#introduction #intro
Well, I notice that my profile comments do not actually tell you anything about me, other than confusing virgins and dragons…

I am an ex-tweep who does not sneak back any more. A shit show is a shit show and will never have the fragrance of a rose.

The next step in the life of a nudi after the creation moment is that of eggs. Welcome to my second day (yah, yah...day late, dollar short) of #Nudivember #MarineLife

An egg cluster of most likely a Hexabranchus sanguineus, commonly known as the Spanish Dancer

Red colored egg cluster of a Spanish Dancer nudibranch. There appear to be only a few wavy sheets but on closer inspection, you will see there are thousands of eggs making up this cluster

I used to save the best Garfield comics from the Sunday paper and would wrap everyones gifts in a colorful melange of the only cat I ever loved (sorry but I am allergic to the real thing)

Except for that of my brother. He got Beetle Bailey or Andy Capp

A movie you've seen more than 7 times with a gif

Wait! Wasn't that why we got that extra hour?

#MarineLife

I missed day one because I was distracted by...errr...just everything.

I will try to do better.

Fitting for the beginning of #Nudivember, I bring you the beginning... (I think I posted this one last year but I have none any closer that is not already posted at some point. Sorry)

Two nudibranchs either just separating from mating or just about to mate. They are a vibrant blue base color with bright lengthwise yellow stripes

This morning, I drove 1.5 hours to an animal shelter in Alcabideche, collected two dogs and delivered them to the shelter I volunteer for in Sesimbra. I was back later this afternoon and one of them, a young puppy, was being adopted. This is why I volunteer with an animal shelter. #Adopt,Don'tShop

It might be worth looking into before moving anything heavy again. BTW, I like the look of the apartment, what is visible...

John Sexton @dutchfromtexas.bsky.social · 2d

What a shame. Any idea what ails it? It might be an easy fix but then again...🤷

My Halloween costume is the same and it does seem to earn me lots of candy...

John Sexton @dutchfromtexas.bsky.social · 2d

They are all the same

Dare we ask for her recipe? It looks delish

Is that not a disabled lift on the right side of the stairs? It goes right to the open door and does not continue up to the next floor so I am guessing a previous owner had it installed.

Either that or vaccine cards and blood test results from after a three month wait, just like my puppy had to have to travel

It may not be soon enough but it is going to need to happen

Why do you want to traumatise them?

So, yesterday at 17h00, I checked how much rain had fallen during the afternoon. 31 mm! This morning I checked again, another 19 mm. And the rest of the week is supposed to be wet as well. I will not be watering my garden any time soon, I guess...

I am wishing us luck. I turned in my ballot at the embassy recently when I went to pick up my renewed passport. Here's hoping enough people wake up and vote sensibly.

In any case, I have a bottle of wine waiting to either celebrate a bit or to drown my worries. Or to add to coq au vin.🤔
