I know in 4 months we‘ll all be complaining about the cold, but I wish this bastard heat would F off. My outside boiler temp says it’s 43c ! #ThisIsNotNormal if I wanted 30+ temps I’d go to the med. However, this, and extreme cold winters are gonna be the norm 😢
After a lazy wknd, I felt I had to overcompensate in exercise. So I cycled home from work via the opticians in the town to the SE of me, adding ⅓ onto the journey. The arm of my glasses broke this AM, and need completely replacing 🙄 lucky i have my old pair or I’d be wearing 🕶️ for the next week!
This explanation from @alimcforever.bsky.social on the collapse of the AMOC in simple enough terms a child can understand is frightening AF. If we sit back & do nothing, we could see planetary collapse in c **11 years** !! #climatechangeisreal www.facebook.com/share/v/1HUz...

Who here has heard of #Roost and/or wants to connect? I’ve not quite figured out what it’s about yet, other than potentially making new connections based on your interests and that messages are sent in real time based on the bird you’ve chosen (how long it takes for it to fly) 🦅
Back in Deutschland and it’s 15+c warmer than it was in Slovakia !! 3 more trains then at least I’m back home. The closure of the RE/RB/Fernzug through HH HBF adds 60-90 minutes to my journey 😑 thanks DB!
Does @chrisgpackham.bsky.social need to promote this petition a bit more? Thanks to @jewelthin.bsky.social for highlighting it!
🌴@jewelthin.bsky.social · 2w agoLess than 35,000 signatures and Chris Packham no less petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76... Does it show Brits are either not aware or just don't care? In the case of the "green" BlueSkyers who see this petition regularly and don't sign or share 🤯☠️
The good thing about being as wee as I am, means I can fit into kids size tops. Picked this ultra warm (maybe shower-resistant) mid-layer jacket for 36€ (9€ cashback from the resort GoPass).
One advantage of being in the middle of nowhere is the incredible night sky! #Photography #Travel #NightSky #Slovakia #ŠtrbskéPleso
We’ve had to ask for a room change at our hotel because next door’s family are sick and were coughing all night waking my friend up. 70’s built hotel, so no sound proofing. At 120€/night (booked 2-3 months in advance) it’s pretty poor. However, nice surroundings! #Slovakia #TatryMountains #Travel
Auschwitz was every bit sobering as I expected. What I didn’t expect was to be overwhelmed by the size of Birkenau. Looking at maps/pictures doesn’t illustrate the immensity of the site. Wish we hadn’t booked an organised tour because at both sites the time felt too short (& that’s w/ nearly 4 hrs!)
At Auschwitz and there are multiple families with children under 10, despite the age recommendation being 14. I mean wtf? Would YOU bring your 8-10 year old to such a site?? Sprachlos
If you’re Berlin based and want a good quick ish food recommendation, I highly suggest you try Ham Ham Manakish in Lichtenberg, near station. Got all this for less than 20€ w/ drinks. The Fatta (far right) was ultra yummy, chickpea, roasted cashews and pomegranate! Sehr lecker 😋🤤
Ominous sky! Thunderstorm about to hit here! #StormClouds #Nature #photography #FromTheTrain #Travel
This! From @itsalovelylife.bsky.social newsletter today sums up the ridiculous claims Drumpf and his morons make about the elections being stolen… if they were stealing then, then he wouldn’t have won in 2016 and 2024 🤦♀️
Treated myself to a cold brew flask from Aldi… had my first one today and omg! Don’t need milk and it’s so damn tasty!! 🤤 it makes a lot of coffee though !
Accidentally become a member of the 5am club! Woke at 5 both last two mornings and needed loo, so got up anyway. Tbh I’ve had a ton of chores to finish off this morning before work, so that suits me okay. Will be late to bed tonight though so I’m in for a LOOOOOOOOng day 😣
Like with everything, this administration are so dumb they keep doing these self-owns 🤦♀️😂😂😂
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3w agoWhoopsie daisy. 🤣😂🤣😂
Does anyone else have a strict: now I must stop doing stuff and chill, time? I go to bed fairly early so I want to stop chores no later than 19:00 and start to feel stressed if I go too much over this deadline. Is it a spectrum thing? Or just having a routine?
Thank you bladder for waking me up to pee, but no thanks for not being able to sleep again for **3 !!!** hours !! 😣 have to force myself to do a workout after work today too 😞
Wordle 1,851 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Woot! 🙌 🎉 I’ll need another new starting word again 😂
Just seen this on FB… www.facebook.com/share/v/1F2S... And he points out all the things about it that are just odd/weird & that i noticed too. My thought? He’s incapacitated, possibly on life support and they’re keeping him “alive” to avoid the special election #MitchMcConnell

It’s #Caturday and here’s two I snapped of my #ScottishFold girl the other day. She can be so photogenic sometimes 😻🥰
Friday. After last night’s shallow sleep* I definitely needed two this morning! *watch says otherwise, I say I know how I slept 😑
Did anyone else punch the air with a YASS y‘day when FuckFrogFaceFarage announced his resignation? It would be utterly brilliant if @countbinface.bsky.social won the bi-election. Sadly, the majority of voters in Clacton don’t give a shit their MP is a literal criminal 😑
@acrylicafternoons.bsky.social I just replied to your email, which i *do* still have, filed in „to see to“ 🙈 dated 18.6.2008 (!!) it has bounced 🤦♀️ … I mean 18 years isn’t that long is it? 😂 so glad I met M and that she told me you were there 💜 Hope you got back safely
