So, my first Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social book arrived. We'll know soon if I shall thank Mr Oswald @sirbenfro.bsky.social for his recommendation of Adrian Tchaikovsky's books or not. 😉 It's starting good already with an anniversary edition "sticker" on the cover. Bonus content. More book.

So I went to Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany today for some shopping and vegan food. Hello, @tkingfisher.com *waves excitedly* Needless to say, Wolf Worm is not residing on that shelf anymore.

So, dear readers, let me tell you about last week's Friday. I was minding my own business, cussing the customers inside my head for putting a spray bottle of stain remover on the floor when they suddenly became a lot more cussworthy. I bent down and picked the bottle up by the cap, as one does. 1/3

My neighbour knows the bestest life hacks. 🤪 Quite some time ago she said I should get a cream with bee venom for my aching muscles and joints. And yesterday she told me to put old batteries into the soil close to my tomatoes; that'd make them grow like crazy. I'd been meaning to google... 1/3

So. Went to fill up the car this morning. In front of the gas station, between the entrance and the car wash, was this dude. All in black, black hat, roguishly unkempt dark curley hair, beard. Kinda cute. While I was filling her up, he kept talking, coughing weirdly, waving his hands about. 1/3

Ich fürchte, mein Chef nimmt mich nicht ernst. Nachdem ich ihn heute gefragt hatte, ob er mir ein Kniekissen kauft (wir werden alle nicht jünger...), sagte er, er würde mir auch noch einen Rollator besorgen. "Mit einem Körbchen vorne dran, wo Sie Sachen rein tun können... Und mit Fuchsschwanz."

Does anyone recall the episode of Castle in which a cosmetic surgeon is found dead? For a minute there is a female suspect who has had an insane number of surgeries and looks.... terrifying. (Apparently the makeup people made the actress's lips out of wax.) 1/2

Standing in line at the register of a small Turkish supermarket yesterday. The woman in front of me is keeping up a bilingual conversation with her crabby toddler. (It is a long line and the guy at the register is.... erm.... not the fastest.) Boy says something. 1/2

So, after a long period of scheduling issues I finally visited a dear friend last weekend and brought home - among other things - a nasty cold and my Christmas present (see LONG period...), @sirbenfro.bsky.social's Broken Ghosts. Gotta say, I like the book a lot better than the other gift from her.

Goosebumps.... only Atlantis by Donovan when near the end he says "Hail Atlantis". Fitting the question - I once heard a very interesting song on the radio, and they gave artist and title, sort of. Took me ages to get my hands on it, but mainly because Malicorne are apparently too obscure, 1/2

*snort* So I was just leaving the grocery store when a couple with three big yellow dogs approached, deep in conversation. One of the dogs veered off the path in my direction, and when I said "well, hello there," he half jumped at me/the bag of peppers I had just bought. 1/1

Heute im Radio zufällig einen Kommentar von Fritz Eckenga gehört, der kurz das Thema Grönland streifte. "... dieser ungünstig frisierte Soziopath aus Washington..." Heard a comment on the radio today that briefly mentioned Greenland. And "this unfavourably coiffed sociopath from Washington". 😂
