Joy. Me: “It’s my last day off work, I might as well work on Home Assistant until 1am and have a good long lie-in on Sunday” Me also forgetting that I’m living next to a corner store that apparently gets deliveries at 7am on Sundays, parking and unloading in front of my bedroom window.

We are back home and have exchanged beautiful views, serene silence and playful baby stoats in the garden for drunk people fighting in front of the pub down the road, council estate kids with face masks revving their stolen bikes and bedrooms that are too warm. *sigh* I’ll miss Wales…

Don’t get me wrong, we’re coming here for the quiet and the unbelievable views, while also being central enough to have most of north Wales within a 1 hour drive. But I’d like to be about to sit on a sofa without having to worry about it breaking completely.

I love our time here at the cottage, we’ll definitely come again. But we’ve been here 3 years ago, and it’s shocking how little the owners do for upkeep, given that they ask £1000 per week for this property. Broken sofas, cupboards, washing machine, bed frames, outdated internet.

If I could, I’d move here.

It is 7:30 in a remote cottage in Wales. I have a 1-bar signal which allows me to read texts and Bluesky. There are no people other than us in at least a mile. The world is alright for once. I’ve missed this. I wish I could live here 😂

For someone who needs darkness to sleep, a hotel can be… a challenge xD wonderful blackout curtains combined with an AC LED that brightens the room enough to walk in it unaided, light leaking through the front door and a fire alarm that twinkles every 3 seconds. I counted. 🫠

So, I’m not the biggest walker. In fact, I hardly ever walk, and I may need a rollator to get myself out a bit more. Plus people are a bit much for me. So while my other half was exploring @chesterzoo.bsky.social today, I was hiding in a quiet corner and made some friends.

Fallen autumn leaves and dark woodchip are blurred in the background.A Eurasian magpie perched on a wooden fence, seen almost full-length. Its black head and chest contrast with a white belly and shoulder patches, while the dark wings have a blue-green iridescent sheen. Reeds and rustic wooden fencing are behind it.A black-headed gull in non-breeding plumage standing on grey pavement beside a wooden structure. The gull is mostly white with a pale grey back, red legs and bill, and a small dark spot behind the eye instead of its summer chocolate-brown hood.Several Eurasian tree sparrows gathered closely along a low wooden border among fallen autumn leaves. Their warm brown wings, chestnut heads, pale cheeks, and small black cheek patches are visible. One bird in the centre is particularly round and fluffy.

That’s really something you only come to appreciate later in life.

Loving parents. Of course I had the odd fight with my parents like everyone else, and we had financial difficulties for most of my childhood, but some of the stories I’ve come across since really brought into perspective how lucky I was, and how many people really struggled.

I have been working from home for the last year. I’m disabled, no other way to describe it anymore. I barely move throughout the day. We haven’t been on holiday in years due to a lack of funds. I have just been out for the first time in a year and my everything hurts 😅 Time for a rollator.

My Dungeon Crawler Carl fanart! I finished Book 8 and felt the urge to pick up the pen 🏃‍♂️🐈🦖 #DCC #DungeonCrawlerCarl

I have made two comments in German and six or seven posts in English, yet somehow 90% of my recommended content is now German. Hmm.

Going on holiday is so stressful 🫣

Hergen @reallyverybeary.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Luggage pretty much packed. Cat fed. Personal hygiene reasonably accomplished. Fresh towels folded. Oli is picking our house/cat sitter up in an hour, until then I’m trying to keep his ADHD in check. To do: Hoovering, bathroom cleaning, bed, laptops/chargers, buying driving snacks/breakfast 🥵

Ich denke, dass da der Gedanke der ausgewogenen Berichterstattung ad absurdum geführt wird und und man sich dem Toleranz-Paradoxon komplett ergeben hat. „Ja, aber wir müssen doch beide Seiten zeigen“ - jemandem Grundrechte absprechen zu wollen darf kein (Sende-)Platz gegeben werden.

Getting ready for team building days in Chester from Thursday to Saturday. And then straight into two weeks of holiday, one of which is spent in Wales. I can’t wait to be back at Beudy Cefn. We couldn’t afford a holiday the last three years (really can’t, still), but I -need- it.

I find them less annoying, more confounding. I don’t like their look particularly, but different strokes for different people, maybe a test crawl would make me love them

Sitting in the waiting room at the dentist and clearly there must be something about crocs that I’m missing, because four out of five men between 25 and 60 appear to be wearing them 🤔

My god, @bsky.app will take some HEAVY getting used to… no automatic account switching when one account receives a reply, no edit function, tiny posts… I’m a long-form communicator, and I replied on the wrong account 😭

It was an australian wool core duvet from back when we had moneys xD I’m not telling Oli that though, he was distraught about it as it was. New duvet is ordered snd should be here tomorrow.

*rubs temples* I’m not sure what’s worse, people without ethics and morals trying to prey on people, or people being dumb enough to fall for it.

Hergen @reallyverybeary.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Yeah I already went through that, got turned down by automatic moderation. Sent some last Hail Mary attempts via email, but I doubt that will result in anything. That a private company, providing a service to nearly half of all humans on this planet, can just remove you from existence is ridiculous.

Hergen @reallyverybeary.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Yeah I’d recommend it. I’ve been pretty down in the dumps over the last week, because it was the only way to stay in touch with some friends and family - particularly for me, who doesn’t do “staying in touch” particularly well. I can’t even properly express how shit this feels.

So, hi. This is my new home, I guess, after my meta account got banned for fraud/scam activity on my IG account. Which I hardly ever used. 20 years of friends and memories down the drain without a proper explanation. So, yeah. ‘‘Tis me. Feel free to confirm on WhatsApp, LinkedIn or through Oliver.

There we go, verification mail came through. And I ain’t gonna dance for anyone xD So, yeah, grieving the loss of my FB, IG and Threads accounts, and this is gonna be the account that risks exposing RL friends to weird furry stuff. Although hardly anyone uses Bluesky to begin with 😅
