A new gold statue showing Donald Trump, naked and balanced atop the back of a meek man, has been unveiled today in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg. The eight-foot installation, titled The Orange Plague, is attributed to "The King of Injustice."

Build Little John 🦔 a hedgehog home where in theory he could hibernate eventually. The 4th picture shows the entrance to his little castle, the other 3 are taken from the back before I piled more dead leaves and branches on top of it.

Hedgehog (I decided to call him John) found the food I left for him. The cage like contraption prevents the fat cat from the neighbours to eat the food.

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.

Old warm water storage container and central heating boiler out, new heating bits and bobs installed. Well, mostly. There's still some work to be done tomorrow.

The raspberry shrub (bush?) is still small. But there will be cherries soon. Just not from my garden.

The last strawberries and the first raspberries from my garden. I wish I could share their taste with you. 😋

Every so often some bird comes over to take a shower thanks to the sprizing water - not directly under the spray.

That's a good place in my garden to sit and listen to the water.

I haven't talked to him before. At least his company knows that it was impossible to reach him for a whole week. Once the paperwork I need is signed, I'll leave a review.

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!

I chose no ear plugs but closing the window after the trip to the loo - doesn't really matter if it's the birds or my bladder waking me up.

It's just after 4 o'clock in the morning but the birds are up and singing. <sound on> Well, it's too early for me. I'm going back to bed for another hour or four. 😴

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. 👀

Sounds like a great quote to put on a t-shirt. This ⬇️ being one of my oldest but still favourite t-shirts that I'm wearing frequently at the gym, it's fitting too.

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 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.

In my book. It's really not that much of an effort, and worth the few minutes it takes to get a fire started. And I think of a certain story that eventually will get its 3rd chapter. 🙄
