Same here. Diptic is wonderful.

That looks great and such a clever idea with the loop!

As for the ruler, maybe you could make a cutout from a piece of cardboard of the same thickness that the ruler fits into so that the page is flat for writing?

This could be me. I first really fell in love in my thirties. Before that I had book boyfriends. Characters who I related to because of how they were written.

I didn’t know what aromantic/asexual was at the time, but they both fit me. I’m now married to a man who is my best friend and who accepts me as I am.

And being aro/ace doesn’t mean that I don’t have feelings. I do. I just have no idea whatsoever on how to express them and still feel like me, I guess?

Ps tried to add the image to the post but can’t attach anything even if reducing the image to 39kb 😂

oh my gosh, this was one of the most exciting finals of the past years.

This will be a slow ride until the last 10k! I bet evenepoel is going for that one too 😂

I love that JV was finally riding to keep Kuss in red!

I think this one is for the people who are still in the breakaway after the San Lorenzo. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Evenepoel take this one.

I’m right there with you. If I were Kuss, I would sign for another team because at JV he will always be just a domestique, apparently. That’s what Jonas and Primos told him today with their actions. They could have worked for him as he has worked for them so so often.

And then Jonas said in an interview that he hoped Kuss would win the Vuelta. Actions speak louder than words, dude!

Not surprised by it. He’s in the depiction of the phrase: let’s try again tomorrow. Such mental strength for one so young!

Team Sky came close when they had Wiggins and Froome, but in the end Wiggins was top. A predecessor of JV once named Mollema, ten Dam and… Gesink? as their GC guys. They did a n interview about it and it was so awkward

It will be interesting to see what JV will do. They can’t expect Kuss to play the supporting role while he’s that much ahead, no?

I think that Evenepoel will go for a breakaway if he has the legs today. He’s so much behind now…

Beforehand, I picked today for Wout Poels in the vuelta game I do, no real reason other than he likes tough stages and I want a Dutch win.

 

There is a place for graphically gorgeous distro’s, but when it comes to ease and speed, Xfce is just the best for me.

I started using Xfce when Xubuntu first came out and I switched to Linux Mint Xfce when that started. I did try other distro’s when others recommended them, but always switched back to Xfce.

I have an old Eeepc that runs so smoothly on the latest Mint Xfce despite being a senior in computer years.

And that’s why it was about time I gushed about Xfce on here 😀

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed the TDFF this week! Such a foggy Tourmalet.

Will write more later, don’t want to spoil anything yet.

Final stage tomorrow, a time trial!

 

It's nearly August so I thought I would put up a post!

I'm still working on my July plans, waylaid by my health issues, but I want to make plans for August to keep the momentum going.

What are your plans for August?

I will post mine in the comments.

 

When I grew up, I wore home made clothes created with the best natural fabrics my parents had available.

Then I grew up and almost exclusively bought new clothes. The thing is, most of them barely lasted a season.

After many years of discarding clothes, I went back to my childhood ways, buying clothes made with organic cotton, wool or linen. Spending a little more on clothes that now stay with me for years, not a season.

I do keep out of season clothes separate from my wardrobe so every season it feels like I have new clothes I’ve just bought.

Lately my quest for quality branched out to my office supplies. I only buy what I know will last me, so no throwaway pens and crappy paper notebooks.

In my major office declutter, I let go of so many crappy notebooks and pens. It made my heart ache to see all that bad paper and plastic go to the thrift store, knowing that most might end up in recycling.

In what area can you focus on more quality vs stuff that starts to break down when you buy it?

 

I took this picture two weeks ago, from a car driving past, with an old lumix tz-10

 
  1. Get all the already decluttered stuff out of the house.
  2. Clear my desk (aka how does it get so messy in the first place)
  3. add art supplies to shelf
  4. Sort/declutter last bookshelf I need to go through
  5. File admin stuff and do the tasks

I also need to make it an evening routine to clear my desk before I leave my office, but that’s not something I will be able to do in a week

 
 

My husband put several Monstera Adansonii stem cuttings in a box on some perlite and they are growing so fast! Our home will be full of monkey mask plants soon 😊

 

I intend to work in my office/home library. I started to declutter there last month, but it needs some more work. Well. A lot of work.

I may post a to do list for this next week :)
