Birthday cake for my partner's birthday party tomorrow (no birthday wishes until Sunday when it's his actual birthday because Germans are superstitious like that but since the plan is to start the party late at night, I can bring it out at midnight)

I tried to challenge myself by adding some foreground elements into my landscape for the last painting during my trip.

Doing watercolour landscapes because @mashazart.bsky.social and @writeanewending.bsky.social peer pressured me into it. I haven't used watercolours since I was a teen...

From today's UkaTake fic
e students had always been a struggle for Keishin. He didn’t see why he should stop bleaching his hair (not that Karasuno High School had particular strict rules about that sort of thing anyway), swears flew off of his tongue way too easily (he’d picked that flaw up from his own father), and while he tried not to smoke in front of the students, he could not kick the habit entirely

M/M, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply Tags: Takeda Ittetsu/Ukai Keishin, Takeda Ittetsu, Ukai Keishin, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, First Meetings Summary: “Um, you are not supposed to smoke on the school grounds.” Keishin sighed and extinguished the cigarette on the concrete steps he was sitting on. “Sorry, I…” He trailed off as he looked up and saw a man around his age with large round glasses and curly dark hair looking down at him. If Keishin stood up, he would probably tower over him. He was cute. Definitely Keishin’s type. At least looks-wise. ~~~ AU in which Ukai is the coach of the volleyball club and has to look for a new club advisor.

We still have chillies from last year in our freezer so I made more hot sauce today. Since we also had fresh quince from the market, I also made quince+chilli jam
Photo of 6 glass jars of varying sizes filled with jam and labeled "Chilli-Quitten-Marmelade 18/10/25" Photo of 4 bottles and 5 small glass jars filled with orange hot sauce labelled "fiery habanero 18/10/25"

Writing again. Not making a lot of progress but it still feels good. Using my Karasuno mug because I'm working on the YamaKage band AU and it seemed fitting lol

I think I may have finally figured out what to do with the YamaKage and TuskiHina Band AU. We'll see if this snippet will stand the test of time, but I am writing something again!
“Those guys are way out of my league,” Tadashi had confided in Tsukki on the bus back home after one of their rehearsals. “You’re the one who dragged me to join this club,” Tsukki had said, looking down at his fingers as he picked a bit of dirt from under his nail. “If you quit the club, so will I.” “Daichi-senpai would kill us.” “And so would Kageyama and Hinata,” Tsukki had added. “They are freaking idiots who bicker all the time, but they’ve never complained about your bass or my drums. And if they ever do, they can suck my–” “Tsukki there are kids on this bus!”

Guess who is making hot sauce again 🌶️
This time I had some Mirabellen (aka tiny yellow plums) from my future mother in law's garden, so I made a sweet and sour habanero sauce

When a friend from a small town visits, and asks you where he can buy anime figurines so you actually go to the independent anime/manga shop for the first time and you raise they have a fantastic BL section... I'm sorry book shop in my neighborhood, but the manga obsession will be fed elsewhere now
