You may benefit from seeing this ridiculously cute kitten.

I caught a really nice close up of a (bumble?) bee yesterday. Look at the adorable fluffiness!! It was very patient as I tried to get the right angle to see its white bum. ❤️

Mullerthal ride. It was sooo nice. Visit Luxembourg and all that. Not sponsored content. 😄

@ascentale@sfba.social @RayKuntz@mastodon.social @pete@masto.hypertelia.com @bikenite@fedigroups.social A7: I gave my old road bike to a friend, her boyfriend used it, left it somewhere overnight and got it stolen. I’m STILL mad about it 8 years later. Sorry it’s not a feel good story.

I’d been feeling unusually tense / stressed / down (okay, sick cat didn’t help), but I finally went on a “real” bike ride yesterday and was transformed! Felt much more resilient.
Also interesting: I bought a new, spikier acupressure mat. It’s INTENSE. Too painful in the evenings. But last night, post bike ride? Fine!
iPhone reminded me that today is my Squish’s adoptaversary. 10 years, too!! She’s the best little girl I could wish for. 😻
She’s lying next to me like on the second photo right now, purring loudly. ❤️

Happy Pride Month from meeeee and Niederanven 🏳️🌈😄
Instagram has started showing me “stop drinking” ads. Not sure why. You’re 17 years too late, Instagram!
Look at the pretty colours on my hydrangea.

Finally sat down to start my long overdue letter to penpal. 😶

And will you look at this green forest. Now it’s finally rained, it feels denser, shinier, more intense. It’s like plunging straight into green. Surrounded by green. Hugged by green. It’s so great. 💚

Wow. I’ve been SO fantastically grumpy. But I made myself go out. Found some sheep with the cutest bleats, then a butterfly who let me photograph it (!), then two guys who admired my beautiful bike, and now I’m *big smile* 😃😄
EN: drag and drop.
LB: eriwwerzéien a lassloossen

Apparently DE: ziehen und ablegen.
Zéien an ofleeën! Would've been better.
In my book (Suite Française, yes I read slowly 😅), the French are saying “at our house, we don’t live on German time”.
Huh, I thought, European countries still had different time zones then. So I looked it up and it’s kinda fascinating. First to implement CET: The Kingdom of Serbia (1884). Luxembourg joined in 1904, but left again in 1918. 😅 (after the first German occupation)
BUT THEN! A whole bunch of countries were switched to CET under German occupation in 1940, and never switched back!! 😆 So, poor Frenchies in my book would be “on German time” forevermore.
Also interesting: “Portugal used CET in the years 1966–1976 and 1992–1996.”

@EricIndiana@mastodon.social aw. I love how you kept editing the post as the mystery evolved. 😄
But yeah, now we expect as good from them!
Replying to
@eclectech@things.uk @Theriac@plasmatrap.com In German it’s called “Urlaub auf Balkonien”, holiday in Balconyland. In Lux we say “mat der Heibleifskäerchen”, holiday with the staying-here-cart. Less ambiguous imo.
Writing this sitting on my terrace. 😄

@ceciestmontpouet@piaille.fr en effet. "Je suis partie quand le Cap-Ferret a été évacué. Il y avait énormément de monde sur la route. On se serait cru un dimanche soir en retour de plage. C'était un peu anxiogène déjà."
Elle a ensuite été évacuée une seconde fois de son domicile. 😐

The fucking cat sitting on my nightstand to make me feed him, instead of going to the kitchen where THERE IS FOOD. 😡

@jollysea@chaos.social @rami@chaos.social Danke, ist nett, dass du an mich denkst. 😃 Aber meine Preise sind auf Luxemburgisch ausgerichtet. EN>DE-Übersetzer*innen kriegt man bedeutend günstiger als mich. 😅
Just made an email template called "Platitudes" which starts "Hi all, Hope you are well."
This after remembering half an hour after sending an email that I forgot this again. 😶 (It was otherwise very polite tho. But still. Social lubricant! I suck at it!)
Woke up to vicious cat fighting. Ran outside to separate them. The yowling stopped when I got closer. I waited a bit, then went back inside… where Squish was waiting for me. She wasn’t involved at all! 😅 Phew.

Also checked out a vocabulary app by the same publisher. There are not MANY mistakes, but there should be zero!

@spandexpunk haha, thanks! I felt a bit ambiguous about it before buying, but am very happy with it/him.

Also, the rats are COURIERED?? Like, in a little box with holes in them? (I'm guessing they're not tossed in with the regular mail 😅 but must admit I am curious how it works...)

Two boring kitchens tho!! They could do with some of that steampunk energy.
