sometimes she sends me pictures as if to taunt me, but them she does something lovely like bring me back my own tiramisu.

NIGHT TRAIN!!! IT IS CHAOS!!! BUT WE HAVE SNACKS!!! i am staying out of the way while sam faffs.
me, a small ginger dog, looking at a dark window in which you can only see my reflection. there is an emergency bashing spot at the top of the window, and there is a foldy little door next to me so we could talk to our neighbour if we wanted.

our time in munich has been pleasantly lacking in these. sometimes having a sensitive hoom is an good thing.

yesterday i learned why munchen is called munchen. monks. they were all that was here when the nobility decided to settle the place, so the documents all said "the place with the monks". apparently they were gotten rid of, but i am still somewhat concerned about possible ambushes.

a day of trains. we may be able to get out and have a look around, but sam says it depends how busy it is and how anxious she is. we have to use deutsche bahn for a large bit of the journey so we expect the anxious to be high.

apparently these are supposed to last us a few days. the flappy jacky things might but those macaroons are not long for this world.

til australia invented the cricket tea. they started it in the 1880s to keep hydrated because of their hotter playing season and when they came to the uk in the 1890s they made having tea each day a condition of doing the tour.

we have received good news regarding one of our mwah ha ha plots, which is quite the relief. being anxious about things really cuts into my ability to plan more mwah ha has.

sam slept a lot longer and better today than she did yesterday, so she is not in a bad mood, just a fuddled one (she says hopefully). but we are not taking any chances, so tog has been asking about octopuses every time she looks frowny.

Gromit @samsgromit.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
RIGHT. first thing i did when sam came through was demand to know what all this was about. she sighed and put my cuppa down and asked if i remembered what we had talked about her making before flopsy gets her winter hoodie remastered. and so now i am also going to say MWAH HA HA HA.

good things about sam being home between nights: there is more baking being done. or there will be. there is dough growing in big bowls on the airer at the moment.

we are watching hamzas wild isles, and hamza is talking about what you need to do to see foxes. "go and sit quietly in a green space," he says. "or any of our bus stops," replies sam.

Gromit @samsgromit.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
she has been baking. some of these are supposed to go to niblings to get them through starting school again. some are for late night snacking here. how many depends on what is left after i share with you lot. **cayk tunnel klaxon**

sam finishes this batch of her nights at 6am tomorrow, so we can be our full selves again "from about 1ish". we are spending this evening doing our warm up exercises for FULL CHAOS, so we can really help her wake up and readjust to day hours.

TWO eclipse viewers, because sam knows i will need one as well.
two cadbury choc ice boxes with holes cut in them and covered in parcel tape and foil. they are standing viewing end up on a table, so you can see the square holes cut in them for looking in and the foil with very carefully punctured tiny holes in for the sun to shine through.
