GoatedGoats

For the last few months, goats have been prancing around inside my mind.

landscaping. It's called goatscaping.

If you're ever in the market for a new power tool, do first watch Irish tool repair man www.youtube.com/@deandohertygreaser. Absolute gem of information on which tools to avoid and which to cherish.

Fenne Kuppens in het Palmarium van Gent. Ingetogener dan Whispering Sons alvast 😉

A winding path surrounded by lush greenery leads towards a well-lit area, with tall palm leaves framing the scene. In the background, a modern building features a lighted mural by ROA, and the sky has a soft blue hue, indicating dusk.

A musician playing guitar on stage is illuminated by soft lights, performing in front of an engaged audience. There is a large cactus in the foreground, and the background features a textured wall with artistic elements. The venue appears intimate and relaxed.

If I search long and hard enough these two magical drawers will produce the exact washer, bolt, nut or screw I need. #diy

Sunday I'll be joining an introduction to beekeeping. On a rooftop community garden in Ghent. Purely out of interest, not immediately to start myself. Looking forward to it! #beekeeping #bee

You've got to love yard sales in rural France. Full of old woodworking tools (so many planes!) and people with great stories. Picked up an old hatchet and scythe whetstone. #France #woodworking

A sunny outdoor flea market scene with numerous stalls and vendors. People browse an array of items, including vintage goods, kitchenware, and crafts.

A collection of vintage items displayed at a market, including lamps, wooden planes, various books and magazines, glass bottles, a silver teapot, and woven baskets. The setting features a bright tablecloth and some floral accents.
