It's 'Outdoor Café Seating Built into Parking Bays' season in Munich. Good times.
A white cup (filled with coffee) and saucer sit on a table. Next to it is a small glass of water, and behind them both is a small green plant with red flowers. On the opposite side of the table are two empty chairs.

It's Lindt bunny season.
Two stands of Lindt chocolate bunnies. They are wrapped in gold foil and have red collars. There are seven rows of bunnies, approximately fifteen bunnies wide.

It's a day ending in Y, so Duolingo is out here, once again, shit-stirring for the fun of it.
A screenshot of a mobile notification from Duolingo. Timed at 11:21, it says "Anna passed you in total XP! Are you going to do something about it?" Duolingo can, as far as I'm concerned, get fucked. 👍

Heading back home next week, so thought I'd better put my collection of UK cash in my wallet. Not sure how far £1.99 is going to get me these days - maybe a Mars bar? 🫠
A collection of coins - some silver, some copper - sits on a blue surface. There is one pound coin, a 50p piece, two 20p pieces, one 5p, and two 2p pieces.

Out in the woods this morning.
A portrait photo of a pathway through a wooded area, with evergreen trees on either side. One tree on the left still has some golden brown leaves attached. The ground has a covering of well-trampled snow, and the sun is shining down through onto the path in the distance.

Yo #WoTSkies!

Firstly, if you want to watch season 2 of SAS Rogue Heroes without any foreknowledge, please look away now. Super-light spoilers incoming.

If you like to track the WoT cast in other projects, and have access to BBC iPlayer, you can catch a cameo from Dónal Finn in the final episode.
A white man, with brown hair and a small beard / moustache, sits in a wooden boat. He is looking up at someone off camera, with a furrowed brow. A white man with brown hair, parted and gelled at the side, sits in front of a blurry landscape. He is wearing desert soldier khakis, and has a wistful look on his face. A white man with brown hair and a slight beard / moustache, in close-up. His head is turned to his left, and we can only see the right side of his face. There is a low golden light, lighting up his face.

Phone sent me another 'Best Moments' notification this morning and, seemingly, won't stop until I admit that being ignored by a cat was the highlight of my year. What initially seemed savage is now making me wonder if it just wants me to, rightly, recognise that cats are the greatest of us all.
A phone notification (Gallery Stories, 11:18: Best Moments of 2024), showing a tabby cat, facing away from the camera, sitting on a black and grey chair.

My phone is absolutely savage. I just got an alert for my 'Best Moments of 2024', and it led with this picture of a cat ignoring me at the local cat café. If that's one of my 'Best Moments', what is it trying to tell me??
A very stripey tabby cat, lays on a grey and black chair. The cat is very purposefully facing away from the person taking the picture, and you can only see the back of its head.

Got me an (Irish) Christmas pudding from the English language bookshop! I am unnaturally excited about this. Tell me, @nyniamhsedai.bsky.social - are Irish puddings pretty much the same as British ones???
A Luxury Irish Christmas pudding from a company called Mileeven, sits on a white bookshelf. The pudding weighs 454g / 1lb, and expires on 12 April 2026. The pudding is wrapped in gold foil and red cardboard.

Like many others - I'm sure - I'm pretty stunned this morning, and don't really have words. So, with that in mind, here's Batman Bear (just spotted in the Steif shop window).
A grey and black steif teddy bear, dressed in the distinctive grey and black costume of TV show Batman: black gloves, black boots, black cape. He is standing in the window of a shop, in a glass case, and stands around 30cm high. He can be purchased for €349.

I really need to change my habits and stop automatically posting to the other place. In that vein, here are some baked beans I found in a German supermarket; I look forward to comparing them to Heinz in the near future.
A white left hand holds a can of baked beans. They are branded Edeka, have an A nutri-score, and weigh 400g.

Another Todd Schumacher t-shirt to add to my collection, if you can call two t-shirts 'a collection'. And yes, I will be giving it a good press before I wear it anywhere.
A close-up of a black t-shirt is desperate need of an ironing. On the front is an artistic image of Rand al'Thor, with his curly red hair, brown clothes, and greyish cloak, standing on the side of a cliff. His mouth is open like he's screaming, and to the left of him and behind is an ominous blue-grey sky with lightning streaking down.

I made my first ever Wheel of Time meme and it's in honour of "cult favourite" Kit Rocha.
A motivational poster with a black background. The majority of the poster is taken up with an image of two rhinoceroses and a tree silhouetted against a sunset. Underneath, in capital letters, reads "Rhinocerous", and underneath that, in smaller letters, reads "Duty is heavier than a rhinoceros; death is lighter than a rhinoceros."
