Birthday cake for my partner's birthday party tomorrow (no birthday wishes until Sunday when it's his actual birthday because Germans are superstitious like that but since the plan is to start the party late at night, I can bring it out at midnight)

I tried to challenge myself by adding some foreground elements into my landscape for the last painting during my trip.

Doing watercolour landscapes because @mashazart.bsky.social and @writeanewending.bsky.social peer pressured me into it. I haven't used watercolours since I was a teen...

From today's UkaTake fic
e students had always been a struggle for Keishin. He didn’t see why he should stop bleaching his hair (not that Karasuno High School had particular strict rules about that sort of thing anyway), swears flew off of his tongue way too easily (he’d picked that flaw up from his own father), and while he tried not to smoke in front of the students, he could not kick the habit entirely

M/M, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply Tags: Takeda Ittetsu/Ukai Keishin, Takeda Ittetsu, Ukai Keishin, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, First Meetings Summary: “Um, you are not supposed to smoke on the school grounds.” Keishin sighed and extinguished the cigarette on the concrete steps he was sitting on. “Sorry, I…” He trailed off as he looked up and saw a man around his age with large round glasses and curly dark hair looking down at him. If Keishin stood up, he would probably tower over him. He was cute. Definitely Keishin’s type. At least looks-wise. ~~~ AU in which Ukai is the coach of the volleyball club and has to look for a new club advisor.

We still have chillies from last year in our freezer so I made more hot sauce today. Since we also had fresh quince from the market, I also made quince+chilli jam
Photo of 6 glass jars of varying sizes filled with jam and labeled "Chilli-Quitten-Marmelade 18/10/25" Photo of 4 bottles and 5 small glass jars filled with orange hot sauce labelled "fiery habanero 18/10/25"

Writing again. Not making a lot of progress but it still feels good. Using my Karasuno mug because I'm working on the YamaKage band AU and it seemed fitting lol
