Me: “Aww… it’s cold. Can we turn on the radiators?”
Him: “What? It’s still September!”
Same script, every year. I know I’m nesh. But if your wife’s cold… maybe just care a little?😆

A friend invited me to go pick wild garlic for the first time. It had such a strong chive-like smell! I made a simple stir-fry with just one egg, as I wasn’t sure how it would taste, and it turned out absolutely delicious!😋友達に誘われて初めてワイルドガーリックを採りに行きました。ワイルドガーリックとは言うけど、これはニラ！帰って恐る恐るニラ卵を作ったら、とっても美味し〜い🙌

A patient said to me, “I’m not scholared,” when I was checking his vision. I didn’t understand what he meant at first, but my colleague quickly helped by using a small card with letters arranged differently from the vision chart. It turned out he meant he was illiterate.

This week, we baked matcha and cacao cookies. Thankfully, the M&M’s behaved this time—hidden inside instead of melting all over! 🍪🍵 今週は抹茶とココアのクッキーを焼きました。5歳にしてお抹茶の味を覚えてしまった娘…😋

Baked some buns for the first time in a while. Thought M&M’s would make cute eyes and noses… but they had other plans! Still delicious, though😋

Lately, I’ve come across interesting ways to use ‘spare’. It doesn’t seem to mean ‘substitute’ but ‘available.’
- Here are two spare lockers. You can use either of them.
- We were in a long queue for petrol, but it turned out there were two spare pumps at the back.

It’s freezing outside, so I made borscht for the first time in ages. Tried a new recipe, and wow—it turned out absolutely delicious! Somehow ended up with two full pans of it😅 but there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of borscht to keep us cosy for the next three days!

I hate driving on icy roads. I nearly bumped into the car in front of me this morning. I’ve just arrived at the parking lot, and I feel like throwing up😵💫

My daughter kept her Santa wish list a secret for so long, but she finally revealed it: cocktail sticks and play dough. How humble can you get?

The little Christmas tree we bought from Lidl 5 years ago is now over 2.5m tall. Who knew it would grow into such a giant?🎄

My 5yo can now sing The Twelve Days of Christmas perfectly! Last year, she could only manage ‘Fiiiive golden rings…’ What a difference a year makes!

Bought some persimmons, but they’re so sour! Heard keeping them with an apple can sweeten them in a week. Let’s see if it works!
