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 🤦♀️
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 😞
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 😑
No Flix, These are not suitable alternatives for the cancellation of the only train running HH to Köln!! 😡 if they mess up my trains next month too I’ll never use them again.
139€/St. that’s pretty impressive for a courier job! #ImportanceOfProofreading #Job #AdvertFail
Whilst Stalin was a different kind of dictator/fascist himself, I still think he would be ashamed at the reversal of Russian ideology under Putin, especially after they lost so many soldiers fighting the Nazis 😕 #Ww2 #SovietHistory #Treptow #Memorial
Flix said my train had been moved forward 2 hours to 9:33. Whilst waiting the 2 hours for my delayed train, it seems that my original train was still running ?!?! 😡 seriously wtf?! I’ve spent longer waiting for this train than it takes to drive to Berlin 😑🙄
Y’day I went to see my husband’s tree and cycled the 33km home. Note to self: just because it’s windy, doesn’t mean you don’t need suncream 🤦♀️ oops! 🙊 Also headwind ALL the way home and was faster than the forecast claimed. Not fun.
Apparently it’s not clear from the picture who the female human and dog are?!? 🤦♀️ 😂
Tonight I got to see Mario Adrion…. *That* German comedian who does the risqué nazi/Bad Germany jokes. He was very good! And heard non-Reels jokes 😅 Interesting to see the only thing that really shows up on a search here are his modelling photos! So here’s one of him “in action”
Cheerful (/sarcasm… albeit essential) reading for the journey home… went to buy this in December but balked at paying 35€ for it.
Lovely gig from @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social A joy to hear Lights Go Out All Over Europe ❤️ Didn’t seem to be many who were singing along though (language barrier?) Hard to pick 4 favourite photos but hopefully these are good enough 😆
Hey @chrisgpackham.bsky.social this beauty is visiting my sister and they’re so courageous they’re coming right up to her decking when she’s there! #UrbanFoxes
Dear Facebook auto translate: A Wertstoffhof is not an „asset farm“ ffs!!!! It’s a material recycling centre. Hof means yard not farm in this instance 🤦♀️ #TranlationFail #Don‘tTrustAI
I’ve got a human „tangle teaser“ to use on their bellies and she loves this brush on her face. You do need to comb (semi-regular) plus use an undercoat brush (every 2-3 mths) on them to keep the coats matt-free. I do have to vacuum x2 wkly bc of them moulting. But I ❤️ their fluffiness
We‘ve had this conversation but happy to repeat 😅 mine are Scottish Fold/Ragdoll. She’s got the folded ears where her brother looks like their ragdoll mama 😻
Reposting my work from yesterday. I had my location visible, which I’m not comfortable with. Anyway, x17 25kg bags of Zierstein lugged to get my path along the side of the house almost finished 😮💨😅 It got sooo muddy, smthg had to be done! Next, shade-loving plants to go in the bed 🙂
I really need to get on with the chores … but how can I? 🥰
WTH is Flix doing? Their train costs more than the ICE for a similar departure time! Can only assume it must be the start of Schulferien in NRW that week?!! (This is the last Tuesday in June fyi). Thankfully the outward was only 6,50€ on the Saturday before 🙄 (& is quicker than this 7+ hr journey!)
The thing about living at the edge of the town with fields nearby is the random visitors from local nature! I’d noticed the tracks when I opened the curtains but assumed they were hares 😅 #LoveNature
Stolen from FB…. Always rely on the Liverpudlians to have an inventive idea! #PissOnTrump
I finally got around to buying a tea box… but the teas from Rossman don’t fit 🤦♀️🙄 … guess who didn’t get a Kassenbon either 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
New hiking boots for me day and new box for the cats #Caturday 😅
