I thought I had one little hedgehog in my garden but it turned out that there are 3 - most likely mom with two pups. 🦔🦔🦔 Are young hedgehogs called pups? 🤔

Not a harvest worth writing home about but it's home grown and organic. There are more potatoes to come as well as beans.

36° C (that's 96.8 F) today 🥵. And like most of my fellow Germans I don't have AC in my home. But I'm glad for the triplex glass of my windows and the very decent insulation of the walls. Both are worth every penny I paid for it in 2010.

A car alarm in the neighborhood woke me up last night. Went outside to check. Didn't find anything suspicious but caught sight of the moon. The night sky looked really lovely, didn't it?

It was rather hot today so I took a shower in the rain (obviously before I filmed it), and washed my hair on the porch with shampoo and plenty of rainwater.

Left - still in the process of getting installed, right - (ta-da) finished! New hot water storage tank and all the rest you need to heat your house (once it's cold again outside) with gas.

I'm so annoyed with the guy from the insurance company. I've been trying to contact him for a week now. Didn't even apologize when I finally got him on the phone. Yes, maybe he didn't get my email but explain the six or so phone calls!

That white shape in the picture on the left is a bird's house which I hung up earlier this year. A family of great tits occupies it. Mom or perhaps dad (on the right) was watching me when I took the picture. 👀

Three sets with a total of 36 reps with a new weight of 101 kilos (that should be about 222 lbs) on the leg press. I hope I'll be able to make it home on my bicycle later, not to mention walking tomorrow.

I could be wrong but I think this is enough firewood to get me through the next one or three winters. I've a particular fondness for two of the wooden crates. I wonder why. 🤔😁

I love buying new hardware. People tell you that it's incredibly easy to install, and the user manual is in a gazillion languages with your native tongue wedged somewhere between Finnish and Hungarian, and not nearly as thorough as you hoped it would be.

Received a load of firewood yesterday afternoon but managed to stow it away neatly in the shed, which I had tidied and cleaned before the delivery. Face planted in my bed not much later last evening.

Pope Leo quoted Gandalf in 'Magnifica Humanitas' — are we listening?
As we witness the rise of AI and the spread of violence and hatred across the globe, we can draw wisdom from both a fictional wizard and a very real pope.

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10
a gray and white australian koolie with bright blue eyes looks directly at the camera with a tongue-out smile. he's wearing a blue vest and the sun shines down upon him.Bear stands on charred ground wearing his blue vest and red booties. he looks up toward the sky. he's presumably found a koala high up in a tree.Bear sits low to the ground on a sandy beach. the waves of the ocean come in behind him, but he's too focused on the orange and yellow ball sitting in front of him to notice.

Visited the @donkeysanctuary.bsky.social today. Seeing those wonderful donkeys living the life they deserve restored some of my faith in humanity. Thank you for the amazing work. 🫶🏻 Btw, have you considered training a sniffer dog to find the collars the donkeys never tire of "loosing"?
