Haven't changed this lockscreen ever since I took the pic. They're forever with me 🥰 And I solemnly swear I didn't make them pose (good luck trying that they stood still at your will, specially Pompi 🤣) is just that they were waiting for treatos

I don't have a problem, I don't have a problem AT ALL you heard me. It's totally normal to re read a whole fic from the beginning everytime the author post a new chapter. I said 🤣

Y'all my pan is seasoned 🥰 it heats up so fast it made me recall this Tumblr thread 🤣🤣 www.tumblr.com/elodieunderg...

Discussion in Tumblr about how tea is supposed to be brewed in hot water that derives in a convo about insane amount of time one user takes to boil water on the stove

MercuRea @mercureabrand.eurosky.social · 16/10/2026

Ehehehehe It's been acquired. The instructions are wild though, boil water on it 2-3 times to eliminate production residue, oil it and bake it until it absorbs. If anyone has more recs for cast iron w enamel coated inside they're appreciated 😁

Spotted on my wall today. The autumny weather was so nice I couldn't resist, although my back doesn't agree w me 🤣 I need to know why the common name of the first one is peanut butter plant, but considering it's on my city, and is bigger than I am it could be a good candidate for my garden fence 😁

G'morning to you too mr. magpie Also crazy mourning dove is back 🙃 Idk what's going on with it, it's been terrorising the other doves who try to come to the feeder (territorial behaviour?) but it doesn't face off the jackdaws, only chase other doves away (Glass door dirty af will have to clean it 🤣)

In the distant future i'd like to find that substance that people spread over furniture and it takes out paint, because my desk was NOT originally white, and I want to see what the wood underneath looks like (also the top is destroyed by paint/glue 😅) if it's not good I'll repaint but I want to try

Advances: a secretary (a side table with only 2 front legs and is anchored to the wall in the back) this we made with the parts of the cabinet we used for the living' mirror (surprised by the wood's quality, old veneer is amazing and doesn't chip when cut) and full body mirror added too

Just started and I'm already loving it. I'm calling it in French "manteau" bc the word resembles "manta" (blanket in Spanish) and it already weighs 1kg (what do u expect if u use upholstery fabric 🤣 I tell myself). (We also have the word "manto" in Spanish, but that's more translated as shroud)

Not me googling if butterflies can fly after falling in water bc yesterday I saved this dumb bug from my rain barrel 🤦🏻‍♀️. I dried it gently blowing and put it on the mint so it could have a snack. Yesterday it moved the wings but it spent the night there. It's still alive though so I hope it can fly
