I need a real life pop-up from The Sims that tells me whether the person I'm talking to is considered an #associate, an acquaintance, or ifr we've become friends or even good friends. Between the language and cultural barriers in a new country, it's difficult to tell...

When she lived in a concrete jungle, she built an #oasis in her mind: green grass and a thicket of trees, a quiet pond, and birdsong all around. Now that she lives in the place of her dreams, the only barriers left are the walls in her mind...

When moving house,
days #blur into each other.

Was it just Monday
or is it the weekend?
Did we unpack that yet
or are we missing something?

The only measure of time remains
how quickly the horses eat down a field.

A photo of a meadow that is divided in the middle. On the left side the grass is very short and yellow/brown, and a text says "a week of grazing". On the right side, the grass is lush and green, and the text reads "untouched".

News from the big move: with the arrival of the horses today, the entire family is now successfully moved into our remote and quiet country house in Denmark. This is the first time I have my horses right outside my house, and I wonder when it will stop being weird (in the best way!) 😅

I've been living here for a year before I bought this house, and I love it!

Hi Bluesky friends, I'm not dead or missing - I bought a country house in the middle of nowhere in Denmark, and my time and energy is currently consumed by getting everything ready for 2 humans, 3 cats, and 2 horses to move in. I'll hopefully be back here soon(tm)!

Roses are red. #violets are... some sort of blue? Wait, this dandelion is kind of the same color as the roses... Am I colorblind?
