Moin and #Caturday morning cuddles with my boy. Woke (& got) up at 6:30 and still drinking coffee to wake up!

Tell me when the school holidays end, without telling me when the school holidays end 🤦‍♀️🙄 Still, Ryanair want 400€ for their flight on Wednesday and Eurostar from Brussels cost the equivalent of this flight from HH! 🤬

Cycled home the backroads from work today to forage plums 😁Close to 3kg worth and the tree is still full of them 😮

I’ve had this pod for years (more than 4 as the husband was alive when I got it), it’s taken until the last few weeks until one of the cats have decided they do actually like to hide away in it 😅… see, patience is a virtue 😂😂

Why on earth did i think it was a good idea to cycle home today in 34c ? You can see from how I slowed down how exhausting it was! The route has barely any shade. I put suncream on before I left, but still feel like I’ve gotten burned 🥵 Lesson learned!

Edvard Munch: Goth before Goth was cool! The ghostly faces are just so creepy. What a fabulous exhibition paired with Maria Lassnig at the Hamburger Kunsthalle 💜 #Art

After a lazy wknd, I felt I had to overcompensate in exercise. So I cycled home from work via the opticians in the town to the SE of me, adding ⅓ onto the journey. The arm of my glasses broke this AM, and need completely replacing 🙄 lucky i have my old pair or I’d be wearing 🕶️ for the next week!

The good thing about being as wee as I am, means I can fit into kids size tops. Picked this ultra warm (maybe shower-resistant) mid-layer jacket for 36€ (9€ cashback from the resort GoPass).

We’ve had to ask for a room change at our hotel because next door’s family are sick and were coughing all night waking my friend up. 70’s built hotel, so no sound proofing. At 120€/night (booked 2-3 months in advance) it’s pretty poor. However, nice surroundings! #Slovakia #TatryMountains #Travel

At Auschwitz and there are multiple families with children under 10, despite the age recommendation being 14. I mean wtf? Would YOU bring your 8-10 year old to such a site?? Sprachlos

If you’re Berlin based and want a good quick ish food recommendation, I highly suggest you try Ham Ham Manakish in Lichtenberg, near station. Got all this for less than 20€ w/ drinks. The Fatta (far right) was ultra yummy, chickpea, roasted cashews and pomegranate! Sehr lecker 😋🤤

This! From @itsalovelylife.bsky.social newsletter today sums up the ridiculous claims Drumpf and his morons make about the elections being stolen… if they were stealing then, then he wouldn’t have won in 2016 and 2024 🤦‍♀️

No Flix, These are not suitable alternatives for the cancellation of the only train running HH to Köln!! 😡 if they mess up my trains next month too I’ll never use them again.

Whilst Stalin was a different kind of dictator/fascist himself, I still think he would be ashamed at the reversal of Russian ideology under Putin, especially after they lost so many soldiers fighting the Nazis 😕 #Ww2 #SovietHistory #Treptow #Memorial

Flix said my train had been moved forward 2 hours to 9:33. Whilst waiting the 2 hours for my delayed train, it seems that my original train was still running ?!?! 😡 seriously wtf?! I’ve spent longer waiting for this train than it takes to drive to Berlin 😑🙄

Y’day I went to see my husband’s tree and cycled the 33km home. Note to self: just because it’s windy, doesn’t mean you don’t need suncream 🤦‍♀️ oops! 🙊 Also headwind ALL the way home and was faster than the forecast claimed. Not fun.

Tonight I got to see Mario Adrion…. *That* German comedian who does the risqué nazi/Bad Germany jokes. He was very good! And heard non-Reels jokes 😅 Interesting to see the only thing that really shows up on a search here are his modelling photos! So here’s one of him “in action”

Cheerful (/sarcasm… albeit essential) reading for the journey home… went to buy this in December but balked at paying 35€ for it.

I’ve got a human „tangle teaser“ to use on their bellies and she loves this brush on her face. You do need to comb (semi-regular) plus use an undercoat brush (every 2-3 mths) on them to keep the coats matt-free. I do have to vacuum x2 wkly bc of them moulting. But I ❤️ their fluffiness

Reposting my work from yesterday. I had my location visible, which I’m not comfortable with. Anyway, x17 25kg bags of Zierstein lugged to get my path along the side of the house almost finished 😮‍💨😅 It got sooo muddy, smthg had to be done! Next, shade-loving plants to go in the bed 🙂

WTH is Flix doing? Their train costs more than the ICE for a similar departure time! Can only assume it must be the start of Schulferien in NRW that week?!! (This is the last Tuesday in June fyi). Thankfully the outward was only 6,50€ on the Saturday before 🙄 (& is quicker than this 7+ hr journey!)

The thing about living at the edge of the town with fields nearby is the random visitors from local nature! I’d noticed the tracks when I opened the curtains but assumed they were hares 😅 #LoveNature

I tried to bake cookies 😂 instead the mixture melted and they’re now more like a thin chewy cookie/biscuit #bakingfails Still tasty though!
