My husband wonders how come the pepper shaker is always full while I fill it up every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks because in our household we eat the yearly pepper quota of a small country in two weeks.

I saw an ad for a smart bird feeder that sends a notification when a bird lands on it. If I wanted to prank my father in Sri Lanka I would send him one. He’s fed the birds in his garden for 30 odd years. If he’s late in the morning they line up on the clothesline and screech!

If someone on here would like to contribute to the relief efforts in my village Sri Lanka after the hurricane, I can put you in touch with the youth group at our church in Gonawala. That’s where my contributions go. The church hall houses families whose houses they can’t yet return to. The team

I went to the Turkish shop around the corner for some grocies and the butcher offered me coffee. I thought they had a pot of coffee going on and said yes. Nope, someone nipped out for the coffee. I think I have one more reason to bake a million Plätzchen this Christmas.

My little neff did something wonderful today. He told me something about his day that had nothing to do with things around us.

Remembering the Indian uncle at the cake counter of our favourite café in Frankfurt who when I ordered Black Forest said “no no, this cream cake has been sitting here two days in this heat, you’re having the mandarin cheese cake”. I had the mandarin cake.

The woman in front of us at Rewe wanted to buy a bunch of carrots with their tops on. The bunch cost like 1-2€, but the cashier rang up each carrot individually and they cost over 10€. Nothing says a woman does my cooking and grocery shopping like a man ringing up each carrot. The woman protested,

We have leftovers from last night’s dinner and my fiancé said “we can go half seasons”. I was like hmm, this must be Dutch. When I asked he said I say it. I don’t. What I do say is “go halfsies”. He’d thought it’s ’half seasons’ and he’s said it ever since. We’re going half seasons tonight.

I’m not really feeling Christian love with “you don’t know what you have unleashed”, “battle cry”, “we have the watch” and [cough] ‘Valhalla’.

My little neff is 2 years and 8 months old. Showing me his lion and elephant he says “they are friends”. I say “they are friends. They play… and they eat…” to which he usually says ‘together’ twice. Today he filled the blank after ‘eat’ with ‘food’. I’m like woohoo, transitive verb win…!!

I don’t know what Merz means by „mehr Eingenverantwortung“ in the context of health insurance and harder ‘social benefits’ reforms. It does though sound like the country is being governed by influencer alpha bros.

Question: I know Berlin requires cats to be indoors. What are the laws like in Brandenburg? Neighbors left on vacation, told the group chat cat is “fine” outdoors, and has someone giving food. I live in an area with Wildschwein, Fuchs and more, and the cat tried to follow in with us. I’m upset. 😢

My IG account is old, but the concept of posting is still new to me. I’m still getting used to videos of people sipping tea while the text reads “five things to lower crippling anxiety”. I’m like won’t you say the five things to lower crippling anxiety? No. They just filmed themselves sipping tea.

My Dutch fiancé needed a hug because just he learnt that an ounce is 28.35g whereas the Dutch ons is 100g. “I ate an ounce of cheese” has new meaning in our lives.

Berlin folk - I'm organising a trip for a group of Scottish folk (mainly pensioners) next year. Any tips on things they might not find in traditional guide books? Good restaurants, cafes, biergarten etc?
We've already got a tour with @jonnywhitlam.bsky.social on our list.

Our Sri Lankan home is full since my brother and I are both visiting our parents. I understand our family a bit better now watching people fight over lumpy old pillows and rough cotton bedlinen from Gehantex. Back and neck support and soft fabrics are not for the Algamas. Nor are bright lights.
