Consumerism is crazy… you’re incentivized to make money so you can afford <things> then you have too many <things> and now you need to upgrade to a bigger place to fit all the <things>, and then your place is “too big” to find all the <things> you were so excited to accumulate 🫠

Is this that threshold some people hit where they’re like f’ it imma just gonna live out of a suitcase from here on out

Als het toegestaan zou worden dat een openlijke antisemiet als Annabel Nanninga in de ministersploeg opgenomen wordt, kun je spreken van een moreel failliet van het “redelijke midden”. En arm Nederland als de pleuris uitbreekt in de confrontatie met Rusland en de USA, met dit soort “leiders”.



Good morning lovely people.

Sunday has arrived in wet and windy fashion here in my little corner of Fife. The final part of the Christmas Stamps SAL has also arrived, obviously I have not finished the last part yet, so today is going to be a mammoth stitching session, just as soon as the pain meds kick in.

Todays photo is one from yesterday, the Nutcracker Christmas Shop in St Andrews, it is there all year round. Believe it or not, I have never been in it. It was a lovely sight though on a wet afternoon wandering around St Andrews.

I do believe its time for more coffee.

Have a fabulous day everyone.

Ein Nahaufnahmebild zeigt eine Modelllandschaft mit einer Eisenbahn, die in einem Wohnzimmer auf einem Teppich steht. Eine rote Dampflokomotive mit dem Text "Polar Express" zieht eine Reihe von roten Waggons um einen Kreis aus kleinen Häusern und Gebäuden. Die Häuser sind beleuchtet und haben grüne Tannengewächse davor. Ein großer beleuchteter Weihnachtsbaum steht im Hintergrund. Unter dem Baum und um die Eisenbahnanlage sind mehrere Geschenke verstreut.

Watched just a few brief moments, almost seemed scripted, the one question I saw designed to elicit drama and tears.
