Perfect day for a lunch outside.
I like a good sourdough fairly plain: good quality olive oil with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
Black plate on a wooden picknick table with a half-finished slice of sourdough bread. In the background a fuchsia colored yeti coffeecup and further behind green shrubs. In the left corner you see a part of a woman’s foot in green socks and shearling birckenstock.

Good vibes, garden dirt, and free labor from the parents
Woman lying on a garden chair. She has blond hair and pink sunglasses and is smiling showing her coffee stained teeth. She wears a blue and green fleece vest and grey joggers. In the background you see a plowed field and some trees Woman and man stand on stacked bricks. Both are smiling. The woman is holding an electronic garden tool and is leaning against an oak tree. She’s wearing a blue and green fleece and grey joggers with a pair of wellies. The man is wearing crocs, jeans, a blue flower blouse and a navy jacket. In the background you see a variety of needle and oak trees.

Koffietje, zonnetje, tijdschriftje. Matchende fuchsiatinten voor m’n kopje én cover?
Pure esthetische voldoening.
Meer heb ik ff niet nodig!
Morning ☀️
Een tijdschrift genaamd “One World”. Het heeft een lichtroze achtergrond met fuchsia titel. Op de achtergrond zie je tevens een fuchsia koffie kopje van Yeti die vastgehouden wordt door de persoon die de foto maakt en tevens is er gras en bomen op de achtergrond

Breaking: Walked the dogs in so-called terrifying, wolf-infested war zone of Drenthe. No wolves spotted. Zero casualties. Leashes used. No panic attacks. No trauma to report. Democracy intact.
Two dogs, one dark brown almost black and the other caramel colored, walking in Dwingelderveld. In the background tou can de a combination of deciduous trees and pine trees. The floor is covered with leaves

Woke up like having been hit by a truck but these little ones cannot walk themselves 💩
A shot of a trail in the forest. Mostly brown leaves and needles covering the floor. Oak trees lining the trail. A holly shrub in the right corner and two dogs leashed sniffing the ground. One black dog with a blue harness named Osha and a caramel colored dog with a black harness named Jari.

#LongCovidAwarenessDay2025 #LongCovid = is losing my health, independence, and future. It’s a forever flu, brain damage, and planning life around minutes of energy. It’s watching my world shrink while too many suffer, unseen and forgotten by society.

Long COVID is life- and soul-destroying.

We need research, action, and accountability. Until then, protect yourself & others:

💠 Test when sick.
💠 Stay home if you can.
💠 Mask up.

The pandemic isn’t over just because people stopped talking about it.

#LongCovidAwarenessDay2025 & I’m mad. Mad I have this. Mad we even need a day like this. Mad it took 4 years to get the care I need. I almost didn’t post—but silence made me mad. So here I am, mad & posting from my couch instead of attending a march, because this illness has taken so much from me.
