@sean It's a fun series. The first 2 seasons were great! 3rd is okay. Then it became a little bit meh as it seemed to drag on a bit. But overall a great series!

a modest proposal 

@mdhughes Oh that's worded so deliciously ambiguous. Wonder if they knew? ;)

@marathon@mastodon.online We prefer to figure out how to order straight from the business itself whenever possible. Also cheaper for us customers, since they usually add the commission amount to their prices.

@mur2501 This is apparently a nevelzwam (Clitocybe nebularis). It might be poisonous and might contain cancerous stuff. But apparently it's a delicatesse in France, provided you prepare it well.

I'm certainly not going to try it. I don't like the taste of mushrooms at all!

@mur2501 I wouldn't mind 23C... though 23C in the night usually means like 30+C in the day, which is a bit too much. Just a tad. A teeny weeny bit... like.. anything over 25C is a little too much. ;)

Though near freezing (water had thin ice layers scattered throughout) is a bit on the extreme opposite.

@rz Don't know C itself, but I know the silly semicolon thing from many other languages. :P ;)

Went for a little new year's walk today in the park. I can say it's pretty cold out there. (Yes, @mur2501 . It's close to actual freezing out there, nowhere near a nice balmy 16C. 😋)

On the way we passed this tree trunk with all those mushrooms growing around it. It's like a little mushroom ring for fairies. It looked spiffy enough for me to take a picture of.

Lots of bare trees and dead leaves. And muddy ground from all the rain in the past weeks.
'Twas a good walk.

@Elvindmt Aw :( I might've read about that before but it didn't stick. Zeus is still very much in my mind as a gorgeous kitty with a beautiful pattern. And he was your first kitty, wasn't he?

I do remember the introduction of Binx from FB images, including the cone of shame lol. Not sure if that was after Zeus? Or did Binx meet Zeus? I've not really been paying attention at FB very well and I get spammed there by unimportant posts so chances are likely I missed a lot of stuff. I dislike FB's timeline... it seems to favor meme-posters. :P

Suske got a heart problem as well, we don't know since when. Whenever a medical procedure needs to be done, at least they know they have to use special narcose on him. Just like a few weeks ago when his teeth needed cleaning bigtime. He's doing fine now, but was kinda out of it for over a week.
I hope to have him for at least a half decade still. My little boy is now over 11 years old. According to the chart at the vet, he's basically 61 human years old. He still gets his daily cuddles, sometimes even against his will. ;)

And what I've been up to.. I'm still a tech volunteer at this school. It's been slow lately thanks to corona, but I'm still helping out there. We're now on a forced work-from-home thing. We can still go to our job location if we need to, but other than that.. Staying home it is. At the very least until 19 january, then we'll see if schools reopen.

So at home... gaming, netflix, and social media mostly. Roguelikes and card battlers are the games that draw me in the most. I'm still pretty lazy much to my chagrin since there's plenty of interesting stuff that could be done. :P

I've not been MUSHing anymore for years, but could still code up stuff I'm sure. It's like riding a bicycle, you'll never forget. Just no reason to be on a MUSH anymore.

Lessee if I remember you well enough. :P I know you're married and you have a whole animal household now including a dog. And you absolutely love good food (and drinks). And you're probably still a huge geek like the rest of us.

Anything else I missed? ;)

Oh yeah.

Happy new year! ;)

@freemo
A lot of studies suggest alcohol in low doses is healthier than not drinking at all?

Somehow I doubt that. I think they mostly talk about (red) wine, of that I do seem to recall that in low doses it seems to have some healthy benefits, but even that is contested. Anything else is a no go.
@Diptchip

Power returned around 3:30-ish. Woo! Heat! Light! Computers! Internet that is not on a damn small phone screen! No more smelling paraffine!

Ok, a brighter 2021 everyone!

I'll start the day off healthy with a new year's walk with my mother soon!

@Elvindmt Heya! Welcome to the Fediverse! ;)

You mention only Binx, what about Zeus? Unless I've missed some news, I hope not!

If the cars here would go too fast, Suske would be permanently inside. But I've always lived in reasonably quiet neighbourhoods, specifically because of cats!

@freemo
Oh cool! Does that mean the Netherlands are leading the way for USA? We're at least 6 hours ahead! 😋

@guiltbert
Lots of fireworks here too. More than I expected because this year many of the fireworks were banned. Oh well.

Happy new year everybody. May your day not be as dark as here right now! :P (typing this by candle light)
