I was talking with a friend about how a former colleague of his drove her car into a ditch in snowy weather in Finland and was assisted almost immediately. I told him if it happened to me in Germany, I would probably die in the ditch because no one could be bothered to help.

I know some people think it’s cool to walk on the frozen river/canal when it’s -2C but actually, it’s really fucking stupid.

My child has started constantly saying "digga" which is hilarious. (For those who don't know, this is German slang for something along the lines of "dude.")

I like HWM but my capacity for two shows in a week is not there. Plus I have Swedish class on Thursdays. Also have been wanting to see Tigers Jaw and Oso Oso for FOREVER.

That's a lot. I'm taking Swedish classes but it's only once a week. Twice a week would definitely break my brain a little.

Friends, especially those in Germany, get a corona booster. My husband and I were laid low last week by the new variant, 'XFG Stratus.' (Sounds like a fun game--it's not!) In Berlin, you can get the COVID shot or a flu shot at the Long Night of Vaccination this Wednesday.

Big ups to the support guy who dealt with lots of my "Wie bitte?"s and who definitely was sort of laughing at me after we did troubleshooting and solved the problem. Moral of the story: there is none. But Apple Watch really seems to have been made by someone who has never been a parent.

Natalye @natalye.bsky.social · 23/09/2025
Another hour of finagling today and a call to support where we determined that even though his watch is signed in to Apple and the linked iPhone is signed in to Apple, one has to also go into the settings in the Watch app on the phone and sign in again. Which setup never prompted me to do.

Natalye @natalye.bsky.social · 23/09/2025
Unlike the usual seamless onboarding of Apple products, this was such a pain. Probably spent about six hours troubleshooting last night to get it all how I wanted. And it all worked, except we couldn't see his location in Find My.

Got an Apple Watch for our kid because the Xplora he's had for nearly two years is SOOOO buggy (battery doesn't charge properly, it freezes, it doesn't show location, it has to be restarted constantly). Plus he has been so responsible with his other watch that we felt confident buying him one.
