I don’t know where we are on 3yos and humour. My neff laughs and says there’s a shark in my bowl of oats. He says “come here crocodile, come here!” and my husband and I have to go “argh, there’s a crocodile!” with our hands by our ears. I’m impressed with this make believe. This is humour, right?

As a Sri Lankan I want to make something to give away to our neighbours, our pharmacist, the post office, etc at Christmas. As a German I bake Plätzchen.

I wish I could share these with my parents in Sri Lanka.

We need to be fucking angry:

A “delegation” of AfD members was in the US cozying up to MAGA party members last week in a revolting Nazi fest. Guess what?! It was paid for with our tax dollars. 🤮

The disinformation being propagated on socials is alarming af.

I want to be at home in Sri Lanka to go around collecting twigs, උණ බට, වේලිච්ච කොල and what have we to make this. I can also hear amma’s voice in my ear saying I‘m inviting spiders, scorpions and කනෙයියෝ with it. She will be right.

I often think about pol mudu (the pointy bit of coir at the top of a coconut once it’s husked) in place of sponges in our Sri Lankan kitchen. I’d really rather use something biodegradable than sponges. They need to be replaced so often!

My husband wonders how come the pepper shaker is always full while I fill it up every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks because in our household we eat the yearly pepper quota of a small country in two weeks.

I saw an ad for a smart bird feeder that sends a notification when a bird lands on it. If I wanted to prank my father in Sri Lanka I would send him one. He’s fed the birds in his garden for 30 odd years. If he’s late in the morning they line up on the clothesline and screech!

If someone on here would like to contribute to the relief efforts in my village Sri Lanka after the hurricane, I can put you in touch with the youth group at our church in Gonawala. That’s where my contributions go. The church hall houses families whose houses they can’t yet return to. The team

I went to the Turkish shop around the corner for some grocies and the butcher offered me coffee. I thought they had a pot of coffee going on and said yes. Nope, someone nipped out for the coffee. I think I have one more reason to bake a million Plätzchen this Christmas.

My little neff did something wonderful today. He told me something about his day that had nothing to do with things around us.

N: Mulberries in the garden
M: Oh you have mulberries in the garden?
N: Yes!
M: Do you like mulberries?
N: Yes!
M: I like mulberries too!
N: Mulberries have colours.

Remembering the Indian uncle at the cake counter of our favourite café in Frankfurt who when I ordered Black Forest said “no no, this cream cake has been sitting here two days in this heat, you’re having the mandarin cheese cake”. I had the mandarin cake.

The woman in front of us at Rewe wanted to buy a bunch of carrots with their tops on. The bunch cost like 1-2€, but the cashier rang up each carrot individually and they cost over 10€. Nothing says a woman does my cooking and grocery shopping like a man ringing up each carrot. The woman protested,

(Kein diss): Wurde letztens wieder von ehemaligen Schulfreundinnen geschockt gefragt, wie ich das aushalte, mit Mitte 40 noch immer keinen festen Job zu haben und ob ich nicht einfach doch noch eine Ausbildung zu etwas ganz anderem machen möchte ('Bibliothekarin' oder 'irgendwas mit Medien' 1/2

We have leftovers from last night’s dinner and my fiancé said “we can go half seasons”. I was like hmm, this must be Dutch. When I asked he said I say it. I don’t. What I do say is “go halfsies”. He’d thought it’s ’half seasons’ and he’s said it ever since. We’re going half seasons tonight.

I’m not really feeling Christian love with “you don’t know what you have unleashed”, “battle cry”, “we have the watch” and [cough] ‘Valhalla’.

My little neff is 2 years and 8 months old. Showing me his lion and elephant he says “they are friends”. I say “they are friends. They play… and they eat…” to which he usually says ‘together’ twice. Today he filled the blank after ‘eat’ with ‘food’. I’m like woohoo, transitive verb win…!!

I don’t know what Merz means by „mehr Eingenverantwortung“ in the context of health insurance and harder ‘social benefits’ reforms. It does though sound like the country is being governed by influencer alpha bros.

Question: I know Berlin requires cats to be indoors. What are the laws like in Brandenburg? Neighbors left on vacation, told the group chat cat is “fine” outdoors, and has someone giving food. I live in an area with Wildschwein, Fuchs and more, and the cat tried to follow in with us. I’m upset. 😢
