I wish I could share what my yard smells like atm. (And yes, this was taken at 9:48pm.) #flowers #gardens #france #honeysuckle

Wishing you a lovely evening, from France. (Yes, it's still daylight)

FFS! I made myself a cream cheese and tomato sandwich. Then the #cat jumps on the counter and stomps into the middle of it. Now I have a cream cheese, tomato and CAT LITTER sandwich. *dumps the sandwich* I guess it's toast for breakfast...

I think today may be BBQ day first, and marinade the chicken in sweet chili sauce, ready for the sweet chili chicken pasta salad. I'm gonna get fat again lol.

Is there anywhere to watch the whole final #LateShow with #Colbert?

I'm gonna go to bed now. NN Bsky

Taking tablets, and washing them down with a swig from a bottle... has me worried the tablet will fall into the bottle, EVERY time. Anyone else? Just me?

All I get behind me, on the armchair across the room, right now: "Mraow. Mraow. Mraoow!" Which is Cat for "I want to go in the out!" It's sunny. I might have to take the (naked) cat for a walk.

Dear America. Has ANYONE actually READ your constitution? No? Just me, the German? Then may I point you to the 14th Amendment, Section 4?

I keep seeing those El Nino forecasts. And I keep thinking... Hurricanes are going to be horrendous this year, because now there's even more warm air / warm water where they form. Glad I don't live there, but... if I did, I think I'd move. :)

Okay. I'm back from the dentist. I lived. Filling, crown prep, a bit of cleaning -- with me shaking so much, the chair was vibrating. So next time... I'm prescribed Xanax lol. That'll be interesting. Let's see if it works. My body tends to fight stuff like that with a vengeance.

Dentist in 45 minutes and I'm already shaking like a leaf.

Made mum's "Oopsie Chicken", and went to take a pic... The thief immediately saw the opportunity lol. (She didn't get any, but damn that was close!) But at least she got to lick the plate after.

Someone please explain to my cat, that 1. No, I don't want lickies. Not on my arm. Not on my face. 2. I DEFINITELY don't want lickies 24/7 3. Plastic - any kind - is not for incessant licking either. 4. Every now and then, I'd like to type without having my fingers licked. 5. LEAVE the BIN alone!

Dear Authors. If your book is only available on Amazon / Kindle... Don't spam me with book release links. Or, at least mention "Kindle only" or "Amazon only" I'm never going to read it. I'm boycotting Amazon. Also, a LOT of people are walking away from Amazon. You might want to consider that.

Give all politicians, worldwide, zero-day contracts and minimum wage. Also make them "self employed" so there is zero job security, or any kind of benefits contribution. No provided housing, no motor pool. Let's see how many people still want to serve in government.

If Obama had ever shown any health concerns while in office, most people would have worried for him, wished a fast recovery, etc., across the world. Trump gets the sniffles? "Die pls" - The WORLD Remember when Dump (allegedly) had Covid? Everyone hoped he'd expire. Funny how that hasn't changed.

LOL LOLOL Talk about a scam!

BTW - I have nothing against individual Americans. But when there is a herd of you? Let's just say as a collective gang, you're too often ignorant, entitled A-holes with a superiority complex. I don't like that. No one likes that. Be better.

Another thought... Countries who are so gung-ho to start a war on someone else's soil? Never experienced a (modern) war on their own soil. Never had to deal with the devastation. Never had to deal with the fear. Never had to deal with the death toll. Never had to completely rebuild.

Here's a thought... I think a lot of the Americans who are for using nuclear weapons (yes, I've seen a few) don't realize that todays weapons are NOTHING like the ones used on Japan. Those were firecrackers compared to the current ones. And if ONE flies -- they ALL fly. And then we're all dead.

Question for Americans. Watching a movie atm, and was wondering... If you're the victim of an assault, and end up in hospital, with emergency surgery etc etc? Are you left with the bill afterward?

I honestly kinda dread the day the AI bubble will burst. I've seen the Dot Com bubble go boom. This isn't going to be much different, if not worse, for financial markets. But all those data centers being shut down? Good for the planet, so LET IT GO BOOM!

All the people who so vehemently approve of everything their chosen "God" (political or otherwise) imposes on "lesser" people... The power you give them today? Transfers when they are no longer in power. So, how will you feel when it transfers to someone you fear, and it's used against... you?

Dear Men, There's a pie you don't know. One slice (or several) is laced with poison -- not ALL are poisonous, but you don't know which one might kill you. Still going to take the risk and eat a slice of the strange pie? That's what we mean when we say "All men".

America, you disgust me so much.

Well, I'm awake. Sort of. Keeping an eye on the weather, because I still have laundry hanging outside (and another load to hang up) Forecast says "Light rain" this morning, but it's still dry for now.

Also... My dinner consisted of boiled potatos and sour cream. Yum.

I generally feel very mean atm, because all the equines are on a restricted diet. (Have been since December.) And then I see a donkey who is shedding the severe neck fat roll he had, and I know it's for the best. But it's HARD when you get yelled at for more food!

My day is made. Little black intruder cat gave me a full body bump against my leg just now. I think it's a girl, but still not sure. (No touchy, but we'll get there.) But for a stay/feral to make body contact is a BIG deal.

Black cat got very brave this morning and actually came onto the porch to eat, while I sat inches away from the bowl. I stayed for a couple of minutes, but it was clear s/he wasn't comfortable with me sitting there. So I went inside to let it eat in peace. (Don't know the gender yet.)

Went to make coffee this morning. As I stand there, one of my cats YELLS in the living room. And yells, and yells. Me, going "What do you WANT?" Cat walks into the kitchen, looks at me and YELLS at me. Cuddles. She wanted cuddles. The moment I sat down, she's on my lap, purring, batting my face.

I seem to have gained a new mousekeeper. The black one has shown up the past couple of days, morning and evening, for some food. Seems young, but extremely shy. Hungry enough so I can be on the other side of the screen door when he/she eats. Lots of hissing from the barn cat, but both have food.

Weather incoming. We need the rain, but not when I have laundry on the line omg lol

Not feeling too good today. Cold, achy, sniffly. It's not a cold tho, just my body acting up. Sucks to get old and shit breaking down.

okay, I've muted that tennessee holler account. I mean... overshare much? Geebus, every other post on my timeline was from that account. Enough is enough.

Tablet arrived. It's... ok. The cameras are crap, which was to be expected.

#Banished Just in case anyone wonders what Banished looks like. :) Game Screenshot. (Just started a new city, using MegaMod or whatever it's called.)

Oooohhh 3 drops of rain!

I've recently rediscovered "Banished" and I'm loving it. I'd never played with mods, and, dang... so much fun. :) Yes, I know the game is old, but I don't care. Fun is fun. #banished #gaming

I have (had) some cold cuts that were slightly borderline. The cats are cheering. :)

I've looked in the local shops for a tablet. My choice was: Really expensive name brand one, or crappy non brand one. I got miffed. All I want it for is to read in bed. I prefer actual books, but my eyesight is failing and I need a lot of light now. Ended up ordering one online. We'll see.

Heard about this "Assassination attempt" Considering all the people who have guns in the US and scream about their rights... What for? Seems like you can't hit what you shoot at, anyway. Also, if it was a real threat, there is no way they'd let the president continue.

"find people to follow" um. yeah.
