I usually get our pumpkins from the roadside stand just outside town... But had very little time so headed to Rewe spent 2,07€ on these two Hokkaido red pumpkins (99c per kilo! Bargain!) and the girls carved them.

Where we stayed in Gdańsk in summer last year was right near the shipyard. My Dziadek had a Solidarność poster on his wall in Australia and because of that it was the first international political movement I was conscious of.

I went and bought a chain for it yesterday 🙂 I feel like it would look better on a leather braid but it's her 50th so a chain it is. She can change it if she likes.

My cousin, who is my closest relative in age, passed away today. She was declared cancer free in March but she was told on 4 September that it had metastasized. Six weeks later she's gone. Mum and my sister saw her yesterday and said that she was peaceful and was receiving good care.

Day 2 ✅ pretty happy with the finished product! 71,65€ for the materials, 99€ for the course fee, hours of frustration (I maintain that soldering is terrifying)... Resulting in a unique gift for my big sister 🙂

Day 1 of my silver jewellery making course ✅
Chose to work with a piece of jade - it will be a gift for my sister's upcoming 50th birthday.
Soldering is terrifying (but fun) and silver is, oddly enough, much harder to work with than my usual medium (yarn... Or fabric).

Went to the Vaterstetten Wollmarkt today. Very proud of myself for sticking to my plan of ONLY buying one skein of yarn (because I have SO MUCH YARN already). This is going to be a pair of lace socks

New German word of the day: Mahlzeitauslassversuch (meal + leave out + test). The process by which the clinic finds out if they have the basal settings correct on A's Omnipod 5. She can only eat raw veggies for five hours and has to take her blood sugar every hour during that time.

If it's poetry day then let's go! My German teacher shared "Mondnacht" during a lesson on Tuesday. It put me in mind of "Night Thoughts" by Li Bai.

I know this is completely frivolous but one of my colleagues has been looking for guinea pigs to practice nail art and today she did mine. It was lovely to sit and chat for an hour and come out with pretty patterns on my nails!!

Lingoda update! I'm switching between B2 (backfilling grammatical gaps) and C1 (expanding vocabulary). Feeling a lot more confident with both spoken and written German.

Browsing the Aussie shop the other day as we were almost out of our precious, precious Vegemite - they now make it gluten free! I got some for C, who hasn't had Vegemite toast in years.
