Apparently in heatwaves I build Lego - 10368 Botanicals Crysanthemum Maybe some sweaty Returnal later? Or something more relaxing? Or maybe I melt www.twitch.tv/puzzledmonke...

Me, hot and sweatily shirtless again but tastefully(?) covered by the box of Lego Set 10368: Botanicals Crysanthemum showing the completed model of orange flowers in a green and gold pot on a black background. Brown plush Chair Monkey is flopping over my shoulder, which is pretty much how I feel too
