Plant people, I need your help! Can someone please identify this plant for me? A search only led to images like this one but it went through to AI slop that was no help 😖

I was given one, but tesco give no care instructions and I don’t know if it’s dying off for good or will reflower next year 🪴

Turns out there are no movies which take place where I was born. This one should have included it, but was so factually wrong it probably didn’t 😬

Any German speakers out there who can tell me why this is Herrn and not Herr? (This was the first time Duolingo had mentioned ‘Herrn’ and I’ve completed their full German course already!)

Irish hiking hats nos 4&5 now complete, and the family will all have cosy bonces this winter 😊 🧶

And just found the 2009 bill - now paying £29.38 for unlimited data, 75 mins and 125 texts. How did I afford this?!

So back in 2008 I was apparently shelling out £45 a month for 0GB data, 1200mins and 500 messages (and I only used 82mins and 46 messages that month)
😳 📱

[For reference, I currently pay £6/mth for unlimited mins & texts, and 12GB data]

We’ve been finding some odd things during this decluttering! Not sure where this came from 🤷🏻‍♀️

We saw this car the other day and these little leaves were so prettily and artfully placed that both my daughter and I initially thought it was a decal 🍁 😍

I still have the old Apple pockets 🤭 (granted, it wouldn’t fit a phone but still handy for car key fobs etc)

Uhh… is it just me, or does this slogan mean exactly the opposite of what they (presumably) meant? 🤨 [they just announced their big annual sale is coming up]

Two hats made, wool ordered for another three - me, the kids and my dad are all getting one! 😄 I used Drops Air, which is baby alpaca and merino and is just the softest, cosiest yarn I’ve ever used 🧶

Ah. No the treacle wasn’t an ingredient, it was added afterwards - generously. These are drop scones (this is from my mum’s ‘70s Be-ro recipe book), sometimes a wee bit bigger than this

Unless this is a typo by the BBC, “We’re convicted” makes me think the Amazon VP actually got AI to write the press release 🤔

Maybe AI has already taken over there…?

Wow - my first 5 since January! I’ve not felt quite as healthy as that suggests, but I’ll take it as a good thing. It’s so strange to see my HRV higher than my RHR #VisibleApp #MECFS #PwME

(and yes, I’m not long awake. The good sleep - a total of almost 9 hrs - may be part of the good score 😉)

Ooh, exciting - the wrist strap for the #VisibleApp sensor is now available here 🎉 Hopefully I’ll be able to get that soon. I can’t wait to move away from the 2.0 armband (so uncomfortable!)

Trying to work out what on earth this odd (brief) scoop out of my HR was yesterday 🤔

I’ve just to weave in my ends on this Tunisian mosaic crochet scarf. Really pleased with how this turned out 😊 🧶

We spotted this little guy when out for a night time walk 🦎

We’ve reached that time of year when I just feel like eating constantly. I think my body wants to prepare for hibernation

It’s misty out. (Photo taken by my youngest just now)

#WIP I’m loving this Tunisian crochet mosaic scarf (even though each row is taking me at least an hour because I have 314 stitches!). 🧶

Choosing yarn online can be so difficult! 😩 These are supposedly the same yarn and colour - surely there wouldn’t even be this much difference between dye lots?? 🧶

Just spotted this sign whilst out for a wee jaunt
