Today's binge watch is 'The Asset', a delicious Danish series.

Favourite line thus far, said by Tea to unwelcome male attention in a laundrette, "I just watched you wash your girlfriend's bra on the wrong cycle, I think you've caused enough damage."

Some useful advice* in these expensive times...

🤭😆😂

*Translation in alt-text
Some advice in German (translated): Given the rising costs of medical tests there's only one thing left for you to do: Stand under a tree, take a pee, and wait a little bit. If you see ants arriving, you have diabetes. If the grass dries out, there's too much salt in your body. If your pee smells like a BBQ, your cholesterol is raised. And if you forget to zip.up your flies, Alzheimer. If you laughed reading this, you're officially healthy! Do the test, but not in the city park.

Last week @eejit.bsky.social spotted tulips while he was out doing the grocery shopping, and decided to surprise me, as I've not been having the best of times lately.

They're my most favourite flower, above even roses, and I adore the way they continue growing, despite being cut.

🌷❤️🥰
A close-up shot of a yellowy-red open tulip, where you can see the tulip's stamens inside its petals. Also pictured are more tulips, in similar colours, but also a deep red colour, surrounded by the bright, light green of the stems and leaves of the tulips. The vase is standing on a butler table, which also has a stack of books stacked beside the vase, with a Tischkamin on the other side of the vase. Pictured is a cream vase filled with yellow-red and deep red tulips, and their bright green leaves and stems, standing besides a pile of books, and in the background there are other knick-knacks dotted around.

Eight months since Haggis came into our lives, and each month she creeps further and further into our hearts... 😻💕

She definitely enjoys being around people, and will follow you if you disappear from sight for too long. She also loves snoozing where it's warm (windowsill above a radiator, etc.).

This year's Hochheimer Haul!

All of those fabulous cheeses for 15€! 😋🧀🇩🇪❤️🇫🇷💛🇬🇷

Then two different spices - buntes Pfeffer and Gewürze für Fleisch- just a little something to give ooomph to a meat dish - 8.50€ for 200g.

And lastly, a pair of fingerless gloves I didn't know I needed, for a tenner!
Pictured is an assortment of German, French and Greek cheeses, alongside two small 100g packs of spices, and a mustard-coloured pair of fingerless gloves. The fingerless gloves match a scarf I was wearing today, which I'd worn to compliment a mustard-coloured fine-knit jumper. I'd forgotten to take gloves out of the cupboard before I left this morning, so they both complimented my clothing, and kept my hands warm as it got colder in the afternoon!

It's the annual pre-Christmas gathering of friends at Hochheimermarkt today... a bit of drinking, eating, and exploring what the market has to offer (usually the same as last year), and more drinking!

I'm starting slow with a nonalcoholic hot wine - can't be staggering around until much later! 😆😂

This book is breaking my heart...

I sincerely hope that all of the ghouls and monsters, regardless of their status in society, are brought to justice - this poor girl (because that's what she was when all this took place) deserve justice, as do ALL of Epstein and Maxwell's abused.

#VirginiaGiuffre
Pictured is the front cover of the book 'Nobody's Girl' written by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who was a sexual abuse victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as all the rich and powerful men she was trafficked to. The photo that forms the backdrop of the front cover is showing Virginia Giuffre, around the same age as she is in a photo that has her standing next to Prince Andrew, who has his arm around her waist, and Ghislaine Maxwell stands slightly behind them both. All three are smiling at the camera. 17 year old Virginia Giuffre is pictured standing next to Prince Andrew, who has his arm around her waist, and Ghislaine Maxwell stands slightly behind them both. All three are smiling at the camera, with Epstein apparently the photographer. It's been claimed by Prince Andrew that this photo, taken in 2001, is fake/doctored, as he claims he doesn't know remember it being taken, denies ever having met Virginia Giuffre, but still paid her a settlement of £12 million in February 2022.

Lady Haggis has found the best spot in the house...
Pictured is a sleeping cat, on a blanket-covered blue pouffe, stand right next to the lounge radiator. The cat is being protected by several teddy bears and Stuart the Minion.

It changes the more people get tested, and it helps them define your genetics even better. When I had my first test done in 2016, it came back saying I had >1% Polynesian DNA. 😂😂 This year's update is far more closer to what I know my family history to be. (I'm Norwegian with a Danish mother.)

Oh Pauline, you created a movement with your 'Shirley Valentine' role, along with the adorable Tom Conti.

You will be missed. 💔

November's "Beaver Moon", as seen from Südhessen in Germany...

I find the craters fascinating, and im intrigued by these three, all on a row, in the second photo.

#fullmoon #supermoon #BeaverMoon
Pictured is the full moon, known as the Beaver Moon, as it is linked to their hibernation habits, to avoid hunters. Pictured is the full moon, slightly enlarged, with an arrow pointing to three white dots which appear on the moon's surface, of the many craters that pockmark the surface of the moon.

Off for my biennial medical boob squish today, which is very appropriate, given October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Remember to check your boobs in between your mammograms, ladies, and guys, probably not a bad idea to check your pecs, too, because it can happen! 👍🏻🎀

This is the family history of a woman who thinks foreigners shouldn't be allowed in the UK. So, if it were up to her, she'd deny entry to her grandmother's family, as well as to any of her grandfather's family, should they have made it to Britain's shores?

How quickly we forget family history, eh?

Oh, same! 😂😂 I don't wear makeup in general, so it's an easy out for me (also just watched "Buy Now" on Netflix, so mindful not to buy just to see it sit on a shelf/in a drawer never being used!). 😆😂

I have a confession to make...

Back in the Noughties, I wasn't this woman's biggest fan, probably because I believed the crap that was being printed in the media every day. However, having since learned just how shitty the UK press can be and seeing other media talk about her, I've warmed to her...

So, the price for a Boeing 747-8 and a multi-billion desert golf course contract appears to be an airforce base in Idaho! Sounds like Qatar have scored a HUGE hole-in-one there! ⛳️

But I'm very curious - it's a long, L-O-N-G way from the UAE to USA, though - what on earth is that all about, eh? 🤔

It's the beautiful @frans199.bsky.social 's birthday today, and we're having her around for a slap up feast to celebrate. Sad that @shroommuse.bsky.social couldn't make it, but we will serve you up a feast the next time, Jacquie!

Happy birthday, Fran, especially from Haggis! 😻

Finally got around to this book, and while I'm not unaware of the ultimate goals of the Heritage Foundation, this book is a bit like reading a (non-fiction) horror story! 😳😳😳
