  Instagram has started showing me “stop drinking” ads. Not sure why. You’re 17 years too late, Instagram!

  Finally sat down to start my long overdue letter to penpal. 😶

  I’d been feeling unusually tense / stressed / down (okay, sick cat didn’t help), but I finally went on a “real” bike ride yesterday and was transformed! Felt much more resilient. Also interesting: I bought a new, spikier acupressure mat. It’s INTENSE. Too painful in the evenings. But last night, post bike ride? Fine!

  I caught a really nice close up of a (bumble?) bee yesterday. Look at the adorable fluffiness!! It was very patient as I tried to get the right angle to see its white bum. ❤️ #bees #InsectsOfMastodon

  iPhone reminded me that today is my Squish’s adoptaversary. 10 years, too!! She’s the best little girl I could wish for. 😻 She’s lying next to me like on the second photo right now, purring loudly. ❤️ #cats

  The fucking cat sitting on my nightstand to make me feed him, instead of going to the kitchen where THERE IS FOOD. 😡

  In my book (Suite Française, yes I read slowly 😅), the French are saying “at our house, we don’t live on German time”. Huh, I thought, European countries still had different time zones then. So I looked it up and it’s kinda fascinating. First to implement CET: The Kingdom of Serbia (1884). Luxembourg joined in 1904, but left again in 1918. 😅 (after the first German occupation) BUT THEN! A whole bunch of countries were switched to CET under German occupation in 1940, and never switched back!!...

  Woke up to vicious cat fighting. Ran outside to separate them. The yowling stopped when I got closer. I waited a bit, then went back inside… where Squish was waiting for me. She wasn’t involved at all! 😅 Phew.

  Just made an email template called "Platitudes" which starts "Hi all, Hope you are well." This after remembering half an hour after sending an email that I forgot this again. 😶 (It was otherwise very polite tho. But still. Social lubricant! I suck at it!)

  My student has found an app to practice for the Lux language test (for citizenship) using AI speech recognition and correction. Ot1h it’s kinda impressive that it works at all. OTOH it makes many mistakes and is therefore unsuitable for Lux learners.

  Been feeling pretty queasy all morning. Then saw I forgot to take my happy pill yesterday! But now it'll be another 2hrs until the new one kicks in, and withdrawal is getting worse. Bleh.

  Gym is busy so while I wait, I'm watching exercise videos. Leg raises, you're doing it wrong. Just tried lifting my legs above 90° - woah! I have some work to do! 😅 [edit not to mention even raising my ass. Not a chaaance. Sigh] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr1ieGZ5atk

  Tons of planespotters at the airport so I thought I’d have a look in case there was sth special going on. 😄 I think it’s just a standard Sunday, but have some planes, anyway. #planespotting

  Was thinking I could collect some misspelled Luxembourgish comments for my students to analyse. Found the first correctly spelled RTL comment in months. 😂 https://www.rtl.lu/news/national/dei-heich-logements-kaschten-hunn-zu-engem-broch-an-eiser-gesellschaft-gefouert-847588472

  My electric toothbrush is broken. It randomly turns on and off. I’ve put it outside so it’s less annoying, but I can still hear it. May have to put it in the basement. And buy a new toothbrush! (Tbf it’s very old. Probably 15 years or so.)

  I am PROUD, I have paid my taxes! Like the grown ass woman of 48 years I am.

  WHINE! I agreed to do a translation of some legal texts (in French, for that is our official language of law and all legal texts are in French) into Lux, for a fellow translator who's doing a PhD on the matter. It is difficult and unfun! Luckily I'm allowed to consult my mother (a retired judge). Without her there's no chance I could do this. I don't even understand the French. 😂

  AW. My grandmother had that Acapulco set and my mum still has some pieces of that "naïf" set on the third photo down. (Technically it's mine, actually. 😅) Now I can't wait for the silver cutlery nostalgia so I can offload all the shit my grandmother bought me over YEARS for when I'd grow up and invite people over for fancy dinner, hahahaha. 😐 https://www.tageblatt.lu/Luxemburg/Warum-VilleroyBochGeschirr-auf-dem-VideGrenier-boomt-64236.html

  Niederanven (where I live) have painted a rainbow on a piece of cycle path and their Facebook post has attracted lots of homophobic and generally shitty comments. 🤮 Surprisingly, the (CSV, i.e. Christian party) mayor has spoken out against the hate. 👍 RTL, wisely (for once) have not enabled comments on their article. LOL https://www.rtl.lu/news/national/reebou-wee-gett-zil-vun-haass-a-vandalismus-1970984432 Bonus photo of my bike on the rainbow before it was vandalized. 🏳️‍🌈

  @libreoffice @simonjay Congrats, even if it’s late. The Fediverse is the obvious choice for FOSS.
