Some good news: in 2025 the ozone hole was about 30% smaller than the largest hole ever observed, which occurred in 2006, and had an average area of 10.27 million square miles (26.60 million square kilometers). #goodnews #happy

Today I baked Scottish Oaties. They are similar to oatmeal cookies my Mother used to make in Canada. One biscuit is missing because my husband ate it. #baking #biscuits

Yesterday I attended a Tea celebrating the end of WW2. Our local Amateur Dramatics society Tread the Boards put on a great performance. The decorations were amazing.
A hall decorated with Union Jack flags and war posters. Proper teacups and saucers; none matching which was exactly as it was then in 1945 ARP warden and an Airforce officer giving health and safety advice.

If you have cats put weights at the bottom of the Christmas tree before you decorate. Keeps the tree stable. Hide with a tree skirt #hack #christmas #cat

This is a small batch of croissants. Same technique as the other recipe but extra honey and salt. There were more than this but hubby and I had two for breakfast. #baking #food

Watching QI tonight and noticed a bit of fun 🤩 A sign on the back of the chair (THE BOSS) and glass (GIN)
QI set from the back view. Side to side of the studio is the size of the blue whale. In the back of Sandi Toksvig’s chair is a sign 🪧 with THE BOSS and beside her is a glass of clear liquid marked gin.

It’s Christmas cake time. Cleaning the fruit is important. I remove all stalks and grit. A labour of love. #Christmas #baking

I don’t like to ask but - how DO you get followers in this place? If it helps, here’s a pic I took of Mercury crossing the Sun!

🌿☕Morning🌞

Hverdagslykke is Norwegian for everyday happiness & contentment in daily life

Like a warm cup of ☕, taking a deep breath, a walk in nature, having family time

A cultural concept encouraging being present in life's routines rather than major events to be happy

Calm and early snow scene in Norway. Remember to take a breath 🤗🫂
