Dust on Both Sides

Writer, cat-caretaker, lichen-photographer, theatre-goer, music-enjoyer, kylux-lover, embroiderer, gardener, polyglot. Sometimes I write and/or post NSFW stuff. A she/her flying the 🖤🤍💜flag, and a proud Czech who's too old for pearl-clutching.
This week I'm on afternoon shift again, and I came to the conclusion that I can't keep buying my dinner from fast food joints or order deliveries. I need to start making bento again. So while I'll get today's meal from Baguette Boulevard, for tomorrow, I've prepared niku (mugi)miso.
Listening to 'Take a pebble' by Emerson, Lake & Palmer on a hot Sunday night/Monday morning is so... 😌😌😌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb6x...
Again and again I gaze on the extremely simple plate I finished turning on the lathe today using scrap wood, and I just go /It's so beautiful... 🥺✨/ (I'm planing to decorate it with a small, hand-held wood mill tomorrow.)
Saw a roebuck out of my window, grazing near the gate. Called "Či-čiiiii" at him (=Czech version of Pstpstpst, or however you transcribe it) in the spur of the moment. The buck looked my way. But more importantly, something headbutted my foot, and when I looked down, it was Blackie.
Can car Bluesky explain to me why this car is so weirdly long? (Also, love the way it blends in with the dry, sun-burnt lawn 🤭)
A couple of years back, I've visited the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range. After descending from Mt. Šerák to the village Ramzová, I missed my train back to Šumperk where my hotel was... because there were no trains in service at that time due to construction work.

Hear strange rumbling coming through closed windows. Has the downpour gotten that bad? It stops raining. Rumbling is still there - and it has a rhythm. Check the date. Aaah, Benátská Noc is starting tonight. (The festival site is almost 4km away from my place and I can still hear it pretty well.😅)
My people-shyness is quite funny. With some of my 🇯🇵 colleagues I have trouble speaking up. With others... Today I was throwing out some trash, but the box was heavy, and lo and behold, M-san from the toolroom came by. So I hollered: Mさーん!!! 強い男が必要でーす! He stopped immediately and came to help me.
Currently in the "Why am I awake?😑" stage of the morning.
He just became a dad! Or granddad? Either way, he woke up only to find his little princess curled up against him, diligently cleaning three little mewling, wet tissue-looking munchkins. His breath held, he gently petted the back of her neck and watched over her till she & the lil'ones fell asleep.
I've just bought my first pride bracelet, pride pin, pride badge, pride scarf, aaaand... yes. Pride shoelaces. With amoral populists and conservatives at the helm of our government, I feel like I have to show some support.
I've re-watched the movie 'In This Corner of the World' again, and again, I was left a sobbing mess. God-dammit. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
If you see this, post an anime you love (It appears Mouryou no Hako, my fav anime, doesn't have any gifs here, so I'm posting one from my other fav series, Gatchaman Crowds, which has a heroine unlike any I've seen in anime before.)
Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog (Aah well, close enough. 😅)
Made stovetop mac'n'cheese for dinner. (I've been wanting to try my hand at this recipe for quite a while now.) Uncle /loved/ it, and so did I. 🤤 Used smoked meat instead of pancetta, and my pasta of choice was the interestingly-shaped gigli.
Another drawing of a Pokémon, and this time it's Litten, a fire Pokémon from Alola, drawn for my friend and fellow trainer @notlikely.bsky.social . His coat was drawn using ten different colours ranging from red to brown and black. #Pokémon #PoGo #pencildrawing
Nějaké čtyři roky zpátky měl Kaván opravdu nádhernou výstavu v Liberci. Některé obrazy mě neskutečně zasáhly. Je neuvěřitelné, že není víc proslulý. (Koupila jsem si tam asi tříkilovou knihu jeho tvorby. Drahá, ale stála za to. 👍)
Also, on the 1st of March I've planted ten tomato seeds. Five of them sprouted, and today I've re-potted them into bigger containers. So here - enjoy a photo of the younglings, living their best vaporwave lives.🍅
Also, I may start to phase the roses out, because they don't grow very well in our soil (which is fairly clay-rich). Black spot disease is a huge problem here. On the other hand, peonies do really well, as do hydrangeas. Which I still need to crop a little. 😅
All you Project Hail Mary fans - I have an opportunity to watch it tomorrow, but it'll mean I'll have to kill time in the city for a couple of hours and afterwards most likely take a taxi home. Is it worth seeing on the silver screen, or should I wait for a home release?
Made the gyudon from justonecookbook for dinner, and it was so frickin' delicious! Sadly, I don't have proper food bowls for a donburi, and I also served it with a poached egg rather than onsen tamago as it's faster to make, but it was just... 😚👌. So good. #和食
Here we go. A little Espurr, waiting for the rain to end while hiding under a burdock leaf, drawn for my friend @darthastris.bsky.social . #Pokémon #TraditionalDrawing #Espurr
Sprigatito - the cutest of the Paldean Pokémon. 💚🌱🐈 #Pokémon
Maomao and Jinshi's interactions are so amusing! As for the Witch Hat Atelier, I'll let the art speak for itself. (The whole magic system of that world is really well done, the worldbuilding is awesome, the characters are intriguing, and the style is simply gorgeous.)
Okay. After finishing my last kylux pic, I'm kind of lacking in the (drawing) inspiration, so let's do this. I might come to regret it, but for now I'm confident.🌱 (Novel/game/anime characters are preferred, but strictly speaking anything goes.)
