Seems almost odd to go through my old DVD collection as I’m decluttering. The large majority of it is on streaming services, it’s just taking up space and has no resale value. I don’t know if charity shops will be grateful or not. How times change.
Got some samples for my increasingly disappointing Nespresso machine. Can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that caramel espresso tastes as terrible as it sounds. Doesn’t taste like espresso, doesn’t taste like caramel. Makes my face contort like I’ve stubbed a toe. Can’t wait to try the other flavoured pods!
Fairly sure I didn’t ever have a mojito when I was drinking, but this is a gorgeous tasting alcohol-free tipple.
Just decluttered my dongle drawer. 💻😐
Ordered myself a new meditation cushion set. I plan on turning my back room, with writing nook, into a more peaceful space. Was planning on getting a massive telly there, but I think the last thing most houses need is another television. 🧘🏻
Every now and again my anxious, trauma infused lurcher will have a little wobble and sit in the garden, refusing to come in. He did this often when we first adopted him and it generally ended up with him running away and hiding for a while. Anyway, he sat, he rummaged and came back this morning. 🐕
Going to make a vegetarian chilli this evening. Haven’t made one of those for ages. 🌶️🌯
Stopped feeling sorry for myself and got up at 6am to take the dogs up the local trail. Saw some hares, my arms are an inch or two longer after Leela and Shane’s futile attempts to ignore their predatory nature and strain the leash trying to persue said cute little leporids. 🐕🏃🏻
I wish I’d stop beating myself up for ‘wasted days’. Genuinely not looking for any ‘U OK hun?’ responses, just a little reminder from myself to myself to be a bit kinder.
I think I’m going to knock Mastodon on the head, seeing as it’s so easy to keep track from Micro.blog and, in fact, I follow mostly the same accounts on both.
Finished reading: The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett 📚🦧
I love Apple’s Focus modes, but wish they were a bit more intuitive. 💻😐
Is anyone looking for a Bluesky invite code?
Replacement straw fedora has just arrived.
I dug my Nespresso machine out of storage and bought some pods from the local supermarket. The coffee is abysmal, so I’m trying an online place with a little more choice. If that’s a disaster, I’ll go back to the French press. I have an espresso machine in storage, but no room for the set-up. ☕️
Well I did my first yoga practice for around a year. Plenty of inadvertent grunting, farting and sweating - so like any other day since I last did a downward facing dog. 🧘🏻
Going to do some yoga later this morning, the first time in around a year.
Tidying up is the worst. I refuse to do any more, ever.
Cross-Posting Blues.
Cross-posting is becoming increasingly tricky to maintain. I follow some on Micro.blog and Mastodon , then factor in BlueSky and it seems to become overly confusing (for me) where to reply sometimes. I love M.b, the Mastodon instance I’m on is a great place and in the space of a week BlueSky has gone from somewhere I wasn’t keen on to an interesting and pleasant social media experience.
