyway, I'm happy you enjoy my vlogs!
Ahhhh my heart is so happy ❤ Beautiful city sights, adorable Mochi, cozy bath time, warm fuzzy sweaters, and to top it all off, one of my favorite shows, the Golden Girls! I feel like we are all best friends haha❤ cannot thank you enough for these precious videos and reminders 🙏🏻 So many hugs from NYC to you all!
Hello! Your comments always make me smile! I've been listening to your music on Spotify on my morning commute. It's such a nice way to start the day. Classical music is wonderful and timeless. And you are very talented! "Thank you for being a friend!" 💓😄
Que lindo viaje por esos paisajes otoñales......árboles caducos que simbolizan el ciclo de la vida y la muerte, en los jardines japoneses. Yo tambien pienso lo bendecida que soy gozando de buena salud y disfrutando de la vida simple. Como pasear con mi perro Tao, o cuidar mis plantas del jardín. Que tengas un buen fin de semana y cariños para Mochi..!!
I loved reading your beautifully written comment. Good health- yes that is one of the most important things in life! Easy to forget. Big hug from us to you and your dog Tao 🐶💫❤️
I love The Golden Girls. Especially Dorothy, Bea Arthur. I meditate and journal. Gratefulness is a big part of meditation. It keeps you humble. I'm grateful I live now. With the modern technology that makes your delightful video's possible to watch all over the world. Merry Christmas. ❤ from rainy Amsterdam
Dorothy and her mother Sophia are my favorites.😄 Your view on life sounds similar to mine. It's a good way to live, I think. Love from Oslo to Amsterdam ❤️
I've recently discovered your wonderful vlogs and am especially interested as I will be visiting Norway next year. The music you choose fits perfectly with the rainy scenes and your thoughts on the meaning of life. I'm afraid I've reached my late 70's and I still don't know the answer!! Thank you and love to dear Mochi ❤
It's comforting to know that you haven't figured out the meaning of life, means I'm not alone! Hope you will have a wonderful time in Norway next year! 😄
A bathtub that fits inside a wardrobe! That's just the next level genius! The end was so cute! It probably feels amazing to have those hands to hold on to!
Your vlogs are infused with a joy and gratitude for the wonder of being part of this vast universe: the mysteries, the miracles and the magic of our transient existence here on planet Earth. I do feel that when we carry positive energy in ourselves, this permeates through us, and has ripple effects beyond what we can know. This is what you are doing with your vlogs...A very worthwhile and meaningful contribution to humanity.
Thank you for these words, dear friend. I try to meet the world with a sense of wonder...because in a way every day is a miracle, and this word...even though there is a lot of darkness and hate, there is also so many amazing things. Big hug from Oslo ❤️
Mochi er så sød! Vores hund har boet hos os i 9 år, og vi er glade hver dag for, at han er her. Det var en dejlig og afslappet video. Mange hilsner fra Danmark til Norge
Tão linda Mochi. Senti saudade do meu 🐕 neste momento, ele se foi há alguns dias... é tanto amor que recebemos deles que não tem como não amá-los também. ❤
Another heart warming video ❤I love everything..the raindrops on the window of the bus the streets on a rainy evening, the music ..the peaceful home images .. Mochi so cuuuute 🐶❤Thanks ! 😍🫶🏻❤️🙏
Mochi is so charming tax collector😍 I have one like that at home too. We have a cheese tax, an apple tax, a veggie tax, and even a potato tax😂 Thank you so much for such a cozy vlog. Today I caught myself thinking that many of your words resonate with me. The love for simple and understandable things, for an ordinary yet cozy life, and the ability to see beauty everywhere - that’s what immediately drew me to your vlogs and made me look forward to new ones every Saturday. I sincerely want to thank you for your wonderful videos that can warm the viewer’s soul💗 My friends recommended that type of bathtub to me as well. We also have a very small bathroom with only a shower. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy a bath because Chester loves water! In our previous apartment, we had a bathtub, and he didn’t want to leave it😅 He would lie down and splash around in the water🥰 So I don’t even remember the last time I cozied up in the bath with a book and tea. Looks like my comment turned out to be endless😆 Chester and I wish you a wonderful weekend, and we’ll see you in the next vlogs🤗🤗🤍🤍
@kristy_chester I had to laugh over the fact that you also have a tax collector. I can imagine Chester collecting a lot of taxes! 😂 Mochi doesn't like apples or most veggies. She just spits them out. Haha. But of course cheese, meat and other human foods are always welcome... How different dogs are- they are like humans really. Each with their own personality. I can see that you would not be left alone in the tub if Chester loves water. It's so sweet, really. Princess Mochi on the other hand does not like to get wet. Every time I'm in the shower and she hears the sound of water, she runs! 😂 Last night it was raining, and Mr. J took her out, and when they came to the door, she turned around with a disgusted look saying "Are you kidding me?!? Hope you are having a wonderful autumn weekend in Poland, dear friend! The internet has many dark sides, but I'm happy that there are also many, many bright sides filled with love and light, like your lovely vlog 💓😄
@@introvert-and-dog Your stories made me laugh too. Mochi’s reaction to water, including rain, is so cute 🥰 As for Chester, he gets so excited when we walk in the rain. He doesn’t miss a single puddle. Sometimes he even speeds up and dives straight into the puddle. And in the summer, when Chester was staying with my friend, he just walked into a puddle and lay down in it, refusing to come out. My friend had to lure him out with treats😆 Dear friend, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m also grateful to RUclips for helping me meet so many kind, interesting people like you🤍🤗
Always a simple yet truly meaningful narrative ❤Thankyou . I love the way you tie the beginning and end together perfectly. And Mochi is always the star 🌟 X
Whenever I feel stressed or my mood is low, I watch one of your Videos. They always make me feel better and I appreciate the good things in life, Most of them being free!
Oh,qué bien! Otra pequeña joya para añadir a mi colección,estoy emocionada!😊 Tus vídeos me llenan de dulzura y de calma,me hacen pensar...me fascinan! Hace un tiempo estoy aprendiendo a encontrar el sentido de mi vida: creo que se trata de mirar más allá de mí misma ,de hacer pasar un rato agradable o despertar una sonrisa de quien tenga al lado(conocido o no); tratar a los demás con el mismo cariño que nos gustaría recibir, dedicarles siquiera unos minutos de escucha atenta, sin juzgar ni ignorar a nadie...hacer de tu compañía algo grato para los demás...eso es lo que intento cada día Tu "spa para pobres" me parece todo un acierto,me encanta👏👏🎉 Tampoco yo tengo bañera completa,pero,por suerte,los spas de aguas termales abundan en mi isla y son totalmente asequibles para todos los públicos(me refiero al coste); suelo pasarme en "remojo terapeútico" media jornada en los días lluviosos: es estupendo estar sumergido y caliente mientras la lluvia golpea sobre tu cabeza!😅(el agua me vuelve loca: creo que soy medio pez!🐟) Gracias por dedicarnos estas pinceladas de tu vida cotidiana y acompañarnos en los tours por tu bella ciudad(a tí y a Mochi,claro!) Un placer y un privilegio volver a verte,querido amigo! Abrazos enormes desde España❤
Dear friend, it sounds like you have a very good and healthy approach to life. It is nice to treat other people well, even though sometimes it can be challenging, because not everyone treats us nicely in return. I guess it's all part of being human. We just have to do our best. If we fail, we try again. It sounds wonderful that you have access to natural mineral baths. It must be wonderful to soak and relax there! Maybe you told me before, but I forgot, sorry, on which island do you live? 😄 Anyway, I hope you are having a peaceful Sunday! Oslo is grey and rainy today, which is beautiful in its own way. ❤️ Love from Norway to Spain
@@introvert-and-dog Me hacen mucha ilusión tus respuestas,sr.I! Que dediques tiempo a escribirla, tan extensa y detalladamente,me llena de alegría. Yo vivo actualmente en Lanzarote,una pequeña isla al suroeste de España,perteneciente al archipiélago de las Islas Canarias que están muy cerquita de Marruecos. A estas islas se las denomina "las afortunadas",debido a su fantástico clima(la temperatura oscila entre 17° y 27 ° más o menos durante todo el año,¡qué bien!🌞)y a su naturaleza alucinante: son de origen volcánico y gozan de unos paisajes y una vegetación subtropical increíbles🏜 Si alguna vez tienes oportunidad de conocerlas,te llevarás una experiencia inolvidable... Cuando te animes a venir,aquí tenéis mi casa abierta para los tres(el sr.J,el sr.I y la princesa): estaré encantada de ser vuestro guía turístico,je,je!😅 Otro abrazo grande,amigo!🥰
@@sandrukikabuki Your answer made me smile, because I was imagining how wonderful your climate is! Autumn has come to Oslo, and the summer sun has disappeared. Maybe soon we will have snow. 😄 I have heard about Lanzarote, but I have never been there. I Know it is very popular for northern Europeans to go there during the winter. I Have been to Mallorca, which was wonderful. And in mainland Spain I have been to Sevilla, Cordoba, Madrid and Granada. I think Spain is a wonderful country with great culture and people. Thank you so much for your generosity - and inviting us. I was very moved by that. I still can't believe how many nice people like you leave wonderful comments on my channel. This this time last year, I didn't even have the idea to start this channel. I was just a guy busy with his life and office job like everyone else. I'm so glad I started to make videos. I think many people long for a simple and peaceful life. We are so similar even though the outside may look very different. If you ever come to Oslo, you will have a friendly guide to show you around ❤🐶
@@introvert-and-dog 🥹🥹 Gracias,amigo,me has emocionado Apenas hace un par de meses que te descubrí y desde entonces,siento que te conozco y te quiero desde siempre☺️ Es increíble la afinidad que puedes sentir con alguien tan alejado en distancia... Afortunado el día en que te lanzaste a publicar en youtube: Nos haces felices a muchos en cualquier rincón del mundo... Por favor: no dejes de hacerlo👏👏🫶 (Te queremos y te apoyamos)
Just what i need to see today 😍 always love the way you capture the sounds of daily life , we are so used to the world noise that we forget how beautiful the simple sounds like walking steps, rain, wind, cutting the bread can be 🧡 thank you for always remind us about the simple important things! Good weekend 😊🐕
Happy you appreciate the natural sounds in my videos. I love hearing these everyday sounds. If they were gone, I would miss them so much. Hugs from Oslo ❤️
The more I watch your videos, the more you make me want to visit your city. Growing up I always said “No i ll never want to go to the north because I hate the cold” but seeing Oslo through your lens makes me actually want to visit, I love the colours, the architecture, the city looks so clean! If I ever come it will be thanks to you. It s a photographer s paradise and the colours of autumn really are marvellous. Your doggy has the best life. Thank you for sharing your world through your lens! I love your videos, it s a perfect blend of life like most people say here! Have a lovely day up north 😊
Hi and thanks for your comment, which made me smile! To be honest with you, I don't like the cold too much either, but having grown up with it, we don't have a choice, so we learn to accept it, and now as an adult, I can truly enjoy the beauty of the changes in seasons. And having these big contrasts between seasons really make you appreciate every season more, if that makes sense. Anyway, happy to hear my videos made you want to visit Oslo! PS- I saw you have a vlog too- and I want to try to make that Indo Chinese spicy chicken. It looked yummy! Thanks for sharing! And you garden, wow, as a city person, I am very envious! Could just imagine Mochi having fun running around there 😋
@@introvert-and-dog I so agree, every season is special and different each and every year. Nature is so important, yes I m in the countryside but the city is only 30 minutes away so it’s the best of both worlds. I will definitely cone to Oslo, but the first time will be in spring or Summer ahahah 😊 Mochi would love it indeed but you take good care of her and she appears to enjoy going everywhere with you! Thank you for visiting my tiny little channel, I m not as good as you. Yes do try it , it will likely surprise you. If you have any question on how to make it perfect, let me know. Have a lovely evening, 🙏🏼
I was as curious as Mochi while you were open that box. Haha..I got impressed with the spectacular colors of the leaves. The parks, the boats and the colored houses...so beautiful. Ah...and you and mr. J on the couch with princess Mochi. Have a nice week.
Haha, it was a bit of a weird thing inside the box, but I had been missing a bathtub so much, so the next best thing is an inflatable one 😂 A walk along the harbor is always nice! Especially if the sun is shining. Do you have a harbor where you live?
Lovely!!!❤ There should be an Oscar for RUclips videos; yours would win Best Picture. My husband and I love watching your videos during breakfast on Sundays. 🍞☕🐶. Cheers from 🇨🇦!!
Aww those are cute baby pics of you, Princess Mochi! I’m jealous of the cheese your dad gave you but on the other hand, my dad gave me some pepperoni from the pizza he had this evening. My dad also gets lost in his thoughts like every introvert on this planet! Sometimes I think he’s thinking serious when we should all have fun. I know when he’s with me, he relaxes a lot. Aside from being grateful, my dad makes sure he leaves the day a little better than yesterday. Your fall leaves are beautiful. It’s already starting to get chilly in the evenings and early mornings here. Anyway, I’m about to go to bed. Sweet dreams my friend! ❤ Big Boo and introvert dad
Hi Big Boo! I can't believe you got pepperoni! I love all kinds of meat! 💓 But my dads don't always give it to me, even though I do my very best to look sad and starving! I'm happy you keep your introvert dad company and remind him to have fun! Take care of yourself and your human! Love and doggy kisses from Mochi in Oslo 🐶💫❤️
@@introvert-and-dog My begging eyes and Pyr paw are my secret weapon to get what I want from my dad. He gets all weak and can’t refuse me. It’s his kryptonite!
Beautiful autumn views and deep thoughts. About two years ago I read a book about gratitude, it had exercises for each day of the month and it really makes you aware of everything you have in life. Sometimes I think that each life we live is a valuable experience in the long journey of the soul. Love from Spain ❤
I like your reflection about how each life we life is a valuable experience for the soul. Beautiful idea! Right now, I feel gratitude for connecting with so many like minded people though my vlog. There is always something to be grateful and happy for. For me right now, it is your comment and the love you send from Spain. Thank you! ❤️
I'm pulling out my winter gear too---quarter zip pullovers and blankets. I also bought some new clothes for the first time in 5, 6 or more years. It's my first time ever seeing an inflatable bathtub. A practical item for those who like soaking in warm water in winter but don't otherwise need a space-hogging permanent tub.
Dear Mr. I, this time you have asked so many deep questions about life, that I will have to think about them the whole day. Autumn just arrived in Istanbul too, so seeing similar sights made me happy. I also missed my cozy and warm clothes, so I hope I fit inside again 😅 I hope you are doing well because this time I got the feeling that you are a little bit sad and thoughtful.. Thanks for reminding to be grateful and to appreciate all the little things and see them as blessings of life. I’m also thankful for my little life and I hope that we will have the chance to experience more blessed moments. Have a nice weekend and enjoy every single moment of it. Big hugs and much love from Istanbul 🍀💕
Hello dear friend in Istanbul, I laughed reading about your concern about fitting inside your warm clothes. I have that concern too (because I love cake. Haha!) But luckily my winter sweaters are quite big and flexible 😂 I'm moved by your concern for me, thank you! I was a little blue, but that is normal for me in Autumn, when the days get darker. But I'm already feeling lighter. Much because of nice comments like yours! Hope you have a great weekend! 💓😄
Buongiorno col sorriso😊! Vedere l'ispettore del formaggio Mochi in attesa della sua tassa da riscuotere mi ha fatto sorridere 😂. L'idea della vasca gonfiabile è geniale e i tuoi scatti fotografici sempre più belli 👍. Le tue riflessioni sulla vita sono interessanti, mi chiedo se sia meglio provare rimorsi che rimpianti... Chissà. Comunque hai ragione, una coperta calda, il proprio cagnolino accanto e tenere la mano alla persona che ami seduti sul divano è una Grande Ragione di Vita. Un grande abbraccio a voi tre!!! ❤❤❤
Mochi est la vedette cette semaine❤❤ J'adore toutes vos vidéos que je savoure tous les samedi matin en prenant mon petit-déjeuner Merci pour ces moments de quiétude
@478vivi Mochi always steals the show, she is a big star! 🐶❤️ Thanks for your kinds words, I love that you are starting your Saturday watching our little life in Oslo 😄
Thank you so much for making these videos. I truly appreciate it. They are like a hug to me. Please keep making them for as long as you can. Once again thank you! Hugs from Indianapolis.
The greyness of autumn is a beautiful background for the patches of intense leaf colours. In addition, streaks of warm light, softening the contours. In these extraordinary frames, sweet Mochi, so immaculately white, presents itself noble. Aren't her ears fleshy and velvety to the touch? I also like to watch people and wonder where they are going, what kind of life they lead, what they do, what they are passionate about. The changing seasons always remind us of the cycles of life and force us to reflect on the rush of time. You are right that gratitude and the ability to enjoy the little things allow us to enjoy life more fully. Because why focus on the bad things when we can focus on the good ones? 😆 Thank you for the cozy movie. ❤
Thanks for your nice comment, I enjoyed reading it. And yes, Mochi's ears are very soft and pleasant to touch. I especially like that on the inside, they are a light pink color, like cherry blossom petals in spring! 🐶💫❤️
Today I will start my comment grabing your words at the end of your beautiful "portrait" of life: The meaning of life, why we're here, are we trully honest about life and I believe the image of your hand holding Mr. J's hand translates the very mission we all pursuit - feel happy, make someone happy, enjoying in silence the sound of heart, together and unison. Such a treasure understand how precious are this fleeting moments. And you have that skill. Thank you. Thank you. Love the jazz segment. And of course dear Mochi, so sweet. I said it before and repeat, you're an artist. Love from Portugal, the gang is hibernate, they spend most of the day hibernate... PS.: I love boats, most of my life I used it to cross Tejo the river to get to Lisbon. Nowadays the "cacilheiros" are electric and lost the magic of the typical noise and the smell of fuel and cameras and gps do most of the work of the captain (o Mestre)... sounds weird but it reminds me of what you're saying about life and communion with our thoughts.
It sounds like a good, natural break to be in hibernation when the autumn comes. It's nice to listen to nature, and follow the natural rhythm of the seasons! We are spending more time inside now because it gets dark earlier. Lighting candles, and curling up under a blanket. Right now Mochi is under the blanket next to me on the sofa. She loves that position. Hope you are having a good week in Portugal my friend- together with your lovely little gang! As always, love from Oslo 🐶💫❤️
As cores do outono me fascinam, e vc consegue captar em toda sua beleza nas imagens de Oslo. Amei suas reflexões! Um ótimo começo de semana , você, Mr J e Mochi querida. 💕🐶🫶🇧🇷
Good morning Nino, walks, admiring and respecting nature, good food, good health, friendships and the love that surrounds us, perhaps this is the meaning of life... everything else is a race to nowhere... Two days ago my father died suddenly, he was just 74 years old, I saw him a few times in my life, but I always missed him... Life is a breath, as you say, one must be grateful to be there and live it. A big hug from Amelie 🍀🌷
Dear Amelie, your words are really wonderful. I think you are right about the meaning of life. I'm sorry to hear about your father. The death of a relative / loved one always brings so many thoughts to the surface. Even though we have never met, I sense that you are a wonderful, unique and sweet person. I'm grateful to have connected with you. ❤️ Nino
@@introvert-and-dog Thank you you are a treasure! I try the same, believe me! PS the picture where you hold Mr. J.'s hand on the sofa is wonderful and tender, it reflects the essence of our existence! Long live love ❤️
Quando ero bambina spesso mi è stato chiesto cosa volevo fare da grande, non ho mai avuto sogni grandiosi, volevo una vita normale e ancora adesso la penso allo stesso modo. Sono libera nei miei pensieri e nelle mie azioni, ho lavorato, ho costruito una famiglia, ho amato, nel mio piccolo non desidero altro...sento di essere fortunata e a mio modo felice. Non è accontentarsi ma essere consapevoli della fortuna che si ha. Grazie per I colori e i posti meravigliosi che ci fai vedere e grazie per essere un buon amico lontano. ❤Mochi
My dear friend, your comment moved me. Thanks for sharing a little from your life, and also your thoughts on life. I really enjoy learning about how other people see life. Lots of love from me and Mochi to you 🐶💫❤️ Right now she is sleeping close to me on the sofa, looking very peaceful.
Wow. A beautiful video for the eyes and the mind. That bathtub is a hoot - I almost thought Mochi brought you a bath toy to join you in your spa. The meaning of life is different for everyone, I’m sure, but maybe to love and be loved by someone, even if it’s a pet, and to make a difference in one person’s life is a life well lived.
I have just found your channel and I can say I love it. I love Norway and all the nordic Countries with their way of living a simple life, I love the seasons changing with all their fantastic colours, especially autumn. I live in Italy, (Sicily) in a place where there are no seasons and the landscape is always the same. There are no yellow leaves in autumn or snow in winter. I hate those hot summers that never end. I would like to live in Sweden or Norway or Finland, but It is very difficult to go away from here. Thank you for your video, you make me dream. See you soon.
Thank you for your kind words- I'm glad you enjoy my videos! I always wanted to visit Sicily. It must be beautiful and very different from Norway. I hope I get the chance to see it one day.
I think the meaning of life is to love each other, to be kind to others, to help each other out whenever we can. I think we are here to connect to others and to learn from each other and grow to be empathic people. We all want to be loved and to give love. So I think the meaning of life is love. I so wish we could be friends in real life. I would love to have deep and meaningful conversations with you. But I am so blessed that I am able to have a peek into your life and values through your videos. It is wonderful that I exist as the same time as you. That the phone I am holding connects me to a person on the other side of the globe.
I appreciate your comment so much! The part about love: Yes, I think you're absolutely right about that. It's so easy, yet so difficult. I mean just look at the state of the world. Yet having this vlog has made me a little more optimistic. (Judging from the many nice comments left by nice people- including you) Many of us just want to live a simple, happy life. I'm so grateful to have connected with many like minded people in here. This time last year, the idea of this channel didn't even exist! Imagine that. I think we would have gotten a long very well in real life. Who knows, maybe one day our paths will cross?
Hello, first I wanted to congratulate you on your purchase, I also have a small bathroom, I'm about to copy your idea, I'm not a bar person either but when I'm with my wife or a friend sometimes I drink too much (I hope it's not the same case 😅), I'm really glad you see your friend from Bergen (I remember him from a previous video), I don't know if you know the Kulturhuset in Oslo, but when my wife and I were there on the last night in Oslo we were surprised to see so many books and board games in a cocktail bar, it would be a good place to go the next time your friend from Bergen comes (I suppose 🤔), I've had those reflections that you had on public transport, or similar, I'm already old and I reflect a lot on the decisions I made and which ones I will make in what I have left of my life, and that's when doubts come to you, even so you're right about one thing, uncontrolled desire will make you suffer a lot, the Buddha himself preached it (although I'm not a Buddhist it seemed like good advice to me), that's why I think that most of us who watch your videos do so because we want or have a simpler life to be happier or close to it... and a Lamborghini (just kidding 😅 ). Also seeing Mochi's photos as a child and the video of the ruins where you walked, I suppose you think a lot about the passage of time and everything that it entails, if so, welcome to the club, although if you allow me some advice, don't obsess a lot, it's not something material but it's also another type of desire and it will make you suffer, enjoy the present and what you have, greetings to Mochi and Mr. J. Have a good week 🤗 (P.S. how envious of seeing rain, nothing here yet, let's hope it rains some this week)
Hi again friend, and thanks for your comment which made me smile as I read it. You have a good sense of humor, I like it! Yes- Kulturhuset is nice- I'm happy you visited and experienced it. I like the atmosphere. Very relaxed. One of my first dates with Mr. J was actually there, so I have good memories from that place! Also- I'm glad the inflatable bathtub inspired you. I had actually never heard about such a thing before my friend told me about it. I have used it only one time, but it was surprisingly nice! And leaning back was more comfy than a normal tub, because it is soft. Anyway, I think you are right- it is not good to think too much (because we will never know the answers to deep questions anyway, so in a way it's a waste of time). Better to just enjoy the moment, right? Happy to hear you also sometimes go out and enjoy yourself! Once in a while, drinking can be very fun and liberating. It's a celebration of life! If done in moderation, like most things 😄
A simple, slow life is a beautiful life. Thanks for sharing yours with us. Love your philosophical thoughts! Practicing gratitude daily is so good for the soul. Give that sweet princess Mochi a hug for me. ❤️
What a beautiful sweet gift to the world ….you and Mochi. Your videos are gentle, kind, heartwarming, love filled, playful, and most importantly slow, easy, mindful and full of gratitude. A soothing tonic in a world that can be so stressful. I’m an introvert with 🐈⬛ often quite anxiety ridden. During an incredibly stressful time in my life, I found your videos by chance. They have brought an incredible amount of peace to my spirit. I find them calming, grounding and so positively uplifting. Such joy. Thank you dear sweet man for enhancing my life so much. And of course the smiles that sweet Mochi brings when I watch her play. Keep them coming. Love from Canada.
Your comment made my day. Thanks for taking the time to write it. It gives me joy to know that in some small way I'm making someone's life just a little bit better. ❤️
I Agree Mochi is a Sweet girl you are like and she is lucky as well, Oslo is a relaxing and safe city I may Add have a nice Weekend you Guys Thank you very much.
The meaning of life-I think your vlogs capture it.
I never thought about that. Thank you! ❤️
Absolutely!
@@introvert-and-dog If you haven't seen it already, I recommend watching the Disney movie "Soul." It delves into what the meaning of life ought to be for everyone. Spoiler, I think you got it precisely correct in your vlog ("to just try to be happy & grateful to be here")! I don't think life should be more complicated than that. Just being a kind, good person in whichever way you can & surrounding yourself with people who bring out the best in you :)
@@jenzhou1096 Thank you for telling me about that film. I haven't seen it, but it sounds like something I would enjoy! 😄
Thank you for transmitting your wonderful peace.You are very special. Mochi is a sweetheart. Kisses from Cádiz España.🌸🧷🤍
I don’t know what made you decide to start a RUclips channel, I’m just truly grateful you did! Your vlogs are beautiful, interesting, detailed and, of course, super cute 🐶.
Aw- thank you so much. Your nice comment just brightened a grey and rainy day in Oslo! ❤️
A dog like that on an Autumn day, a peaceful home, maybe a good book and a glass of tea or wine. You have it all.
True ❤️
I ❤ Mochi
That moment captured by your camera and shared with us, of intertwined hands and Mochi on your lap Mr. I, is exactly one of those moments where all the meanings meet.
Because today is the best day of all to be happy, to be grateful, to appreciate the small things that make our lives great and the big things that remind us how small we are. Today is the best day and not tomorrow because tomorrow is right now.
Sometimes we never know we are in the good old days until they have already happened.
The motto of my life: "It's down, which is not a small feat".
Thanks so much gentle soul for sharing an Oslo dressed in autumn and your deep thoughts so full of meaning.
Beautifully crafted comment as always, thank you! I shall meditate a little on your gentle words.
Yes, today is the best day of all to be happy, to be grateful.
I hope you are well, sending you lots of love from Oslo ❤️
Mochi is such a sweetheart. Beautiful, adorable girl. She truly got the best, loving parents who genuinely care for her very much. Mr. Introvert and Mochi have fun, enjoy your adventures in lovely, peaceful city. 🐕🐶🥰😍💫💜💜💜💜
Aw- your comment really feels like a nice, warm hug. Thank you ❤️ Sending you love from Oslo 🐶💫❤️
@@introvert-and-dog Your welcome. In return I'm sending love and warm hugs to you, Mochi and Mr. J. ❤️
You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place, peaceful with respect to nature and animals!
Thanks, I try to always be grateful ❤️
I love everything about your videos but especially the details you capture (the raindrops in the leaves, the city lights in the puddles...)! You are truly a beautiful soul! A warm hug from a friend who loves you so much!❤
Your loving words are rays of sunshine! Thank you! 💓😄
Dear me, the loveliness of Oslo and Mochi and now Metaphysics 101! I can't cope.
Frankly, the blow-up bath was seriously weird, but each to his own, no doubt. How do you fully dry it afterwards? I do wonder what Mr J thinks of this gizmo.
I see you use Flora which we of course have here. However, I never deny myself butter (and whole milk and full-fat cheese) on a daily basis. Life is too short - believe me, at 75 - to constantly attend to one's health (unless, of course, there is good reason to do so).
I also find autumn beautiful, if melancholic. I'm struck where I live in the Midlands how many people passing by my bungalow are not looking around, but with their faces in their phones, even while walking their dogs.
Excuse me, I've rattled on. That's what happens when you find a gem of a channel.
Robert, uk.
Hello Robert in the UK- your comment made me smile. Especially the part where you wonder what Mr. J thinks of the inflatable bath. Well, he thinks it's weird, and won't ever use it, but he accepts it and says, "oh well, if it makes you happy" 😂
After use, I put it up against the wall, the next day it's dry, and I let the air out, and put it away. It is a bit of work, but I was missing soaking in a tub so much, so for me, it's worth it 😋
Ps, interesting that you have the same brand of margarine, Flora in the UK! I LOVE butter, but in the mornings, I don't have the patience to wait for it to soften up...
It is a cool and sunny morning here in Warsaw and I am sitting with my coffee, watching your video. I don’t know why we are here on earth, but in moments like these it seems to be worth it. Thank you so much for sharing your life, I hope you never stop. ❤
Wow, your comment is so nice, thanks! I can picture you with your coffee in Warsaw watching my video. Love from Oslo ❤️
@@introvert-and-dog❤
I really needed to watch this today, after feeling anxious and stressed. I love your wonderful, calming videos with the cutest ever Mochi. Appreciate the philosophical insights too, so please include some philosophy in your videos, whenever possible. Thank you for the peace you provide 🥰
I appreciate your comment- and I'm happy to hear my video brought you a little joy today. Also, I'm glad to hear you liked my philosophical thoughts, I was a little afraid I would bore people!
Love from Oslo ❤️
I just love your vlogs so much but honestly Mochi has stolen my heart. She really is the prettiest dog 💖
Thank you! And I will certainly not disagree with you regarding Mochi! 🐶💫❤️
I really love your posts! Now I want to visit Oslo - it's a beautiful place! Thank you. Mochi is a sweetheart - I want one 🙂
Hope you can visit one day! 😄
I've never been to Oslo and enjoy "taking the walks" with you very much. Thank you for filming!
Happy you enjoy my videos! ❤️
My favorite Saturday morning routine has become drinking a hot cup of tea and spending time with you and Mochi enjoying the "simple things" of life, exploring Oslo, and Nature. I wish I could have watched your videos growing up as an introvert and highly sensitive person, so it wouldn't have been such a struggle, fighting my true nature and trying to fit in with extroverts and an often so overwhelming world. Thank you for making your videos, and I hope you will do so for a long time! Warm Greetings.
Thank you for this very sweet comment. I also wish introverted kids were understood more, it would have made my childhood better too. ❤️
You’re right, that’s what I have learnt as well, we are far more similar, than dissimilar.…. Millions of people would be content to have the joy of an ordinary, uncomplicated life like you espouse, as your subscribers have confirmed and validated in their droves …, Thank you for sharing your beautiful girl and your “ordinary” life with those of us who enjoy the “beauty in the ordinary” ……
Much love, Judy, Rockingham, Western Australia 🇦🇺🥰🇳🇴
Another Saturday morning and another video of sweet Mochi. I love how, when you’re walking with her, every now and then she stops to look back and check on you! The very best tour guide ever! Thank you again for your early Saturday morning treats. I’m very grateful
I love how Mochi turns around to check on me too! We never trained her to do that, so it's extra sweet.
Happy and honored to be part of your Saturday morning rutine! 🐶💫❤️
I’ve come to a realization after watching your vlog. You mentioned how autumn tends to bring out the “philosopher” in you, and make you more reflective. I find myself being the same way. I grew up in a place with 4 seasons, and autumn/winter months always made me slow down and be more reflective. However, the past couple years my husband and I have been living in Saigon, Vietnam, where it is hot all year long. We’ve come to feel restless and sick of the city here, and I just realized that perhaps it’s because we don’t get that seasonal change that allows us to feel that sense of time to think. Life always feels fast here, barely getting an opportunity to take a breath (and even when you do, it’s often polluted 😢). I’ve newly discovered your vlogs, which I feel can help me to remember to take that time to slow down a little, and serve as a motivation to get us back to a place where we can have our 4 seasons that we miss oh so much .
Interesting to hear that the change in seasons also made you more reflective. How interesting that you are living in Vietnam with your husband. I can imagine that it's very different weather wise if you're used to four distinct seasons! It's actually a funny coincidence, because I have Vietnamese roots. I've lived in Norway my whole life, but I've been to Vietnam, and have loved traveling around the country. If I was ever to live there, I think I would go for Dalat or Danang. I can understand that Saigon feels hectic. And of course there is the pollution as you mention. But then again, you have the amazing food and friendly, outgoing people.
Anyway, I'm happy you enjoy my vlogs!
Princess Mochi is so curious of things you are doing. So loyal and loving 😊 💕
Ahhhh my heart is so happy ❤
Beautiful city sights, adorable Mochi, cozy bath time, warm fuzzy sweaters, and to top it all off, one of my favorite shows, the Golden Girls! I feel like we are all best friends haha❤ cannot thank you enough for these precious videos and reminders 🙏🏻
So many hugs from NYC to you all!
Hello! Your comments always make me smile! I've been listening to your music on Spotify on my morning commute. It's such a nice way to start the day. Classical music is wonderful and timeless. And you are very talented!
"Thank you for being a friend!" 💓😄

Que lindo viaje por esos paisajes otoñales......árboles caducos que simbolizan el ciclo de la vida y la muerte, en los jardines japoneses.
Yo tambien pienso lo bendecida que soy gozando de buena salud y disfrutando de la vida simple. Como pasear con mi perro Tao, o cuidar mis plantas del jardín. Que tengas un buen fin de semana y cariños para Mochi..!!
I loved reading your beautifully written comment. Good health- yes that is one of the most important things in life! Easy to forget. Big hug from us to you and your dog Tao 🐶💫❤️
I love The Golden Girls. Especially Dorothy, Bea Arthur. I meditate and journal. Gratefulness is a big part of meditation. It keeps you humble. I'm grateful I live now. With the modern technology that makes your delightful video's possible to watch all over the world. Merry Christmas. ❤ from rainy Amsterdam
Dorothy and her mother Sophia are my favorites.😄 Your view on life sounds similar to mine. It's a good way to live, I think. Love from Oslo to Amsterdam ❤️
I've recently discovered your wonderful vlogs and am especially interested as I will be visiting Norway next year. The music you choose fits perfectly with the rainy scenes and your thoughts on the meaning of life. I'm afraid I've reached my late 70's and I still don't know the answer!!
Thank you and love to dear Mochi ❤
It's comforting to know that you haven't figured out the meaning of life, means I'm not alone!
Hope you will have a wonderful time in Norway next year! 😄
A bathtub that fits inside a wardrobe! That's just the next level genius!
The end was so cute! It probably feels amazing to have those hands to hold on to!
Thanks- yes, having someone to hold hands with is nice. Especially on a chilly day 😂
my happy Friday night! thanks!
Mine too 😍❤️it’s a ritual now!
Alle tiders …..!!!!THX… wish I was there ….!!!💕😎
Your vlogs are infused with a joy and gratitude for the wonder of being part of this vast universe: the mysteries, the miracles and the magic of our transient existence here on planet Earth. I do feel that when we carry positive energy in ourselves, this permeates through us, and has ripple effects beyond what we can know. This is what you are doing with your vlogs...A very worthwhile and meaningful contribution to humanity.
Thank you for these words, dear friend. I try to meet the world with a sense of wonder...because in a way every day is a miracle, and this word...even though there is a lot of darkness and hate, there is also so many amazing things.
Big hug from Oslo ❤️
Me gusta mucho la perrita, es hermosa y me encanta Oslo.❤
Mochi er så sød! Vores hund har boet hos os i 9 år, og vi er glade hver dag for, at han er her. Det var en dejlig og afslappet video. Mange hilsner fra Danmark til Norge
Takk for fin kommentar! Håper dere har en nydelig søndag med deres hund! 🐶💫❤️
Just had minor surgery and this is so relaxing to watch! Thank you!
Hope you have a smooth recovery! ❤️
Tão linda Mochi. Senti saudade do meu 🐕 neste momento, ele se foi há alguns dias... é tanto amor que recebemos deles que não tem como não amá-los também. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss! You must feel very sad. Sending you love and light from Oslo ❤️

Oslo looks wonderful in Autumn. 🍂✨
Aw- thank you so much- happy to hear you enjoy my videos 😄
ohhhhh! that bread is worth a trip to Norway
Another heart warming video ❤I love everything..the raindrops on the window of the bus the streets on a rainy evening, the music ..the peaceful home images .. Mochi so cuuuute 🐶❤Thanks ! 😍🫶🏻❤️🙏
Thank you so much for your uplifting comments - they cheer me up!
Mochi is so charming tax collector😍 I have one like that at home too. We have a cheese tax, an apple tax, a veggie tax, and even a potato tax😂
Thank you so much for such a cozy vlog. Today I caught myself thinking that many of your words resonate with me. The love for simple and understandable things, for an ordinary yet cozy life, and the ability to see beauty everywhere - that’s what immediately drew me to your vlogs and made me look forward to new ones every Saturday. I sincerely want to thank you for your wonderful videos that can warm the viewer’s soul💗
My friends recommended that type of bathtub to me as well. We also have a very small bathroom with only a shower. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy a bath because Chester loves water! In our previous apartment, we had a bathtub, and he didn’t want to leave it😅 He would lie down and splash around in the water🥰 So I don’t even remember the last time I cozied up in the bath with a book and tea.
Looks like my comment turned out to be endless😆 Chester and I wish you a wonderful weekend, and we’ll see you in the next vlogs🤗🤗🤍🤍
I also have kisses tax to my sweet dogs❤😂❤
@kristy_chester I had to laugh over the fact that you also have a tax collector. I can imagine Chester collecting a lot of taxes! 😂 Mochi doesn't like apples or most veggies. She just spits them out. Haha. But of course cheese, meat and other human foods are always welcome...
How different dogs are- they are like humans really. Each with their own personality. I can see that you would not be left alone in the tub if Chester loves water. It's so sweet, really.
Princess Mochi on the other hand does not like to get wet. Every time I'm in the shower and she hears the sound of water, she runs! 😂 Last night it was raining, and Mr. J took her out, and when they came to the door, she turned around with a disgusted look saying "Are you kidding me?!?
Hope you are having a wonderful autumn weekend in Poland, dear friend! The internet has many dark sides, but I'm happy that there are also many, many bright sides filled with love and light, like your lovely vlog 💓😄
@GiovannaDefeo The best kind of tax!
@@introvert-and-dog ❤️
@@introvert-and-dog Your stories made me laugh too. Mochi’s reaction to water, including rain, is so cute 🥰 As for Chester, he gets so excited when we walk in the rain. He doesn’t miss a single puddle. Sometimes he even speeds up and dives straight into the puddle. And in the summer, when Chester was staying with my friend, he just walked into a puddle and lay down in it, refusing to come out. My friend had to lure him out with treats😆
Dear friend, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m also grateful to RUclips for helping me meet so many kind, interesting people like you🤍🤗
love your sandwich. mochi is so interesting i like to no what she thinks when she is looking into the camera. so sweet ❤
Always a simple yet truly meaningful narrative ❤Thankyou . I love the way you tie the beginning and end together perfectly. And Mochi is always the star 🌟 X
I like telling a story, so I appreciate that you commented on that.
And of course I can't argue: Mochi is indeed always the star! 🐶💫❤️
Whenever I feel stressed or my mood is low, I watch one of your Videos.
They always make me feel better and I appreciate the good things in life, Most of them being free!
I’m so happy to hear my videos make you feel better! ❤️
Oh,qué bien!
Otra pequeña joya para añadir a mi colección,estoy emocionada!😊
Tus vídeos me llenan de dulzura y de calma,me hacen pensar...me fascinan!
Hace un tiempo estoy aprendiendo a encontrar el sentido de mi vida:
creo que se trata de mirar más allá de mí misma ,de hacer pasar un rato agradable o despertar una sonrisa de quien tenga al lado(conocido o no);
tratar a los demás con el mismo cariño que nos gustaría recibir, dedicarles siquiera unos minutos de escucha atenta, sin juzgar ni ignorar a nadie...hacer de tu compañía algo grato para los demás...eso es lo que intento cada día
Tu "spa para pobres" me parece todo un acierto,me encanta👏👏🎉
Tampoco yo tengo bañera completa,pero,por suerte,los spas de aguas termales abundan en mi isla y son totalmente asequibles para todos los públicos(me refiero al coste);
suelo pasarme en "remojo terapeútico" media jornada en los días lluviosos: es estupendo estar sumergido y caliente mientras la lluvia golpea sobre tu cabeza!😅(el agua me vuelve loca: creo que soy medio pez!🐟)
Gracias por dedicarnos estas pinceladas de tu vida cotidiana y acompañarnos en los tours por tu bella ciudad(a tí y a Mochi,claro!)
Un placer y un privilegio volver a verte,querido amigo!
Abrazos enormes desde España❤
Dear friend, it sounds like you have a very good and healthy approach to life. It is nice to treat other people well, even though sometimes it can be challenging, because not everyone treats us nicely in return. I guess it's all part of being human. We just have to do our best. If we fail, we try again.
It sounds wonderful that you have access to natural mineral baths. It must be wonderful to soak and relax there! Maybe you told me before, but I forgot, sorry, on which island do you live? 😄
Anyway, I hope you are having a peaceful Sunday!
Oslo is grey and rainy today, which is beautiful in its own way.
❤️
Love from Norway to Spain
@@introvert-and-dog Me hacen mucha ilusión tus respuestas,sr.I!
Que dediques tiempo a escribirla, tan extensa y detalladamente,me llena de alegría.
Yo vivo actualmente en Lanzarote,una pequeña isla al suroeste de España,perteneciente al archipiélago de las Islas Canarias que están muy cerquita de Marruecos.
A estas islas se las denomina "las afortunadas",debido a su fantástico clima(la temperatura oscila entre 17° y 27 ° más o menos durante todo el año,¡qué bien!🌞)y a su naturaleza alucinante: son de origen volcánico y gozan de unos paisajes y una vegetación subtropical increíbles🏜
Si alguna vez tienes oportunidad de conocerlas,te llevarás una experiencia inolvidable...
Cuando te animes a venir,aquí tenéis mi casa abierta para los tres(el sr.J,el sr.I y la princesa): estaré encantada de ser vuestro guía turístico,je,je!😅
Otro abrazo grande,amigo!🥰
@@sandrukikabuki Your answer made me smile, because I was imagining how wonderful your climate is! Autumn has come to Oslo, and the summer sun has disappeared. Maybe soon we will have snow. 😄
I have heard about Lanzarote, but I have never been there. I Know it is very popular for northern Europeans to go there during the winter. I Have been to Mallorca, which was wonderful. And in mainland Spain I have been to Sevilla, Cordoba, Madrid and Granada. I think Spain is a wonderful country with great culture and people.
Thank you so much for your generosity - and inviting us. I was very moved by that.
I still can't believe how many nice people like you leave wonderful comments on my channel. This this time last year, I didn't even have the idea to start this channel. I was just a guy busy with his life and office job like everyone else. I'm so glad I started to make videos. I think many people long for a simple and peaceful life. We are so similar even though the outside may look very different.
If you ever come to Oslo, you will have a friendly guide to show you around ❤🐶

Just what i need to see today 😍 always love the way you capture the sounds of daily life , we are so used to the world noise that we forget how beautiful the simple sounds like walking steps, rain, wind, cutting the bread can be 🧡 thank you for always remind us about the simple important things! Good weekend 😊🐕
Happy you appreciate the natural sounds in my videos. I love hearing these everyday sounds. If they were gone, I would miss them so much.
Hugs from Oslo ❤️
The more I watch your videos, the more you make me want to visit your city. Growing up I always said “No i ll never want to go to the north because I hate the cold” but seeing Oslo through your lens makes me actually want to visit, I love the colours, the architecture, the city looks so clean! If I ever come it will be thanks to you. It s a photographer s paradise and the colours of autumn really are marvellous. Your doggy has the best life. Thank you for sharing your world through your lens! I love your videos, it s a perfect blend of life like most people say here! Have a lovely day up north 😊
Hi and thanks for your comment, which made me smile!
To be honest with you, I don't like the cold too much either, but having grown up with it, we don't have a choice, so we learn to accept it, and now as an adult, I can truly enjoy the beauty of the changes in seasons. And having these big contrasts between seasons really make you appreciate every season more, if that makes sense.
Anyway, happy to hear my videos made you want to visit Oslo!
PS- I saw you have a vlog too- and I want to try to make that Indo Chinese spicy chicken. It looked yummy! Thanks for sharing!
And you garden, wow, as a city person, I am very envious! Could just imagine Mochi having fun running around there 😋
@@introvert-and-dog I so agree, every season is special and different each and every year. Nature is so important, yes I m in the countryside but the city is only 30 minutes away so it’s the best of both worlds. I will definitely cone to Oslo, but the first time will be in spring or Summer ahahah 😊 Mochi would love it indeed but you take good care of her and she appears to enjoy going everywhere with you!

I was as curious as Mochi while you were open that box. Haha..I got impressed with the spectacular colors of the leaves. The parks, the boats and the colored houses...so beautiful. Ah...and you and mr. J on the couch with princess Mochi. Have a nice week.
Haha, it was a bit of a weird thing inside the box, but I had been missing a bathtub so much, so the next best thing is an inflatable one 😂

Aww those are cute baby pics of you, Princess Mochi! I’m jealous of the cheese your dad gave you but on the other hand, my dad gave me some pepperoni from the pizza he had this evening. My dad also gets lost in his thoughts like every introvert on this planet! Sometimes I think he’s thinking serious when we should all have fun. I know when he’s with me, he relaxes a lot. Aside from being grateful, my dad makes sure he leaves the day a little better than yesterday. Your fall leaves are beautiful. It’s already starting to get chilly in the evenings and early mornings here. Anyway, I’m about to go to bed. Sweet dreams my friend! ❤ Big Boo and introvert dad
Hi Big Boo! I can't believe you got pepperoni! I love all kinds of meat! 💓 But my dads don't always give it to me, even though I do my very best to look sad and starving!

Beautiful autumn views and deep thoughts. About two years ago I read a book about gratitude, it had exercises for each day of the month and it really makes you aware of everything you have in life. Sometimes I think that each life we live is a valuable experience in the long journey of the soul. Love from Spain ❤
I like your reflection about how each life we life is a valuable experience for the soul. Beautiful idea!
Right now, I feel gratitude for connecting with so many like minded people though my vlog. There is always something to be grateful and happy for. For me right now, it is your comment and the love you send from Spain. Thank you! ❤️

Very kind words- I appreciate it! Love from Oslo to Spain 🐶💫❤️
I'm pulling out my winter gear too---quarter zip pullovers and blankets. I also bought some new clothes for the first time in 5, 6 or more years. It's my first time ever seeing an inflatable bathtub. A practical item for those who like soaking in warm water in winter but don't otherwise need a space-hogging permanent tub.
There is something nice and comforting seeing the warm sweaters and blankets again, right? 😄

Dear Mr. I,
this time you have asked so many deep questions about life, that I will have to think about them the whole day.
Autumn just arrived in Istanbul too, so seeing similar sights made me happy. I also missed my cozy and warm clothes, so I hope I fit inside again 😅
I hope you are doing well because this time I got the feeling that you are a little bit sad and thoughtful..
Thanks for reminding to be grateful and to appreciate all the little things and see them as blessings of life. I’m also thankful for my little life and I hope that we will have the chance to experience more blessed moments.
Have a nice weekend and enjoy every single moment of it.
Big hugs and much love from Istanbul 🍀💕
Hello dear friend in Istanbul, I laughed reading about your concern about fitting inside your warm clothes. I have that concern too (because I love cake. Haha!) But luckily my winter sweaters are quite big and flexible 😂
I'm moved by your concern for me, thank you! I was a little blue, but that is normal for me in Autumn, when the days get darker. But I'm already feeling lighter. Much because of nice comments like yours!
Hope you have a great weekend! 💓😄
Tú spa lo mejor!!👏👏Mochi adorable😍😍. Que paséis muy buena semana. 👋😘😘
Thank you so much! Have a great week 😄
Buongiorno col sorriso😊! Vedere l'ispettore del formaggio Mochi in attesa della sua tassa da riscuotere mi ha fatto sorridere 😂. L'idea della vasca gonfiabile è geniale e i tuoi scatti fotografici sempre più belli 👍. Le tue riflessioni sulla vita sono interessanti, mi chiedo se sia meglio provare rimorsi che rimpianti... Chissà. Comunque hai ragione, una coperta calda, il proprio cagnolino accanto e tenere la mano alla persona che ami seduti sul divano è una Grande Ragione di Vita. Un grande abbraccio a voi tre!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your very sweet comment, reading it made me smile. Hugs from me and the little cheese tax collector Mochi 🐶💫❤️
Lovely. Your videos are greatly appreciated!
Glad you like them! ❤️
Lovely ending ❤ greetings from Mexico
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Mochi est la vedette cette semaine❤❤ J'adore toutes vos vidéos que je savoure tous les samedi matin en prenant mon petit-déjeuner Merci pour ces moments de quiétude
Je suis en France et j'ai la même habitude que vous, ces vidéos sont idéales pour commencer la journée en douceur.
@478vivi Mochi always steals the show, she is a big star! 🐶❤️ Thanks for your kinds words, I love that you are starting your Saturday watching our little life in Oslo 😄
@calamiteusejeanne9387 This makes me happy! Hope you are having a peaceful weekend! Love from Oslo ❤️
Tudo é tão lindo no outono. Muito bom ver seus vídeos no sábado de manhã. Amo ❤ e como é bom quando nossos amados bichinhos sentam no nosso colo. ❤❤❤
There is nothing like the soft and warm body of a pet on our lap. That is real beauty and peace! ❤️
Thank you so much for making these videos. I truly appreciate it. They are like a hug to me. Please keep making them for as long as you can. Once again thank you! Hugs from Indianapolis.
Thank you for your very kind comment! Love from Oslo to Indianapolis 💓
Bonsoir
Merci pour cette belle vidéo très agréable avec mochi j ai adoré
bonne semaine à vous 3 🦋☺️
Thank you! Hope you are having a great weekend too 🐶💫❤️
The greyness of autumn is a beautiful background for the patches of intense leaf colours. In addition, streaks of warm light, softening the contours. In these extraordinary frames, sweet Mochi, so immaculately white, presents itself noble. Aren't her ears fleshy and velvety to the touch? I also like to watch people and wonder where they are going, what kind of life they lead, what they do, what they are passionate about. The changing seasons always remind us of the cycles of life and force us to reflect on the rush of time. You are right that gratitude and the ability to enjoy the little things allow us to enjoy life more fully. Because why focus on the bad things when we can focus on the good ones? 😆 Thank you for the cozy movie. ❤
Thanks for your nice comment, I enjoyed reading it.
And yes, Mochi's ears are very soft and pleasant to touch. I especially like that on the inside, they are a light pink color, like cherry blossom petals in spring! 🐶💫❤️
Your videos are so beautiful, calming and inspiring. It's truly the life I'm seeking, thank you for sharing. ♥️
Glad you like them! ❤️
Que bonita está Oslo. Los colores del Otoño son preciosos.
Me encanta verte tan feliz!😊
Ponte sales de baño la próxima vez❤
Yes, I have already bought bath salts! I'm looking forward to the next bath! 😂
Lovely video! Thank you❤
Today I will start my comment grabing your words at the end of your beautiful "portrait" of life: The meaning of life, why we're here, are we trully honest about life and I believe the image of your hand holding Mr. J's hand translates the very mission we all pursuit - feel happy, make someone happy, enjoying in silence the sound of heart, together and unison. Such a treasure understand how precious are this fleeting moments. And you have that skill. Thank you. Thank you. Love the jazz segment. And of course dear Mochi, so sweet. I said it before and repeat, you're an artist. Love from Portugal, the gang is hibernate, they spend most of the day hibernate... PS.: I love boats, most of my life I used it to cross Tejo the river to get to Lisbon. Nowadays the "cacilheiros" are electric and lost the magic of the typical noise and the smell of fuel and cameras and gps do most of the work of the captain (o Mestre)... sounds weird but it reminds me of what you're saying about life and communion with our thoughts.
It sounds like a good, natural break to be in hibernation when the autumn comes. It's nice to listen to nature, and follow the natural rhythm of the seasons! We are spending more time inside now because it gets dark earlier. Lighting candles, and curling up under a blanket. Right now Mochi is under the blanket next to me on the sofa. She loves that position.
Hope you are having a good week in Portugal my friend- together with your lovely little gang!
As always, love from Oslo 🐶💫❤️
@@introvert-and-dog 🤗
Aww… Mochi’s puppy photos 🥰🐶🐾
My eyes are healing travelling with you, my soul also, and oh oh i want that bathtub, i have many years to have that feeling! 💐💐🍁🍁
That's so nice ❤️
Oslo is gorgeous in autumn, I would love to draw the buildings, the trees, the colorful leaves.
Love from Northern California ❤️
Hope you can visit some day and draw Oslo! 😄
As cores do outono me fascinam, e vc consegue captar em toda sua beleza nas imagens de Oslo.
Amei suas reflexões!
Um ótimo começo de semana , você, Mr J e Mochi querida.
💕🐶🫶🇧🇷
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video and my reflections ❤️
Encantada de conocerte 🫂 me ha encantado tu ciudad, los días de lluvia, ❤️🐕 , un saludo desde Barcelona 🙋🙋
Greetings from Oslo to Barcelona! 😄
Good morning Nino, walks, admiring and respecting nature, good food, good health, friendships and the love that surrounds us, perhaps this is the meaning of life... everything else is a race to nowhere...
Two days ago my father died suddenly, he was just 74 years old, I saw him a few times in my life, but I always missed him...
Life is a breath, as you say, one must be grateful to be there and live it.
A big hug from
Amelie 🍀🌷
Dear Amelie, your words are really wonderful. I think you are right about the meaning of life. I'm sorry to hear about your father. The death of a relative / loved one always brings so many thoughts to the surface.
Even though we have never met, I sense that you are a wonderful, unique and sweet person. I'm grateful to have connected with you. ❤️ Nino
@@introvert-and-dog Thank you you are a treasure! I try the same, believe me!
PS the picture where you hold Mr. J.'s hand on the sofa is wonderful and tender, it reflects the essence of our existence! Long live love ❤️
Your videos are pure art 😊
The effort you put in each video made you my new favorite! Bravo 🎉
That's such a kind comment- Thank you! 😄
❤ when I see a fellow introvert, I subscribe!! Love to you all❤❤❤
Happy to connect with other introverts! 😄
Thanks for the lovely video mochi loves cheese did think you bought Tub for him 😀
Unfortunately Mochi hates to get wet, so the tub is just for me😂
Quando ero bambina spesso mi è stato chiesto cosa volevo fare da grande, non ho mai avuto sogni grandiosi, volevo una vita normale e ancora adesso la penso allo stesso modo. Sono libera nei miei pensieri e nelle mie azioni, ho lavorato, ho costruito una famiglia, ho amato, nel mio piccolo non desidero altro...sento di essere fortunata e a mio modo felice. Non è accontentarsi ma essere consapevoli della fortuna che si ha. Grazie per I colori e i posti meravigliosi che ci fai vedere e grazie per essere un buon amico lontano. ❤Mochi
My dear friend, your comment moved me. Thanks for sharing a little from your life, and also your thoughts on life. I really enjoy learning about how other people see life.
Lots of love from me and Mochi to you 🐶💫❤️ Right now she is sleeping close to me on the sofa, looking very peaceful.
Надувная ванна, как надувная лодка!👍😃
It's very practical if there is a flood maybe! 😄
Thank you, I very much enjoyed your video and will watch more of them🥰
Happy to hear you enjoy my videos ❤️
Wow. A beautiful video for the eyes and the mind. That bathtub is a hoot - I almost thought Mochi brought you a bath toy to join you in your spa. The meaning of life is different for everyone, I’m sure, but maybe to love and be loved by someone, even if it’s a pet, and to make a difference in one person’s life is a life well lived.
Your words are very wise- I think you are right! 😄
I have just found your channel and I can say I love it. I love Norway and all the nordic Countries with their way of living a simple life, I love the seasons changing with all their fantastic colours, especially autumn. I live in Italy, (Sicily) in a place where there are no seasons and the landscape is always the same. There are no yellow leaves in autumn or snow in winter. I hate those hot summers that never end. I would like to live in Sweden or Norway or Finland, but It is very difficult to go away from here. Thank you for your video, you make me dream. See you soon.
Thank you for your kind words- I'm glad you enjoy my videos!
I always wanted to visit Sicily. It must be beautiful and very different from Norway. I hope I get the chance to see it one day.
Precious. Your still photos would provide the best calendar shots for a spectacular sample of Oslo and it's very own, Princess Mochi... hint hint.
Good idea! 😄
Thank you for such a beautiful vlog 🎉
My pleasure 😊
I like your videos very very much. A lot of wisdom. This is particularly beautiful. Love it. Thanks so much to share your thoughts.
Happy you enjoyed my videos, and my thoughts this week- I'm glad it didn't bore you! ❤️
I think the meaning of life is to love each other, to be kind to others, to help each other out whenever we can. I think we are here to connect to others and to learn from each other and grow to be empathic people. We all want to be loved and to give love. So I think the meaning of life is love.
I so wish we could be friends in real life. I would love to have deep and meaningful conversations with you. But I am so blessed that I am able to have a peek into your life and values through your videos. It is wonderful that I exist as the same time as you. That the phone I am holding connects me to a person on the other side of the globe.
I appreciate your comment so much! The part about love: Yes, I think you're absolutely right about that. It's so easy, yet so difficult. I mean just look at the state of the world. Yet having this vlog has made me a little more optimistic. (Judging from the many nice comments left by nice people- including you)
Many of us just want to live a simple, happy life.
I'm so grateful to have connected with many like minded people in here. This time last year, the idea of this channel didn't even exist! Imagine that.
I think we would have gotten a long very well in real life.
Who knows, maybe one day our paths will cross?
Inflatable bathtub’s really cool😃
It was surprisingly comfy! 😄
Hello, first I wanted to congratulate you on your purchase, I also have a small bathroom, I'm about to copy your idea, I'm not a bar person either but when I'm with my wife or a friend sometimes I drink too much (I hope it's not the same case 😅), I'm really glad you see your friend from Bergen (I remember him from a previous video), I don't know if you know the Kulturhuset in Oslo, but when my wife and I were there on the last night in Oslo we were surprised to see so many books and board games in a cocktail bar, it would be a good place to go the next time your friend from Bergen comes (I suppose 🤔), I've had those reflections that you had on public transport, or similar, I'm already old and I reflect a lot on the decisions I made and which ones I will make in what I have left of my life, and that's when doubts come to you, even so you're right about one thing, uncontrolled desire will make you suffer a lot, the Buddha himself preached it (although I'm not a Buddhist it seemed like good advice to me), that's why I think that most of us who watch your videos do so because we want or have a simpler life to be happier or close to it... and a Lamborghini (just kidding 😅 ). Also seeing Mochi's photos as a child and the video of the ruins where you walked, I suppose you think a lot about the passage of time and everything that it entails, if so, welcome to the club, although if you allow me some advice, don't obsess a lot, it's not something material but it's also another type of desire and it will make you suffer, enjoy the present and what you have, greetings to Mochi and Mr. J. Have a good week 🤗 (P.S. how envious of seeing rain, nothing here yet, let's hope it rains some this week)
Hi again friend, and thanks for your comment which made me smile as I read it. You have a good sense of humor, I like it!
Yes- Kulturhuset is nice- I'm happy you visited and experienced it. I like the atmosphere. Very relaxed. One of my first dates with Mr. J was actually there, so I have good memories from that place!
Also- I'm glad the inflatable bathtub inspired you. I had actually never heard about such a thing before my friend told me about it. I have used it only one time, but it was surprisingly nice! And leaning back was more comfy than a normal tub, because it is soft.
Anyway, I think you are right- it is not good to think too much (because we will never know the answers to deep questions anyway, so in a way it's a waste of time). Better to just enjoy the moment, right?
Happy to hear you also sometimes go out and enjoy yourself! Once in a while, drinking can be very fun and liberating. It's a celebration of life! If done in moderation, like most things 😄
Beautiful video about life🍃🌻🍃Thank you Mochi e Mr. Introvert❤🐾
You are so kind 🐶💫❤️
@introvert-and-dog 👬❤🐾

Good morning! ❤️🐶
@@introvert-and-dog ❣️🤗
A simple, slow life is a beautiful life. Thanks for sharing yours with us. Love your philosophical thoughts! Practicing gratitude daily is so good for the soul.
Give that sweet princess Mochi a hug for me. ❤️
Thank you, friend.
Mochi sends kisses back! 🐶💫❤️
You should be a photographer of Oslo, you have a special eye with the simple things. Hi from Colombia South America 🇨🇴
Thank you so much! ❤️
What a beautiful sweet gift to the world ….you and Mochi. Your videos are gentle, kind, heartwarming, love filled, playful, and most importantly slow, easy, mindful and full of gratitude. A soothing tonic in a world that can be so stressful. I’m an introvert with 🐈⬛ often quite anxiety ridden. During an incredibly stressful time in my life, I found your videos by chance. They have brought an incredible amount of peace to my spirit. I find them calming, grounding and so positively uplifting. Such joy. Thank you dear sweet man for enhancing my life so much. And of course the smiles that sweet Mochi brings when I watch her play. Keep them coming. Love from Canada.
Your comment made my day. Thanks for taking the time to write it. It gives me joy to know that in some small way I'm making someone's life just a little bit better. ❤️
I Agree Mochi is a Sweet girl you are like and she is lucky as well, Oslo is a relaxing and safe city I may Add have a nice Weekend you Guys Thank you very much.
Thank you! Hope you are having a nice weekend 🐶💫❤️
I love that you savor your days, your life. It makes a tremendous difference…
I try to always remember to appreciate every day. Life is so short.
Takk for this wonderful video
Glad you liked it 💓
Your vlogs are so relaxing to watch just love them ... Your dog is beautiful ❤️
