Web dev & designer, of an age, drinking coffee, cuddling chihuahua and cat, into stories - books - films - tv - games -, Europe, kinda creative but sometimes lazy, not into bucket lists, no time for a new hobby (but always wanting to try something new).
Pinned
Intro post: I can be pretty random. Also mostly friendly - even if I sometimes have a darker sense if humour. Oh, and I prefer UK spelling. You'll find me showing off my cat and chihuahua, talk about games, Star Trek, language and making websites. And I love conversation. ☕
No DM. Interact first.
Gotta go lay out my outfit for tomorrow. I'm so my mother with that. Mostly because I can't put together a good outfit in the morning.
Looking forward to the non-office days.

Okay. So Saturday is usually pizza with Star Trek Lower Decks on disc, because it's not showing in NL.
But we'll try to watch Star Trek SFA on YouTube.

Whatever happens, pizza and Star Trek night is upon us.

Let's not dwell too much on how stupid the world is right now.

But let's take some responsibility and at least be aware of the control we do have.

Ultimately how you treat people. The choices you make. The permission you give yourself to also relax and have fun, to recharge. That's it.

#Coffee time again. First coffee morning in the new year. Look! Free mini slice of cake! I love Coffee in the Netherlands. Listening to 1980s French pop music. Good company. Mixed patrons.
No laptops.

Another #knitting update. I want to create her face and hair, and knit her tiny shoes. But I also want to play whiskerwood and just not hold knitting needles. And I want to knit, while playing.
Why do I not have four hands.

I need to rest from knitting.

#knitting update. Still learning as a #newbknit. See tag for my bumpy progress.

So. #startrek. I'm figuring out how to knit the top of the uniform. Getting there. I'll probably need a second try to get it perfect.

#knitting update! Had a bluesky break. Knitted a panda.
The requested panda. I adapted the bunny pattern from Let's Knit Together. It's my favourite pattern now.

I just think. If you're still looking forward to the world cup and not worried about your national football team going to play in it...

There's something wrong with you.
There really is.
Why arent we boycotting?

#knitting update: panda bear. I offered to make another bunny and got a 'but a panda...'
So I'm adapting. I just need to use black and white ad panda ears instead of bunny ears.

I used to buy my bags based on size, so I would always have space for a book. I now have tiny bags, because i only bring my phone.
I am ridiculous. And i will read more.
I need to start bringing a book with me again when I'm out and about so I'm not on here shit posting all day.

My book this month: Fawlty Towers by John Cleese. Sure, it's got a lot of pictures and stuff. But I enjoy how Cleese is writing about his younger years. And Fawlty Towers is awesome, still.

Finally using the lists options to keep an eye on my favourite accounts. Neither the discover or follow feed suits me. Posts drop off. So I am curating my own feeds better now.

It's not even a snowstorm with minus temperatures outside, but i am not looking forward to sliding around on icy streets with the dog.
Wish me luck. I've just recovered from my sprained wrists and bruised chin. I'd like to stay that way just a little longer.

It's my last day off (also my first day of work, conplicated) and I have just bought a new game. Whiskerwood. Recommended. Steer little worker mice on a remote island, helping them survive and thrive. Pay tribute to their cat overlords. Survival sim building game. I love it!

We're so Dutch, we will 'gourmet ' tonight. Placing small pieces for meat and veg on the table grill and in the little pans underneath. With peanut sauce everywhere. And bread. In our case flatbread because that's us.

Chihuahua pic. So I've had a little eye issue, sprained both wrists by falling flat on my face, made a job change with some regrets, had a broken heart that was mended and I didn't read as many books as I wanted.
But I'm in a good place. Despite or because of those things. 2025 was just another step

Evening #coffee, decaf, with a Dutch oliebol. Oliebollen are eaten on new year's even, but I'm just testing this one. It's okay.
But tomorrow we get up way before dawn, to get fresh oliebollen at 7am.
No. I'm not frying them myself.

Let nothing extinguish your joy. Joy is hard to find, so once you have it, and it hurts no one, hold on to it. It's your power.
If it's knitting or reading or dancing or drawing. Or caring or singing or walking in nature. Bike riding, baking, solving puzzles, even cleaning! Whatever!
