Really sad to see the state of the mausoleums on the Notre-Dame-des-Neige side (big contrast with the Cimetière Mont-Royal). The Feniou mausoleum has deteriorated so much in the last 5-6 years
2017: Front of the "E. Feniou mausoleum,1882", the mausoleum has some damages (one piece has fallen and is on the side)

I should probably introduce the cat. This is Onyx aka Kiki, a refuge cat I adopted when she was 6. She is very talkative, always slightly worried about the state of the workd. She loves sleeping on the many blankets my mother crochet for her and annihilating cardboard scratchers

Tentatively restocking my old etsy shop... No much to see for the moment, I'll slowly be adding more things on it

From Chef José Andrés (on the other place) :
Chef José Andrés : "Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now."

Skeleton Shrimp 💀
"You're a skeleton shrimp" picture of a skeleton shrimp: very wiry pink shrimp. "Make no bones about it: you’re a skeleton shrimp! Understated, cool, and smart — you’re a practical problem-solver and rather clever. While you may be on the quieter side, your calm, collected demeanor allows you to hone your skills and showcase your talents. But your brain is just one of your amazing tools — just look at how many hooks you’ve got on your appendages!"

I'm still pretty proud of that one. It required some delicate soldering (the quatrefoil in the middle can turn). I was literally cackling when I realised I could do it 👩‍🏭

Last call for the trilobite jewelry in my Etsy shop. I originally made them to amuse myself and friends encouraged me to make more for the shop... but since they do not sell, I guess I'll have to resign myself and melt them down or something
