How do you manage screen time for yourself? Terribly. I spend at least 8-9 hours of the work day stating at The Bad Screen (my work computer). This one is completely unavoidable, and I absolutely cannot stop this, no matter how much I may want to some days! I will then spend most of the … Continue reading Sunday Musings

Floof Friday
I am slowly working on my garden space, and as it is winter I have finally put in place a proper bird feeder. And I finally caught a guest! This little robin stopped by for a little bite to eat, and for a little drink from the bird bath. I did not expect to feel … Continue reading Floof Friday
My time on a cruise boat
Apologies for the slight change in my posting schedule - I was on a boat! Well, a cruise ship to be exact and I doubt that it could really be called a boat. It had 18 floors! This holiday was so needed and I was cut off entirely from any sort of internet connection when … Continue reading My time on a cruise boat

I think if the opportunity ever presented itself, I would very much consider going to the bottom … Continue reading Sunday Musings

My new area has so many new neighbours! We seem to have multiple groups of these birds, and I learnt that these are house sparrows. They are very chatty! I love waking up in the morning to hearing them chirping away in the surrounding bushes and trees. Males tend to have a grey cap, chestnut … Continue reading Floof Friday
UPDATE – Is the European Union planning to ban widely-used ‘meaty names’ for plant-based food?
Further to my original post, The European Parliament has indeed voted to ban the use of traditional meat names - including ‘steak’ and ‘burger’ - to describe plant-based alternatives. Members of the conservative EPP (European People’s Party) group supported the move, arguing that using meat and dairy terminology for vegan-friendly counterparts is “misleading for the … Continue reading UPDATE – Is the European Union planning to ban widely-used ‘meaty names’ for plant-based food?
