You do know that A it's obviously AI and B If it wasn't as obvious, Google image search also exists?

I have the opposite firmware installed, he wants to be on *ALL* the photos. He keeps jumping up on tree stumps and posing until I take a picture.
If I bring out the photo backdrop to take a book picture... You see what happens 😂

Book#18

Grief, survival, and the quiet aftermath of catastrophe. A hollowed hero learning how to exist agqin, one moment at a time, held together by duty, friendship, and stubborn will.

Heavy, raw, and deeply human.

Book#17

War shadows, village and town life, and a harsh world seen through the eyes of a boy who refuses to lose his kindness. Dark events, strong family and community bonds, and a steady voice that keeps the pages turning.

Thanks for the always spot on entertainment! I was stalling on 3 books when this came out, and there was no stalling whatsoever 😉
Definitely ultimate comfort read that *always* keeps my attention!

All the best stories feel too short surely 😉

Meanwhile I'm trying to go post the maximum (audiobooks sometimes are really quiet and I can't even understand them when close to a busy road on the walk home. I'm not on the road btw, not on the other side of a fence 😅)

Unfortunately not having insta anymore I can't watch it.
But still more *hugs*

Krapfen please 😝

At least in Bavaria.

Apparently some other regions call them Pfannkuchen to make it extra confusing.
February 13, 2026 at 10:22 PM
Yes! These are super common in Germany, especially around central time. usually called Krapfen or Berliner, depending on where you are.

I love the ones with vanilla best, but the classic jam is also good.

Now I want some...

God yes! Whenever an audiobook finishes and I forgot to hit the "play this next" button before, it starts samples of the new HP.

And as much as I used to enjoy HP, I will never ever touch anything by the horrific terf ever again *ugh*

What sort of question is that? 😱

Oh this is very worthy dog pic tax!

Just look at those gorgeous cuties!
February 13, 2026 at 4:28 PM
Hahaha, I've had that before as well. Stopped for a moment to redo my shoelaces and a tree decided the snow was too heavy now and dropped about 5kg of snow onto my head 😂

Came home and my hair was actually frozen and I had to thaw it out so it wouldn't break off ...

But... Where is the dog pic!?

He's with us a bit over 2 years, I don't think he shed as much in 2 years as he did in the last week!

He practically didn't shed before. Fur more like human hair that just keeps on growing.

We had a super long, cold winter - apparently he *can* grow undercoat if needed! 😅
