Currently stitching something up & phoned my seamstress-trained mum for some advice. “Which stitch are you using? <lists off a load of types>” “Ummm… the… loopies? The… the one with the loopies.” “Oh… errr… yes, the… ‘loopies’… will work.” I think I saw her soul leave her body in disappointment 😅

Despite train cancellations & Nick’s inability to tell the difference between February & March, this first meet-up with both @ikisnick.bsky.social & @tijgerstreep.bsky.social (they are different people!) at the same time was a success! Lovely to catch up & revel in England’s rugby triumph with them!

Als je het niet weet, dan houd je je mond. Maar in spannende tijden als minister nonsens verkopen als waarheid, zelfs als je het na bijles weer terugneemt, dat is onverantwoord gedrag.

France’s Le Point reports that Trump’s expected to attend Moscow’s 80th celebration of VE Day, which, if Kellogg’s plan comes to fruition, would play right into Putin’s hands: “80 years ago we defeated Nazis, this year we defeated Nazis”. A shameful capitulation & symbol of a new geopolitical order.

Do you remember the past four years when you didn’t have to worry about what new thing the American president would do or say to screw over his own people and his allies? Yeah, that was nice. I miss those days.

Everyone stop scrolling, and tell George how good he looks in his new hoodie or one year of bad luck (Not really, but he would appreciate the compliments)

Today marks nine years since I moved to the Netherlands, so I decided to treat myself to some flowers: a tulip for every year and a rose to represent my roots

Have you really been to Utrecht if you haven’t taken a selfie with a canal?

Happy Candlemas, the final day of the Christmas-Epiphany season. May you see & remember the light in the darkness. “…My eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” — Luke 2:30-32

Apparently, spending the afternoon trimming back and then pulling up a tree is a good workout… who knew?

On the long journey to the airport. Saw that the weather is pretty awful in the UK so it’ll likely be a horrific flight (great for a nervous flyer). I’d be grateful is you could all help keep my mind off my calamitous journey with messages/questions: ngl.link/engelsmaninnl1
