🇬🇧in 🇳🇱 Tea, music, Dutch stuff, UK/EU politics, crochet, and parenting. Currently battling a cheese addiction.
Putting whatever else is wrong with Depp to one side, mid summer feels like an odd time to release this. Everything Scrooge is winter, no?
This was acquired today. I could eat it with a spoon out of the jar. If you see it, buy it!
I got this yesterday and it’s great. Cat has no chance though, Welsh makes Dutch feel easier to pronounce
At a steam rally. In other news, I’ve worked out why world is on fire. Coal is fucking horrible stuff.
Cat sitter just sent me these photos and now I want to get the ferry home early to go cuddle this good boy 🐾
My cat keeps catching mosquitos like a feline Mr Miyagi and I could not love him more than I do now. Spiders, flies, mossies, lad has them down and eaten in seconds. Photo from earlier as he’s too busy now
Like it’s not hot enough, the cat found this fella and decided to bring him home for me. Alas I have enough Jackdaws so we let him go. Thankfully flew off to his noisy fam.
I cannot be expected to work under these conditions. I can barely reach the keyboard
I love Hockney's series on East Yorkshire. I lived there for a decade and it's beautiful. This picture of Garrowby is exactly how it feels to drive down it if you don't have complete control of your brakes. Rest in peace and thank you.
Warms my cold dead heart to see X/Twitter is less popular than Pinterest. Pinterest is absolute shite these days so to be less relevant than that is lovely to see
Bought myself a coffee plant. At 1m above sea level, expectations are low but endless optimism is high!
Local cafe is looking to start a fifth Anglo Dutch war by charging €23 for this absolute horror
Hoping the child needs money as this all needs to go back and I can’t be arsed to take it for the while €10 I’ll get for it
I spent ages the other night trying to master Tunisian knit stitch and it looked awful. Today I decided to retry Simple stitch, misread the instructions and lo, bloody perfect knit stitch. Ffs but also, hooray! 🧶
One of the things I love about crochet is trusting the process. 5 mins ago this looked like something dropped by a trawler and then suddenly, whoosh it was a thing. In other news I’m never making anything with yarn this thin again without new glasses and stadium quality lighting. 🧶
My biggest achievement today is eating a whole Lidl family sized tiramisu to myself. Aim high with your personal goals and like me, you’ll get there.
