Sorry for the double post.

About the colours of food. I have learned of an experiment that if you for example put a blue light on, all food looks disgusting. But the same food under yellow light looks really delicious.
There are a lot of shops who use certain wavelengths of light to make their products look more attractive. Not only grocery stores but also for example clothing shops.

There is no real tradition of Halloween here. Just some kids trick or treating but not everywhere and those adults who like dressing up in horror costumes and having a reason to party. It came with the popularity of American movies and of course shops trying to make profit by selling Halloween stuff. And the Kindergarten used it as a more attractive festivity than all hallows day or harvest festival. So I am guessing it has gradually become some sort of new tradition among those families with children in the last 15 to 20 years.
And personally I like the horror theme more than our own tradition of Fasching in February. And one gets to do some art with all those pumpkins so one doesn't have to eat them all, lol. My grandmother always made pickled pumpkin, which we had to eat all winter. Yuck. Along with other pickled vegetables she grew in her garden.

I am grateful to be born in the age of global trade, so we don't have to make food durable for winter time any more. Now I just go to the supermarket, buy whatever relatively fresh stuff is there and if I like I can grow my own stuff, but am not dependent on the survival of my own crops.

Happy Halloween. 🎃

Mini is out there with some friends. She is going as a cute bat.
Micro is dressed as some unknown Anime woman. It looks good, but she will stay at home because this year she wasn't invited to any party and we won't allow her to go out on her own. But we are watching movies together and later we will eat a blood red soup and some sausages disguised as cut off fingers.

Once I made green raspberry muffins with some silvery powder for Kindergarten, but the kids didn't eat them,  because they looked too disgusting, lol.
They looked like bleeding moldy zombie Muffins, mwahaha.

I think that 12 months will start Halloween night and end on haloween night. I think that it is about harry and molly getting rid of the winter mantels.
I don't think so. They need to be with Winter, because them leaving now would weaken the whole court and with it the defense of the Outer Gates.

Klaus Kinski, the most crazy psycopathic diva ever, lol. Famous for his tantrums.
There is a Comedian Max Giermann, who can imitate Kinski as if he was the real one. When I first saw him on TV I thought this was some old show, but then I wondered why the people in the audience were dressed in a modern way.  Had to google if Kinski was still alive, because Giermann's performance was so realistic. And all the insults he is throwing around in his role as Kinski are actually quotes from the original Kinski. Very funny.

Hi Weirds... looking forward to watching the "Sartana" spaghetti westerns I got for my birthday.
Hi, happy birthday to you. 🥳
Sounds like fun. I am not sure I have ever seen them, but could be. I've seen a lot of those kind of westerns with my dad.

Is the Thames situation OK again?

We are rewatching the Mentalist and Loki.
Have fun with Sartana!

Today is Mother's Day in my country, so I wish a wonderful Day for Regen and her mom. And also to all the forum inhabitants' mothers, and to  those who are mothers themselves  :) 💗

Well, thank you in the name of all mothers.  🥰

We've had sunny weather too. Though the temperatures are lower. But so far it has only been freezing once. Sunrise is around 8 am and sunset around 6 pm now. So the dark periods are now as long as the light periods.

Da Vinci is a bit pissed when he has to stay inside in the evenings and punches his sisters in their faces when they are in his reach. And he does some angry meowing. But once he is fed he gets tired and Mini takes him into her room for the night. That's very cute. He gets to sleep on a cushioned chair beside her bed with her hand in his fur.
Mona seems to have checked out the auto repair shop too. She has walked through gasoline. I cleaned her paws as good as I could and she didn't lick them a lot I think. I am glad the grass is so wet these days so that she cleans her paws just by walking through the grass.

Book news: I have finished the new book by Kevin Hearne: Candle & Crow, which is the third book of a trilogy set in the Iron Druid universe, but after the last druid book and from the point of view of the Scottish sigil agent Al MacBaharrais. I liked it a lot because in a way there was a happily ever after for the druid in there which I missed at the end of Iron Druid. This is the ending I always wished for and I am glad he included this in the book.

There are other new book to read but I wanted to continue Sandman Slim now. I am at book 3. This is also a nice read and there is character development, which is important to me.

Sorry for the double post. I did something that made the square with the text disappear and wasn't able to bring it back, lol.

We are doing OK, I think. Everyone is ill around us, but so far we have had nothing serious.
My mother was in Italy for a week. Wellness week with friends. Good for her.

At work, I have a new boss. He seems nice and polite to me, but some of the doctors want to quit because of him. We'll see. In my opinion they quit because of themselves. So far he hasn't done or said anything unreasonable.
So there hopefully will be a bunch of new doctors soon. We'll see.


@PilgrimDan:
How is the Thames now?

A former One Direction just died in my country.
I just googled this. He fell out the hotel window? Did he kill himself, was he killed or was it an accident?

*pops in and waves "hi"*  :)

Hi! How are you?


@all:
I am so excited. Today is the wedding. We will do a last rehearsal for the songs in half an hour.

I did not find the kind of shoes I hoped for. Probably because I only went to the outlet store, because I didn't want to pay a lot of money.
But I found other not quite so elegant bright red shoes. I wish it was a vampire party. They would go well with a cape and fake teeth, lol.

Maen all!
Hope you all are well.

Update on the girlfriend: she can sit and stand and her voice is starting to come back. If you've been intubated, you feel like you have a sore throat and your voice is bad for a while. I've only been intubated once for emergency surgery and I thought I was getting a cold. It was the same feeling.
Today they will implant a defibrillator. Apparently she has a heart condition that has been unknown previously.
She has been studying tax law for a few months and during the lessons her heart suddenly stopped beating. Her teacher saved her life. If she had been alone when it happened, she would have died.

Topic change: I'm looking forward to October and November. There will be new books!
And I am reading the Sandman Slim books. Currently at book 2.

Today I am at home because I have worked during the weekend. So I can prepare for the wedding. I still don't have the right shoes. I have elegant shoes but they are not for wet weather. I am trying to find closed ones so that my feet won't get wet. Probably will have to drive further because I need lady's shoes for big feet, lol. Those are hard to find so I usually just wear men's shoes or running shoes. But I can't do that at a wedding, lol. So, if I don't find any, I will wear the ones I have and endure cold and wet feet.

He should take it slow for a few weeks. My friend once had a nasty pneumonia and it took her 2 months to be able to breathe normally again.

Our rehearsal went well. We had fun and I think the songs will be good for the wedding. It just took us a while to adjust the settings of the microphones.

The girlfriend is still in a coma, but she was put there on purpose. Tomorrow or Monday they will wake her up and then we will see if she has any brain damage. I hope not.

Oh no, what a shock! I hope hubby will be well soon and send all my best wishes and health improvement factors to you.

We are a little bit ill, too. But nothing that serious. Just some running noses, harmless coughing, raised temperature, stomach issues and headaches.
School has started last week and I didn't have the time to get better. Micro is now out of elementary school and I think she feels a bit stressed because of all the changes, though she tries to play it cool.

Autumn started as abruptly as it sometimes does with a temperature drop from over 30 to 10°C from one day to the other and almost constant rain. No wonder people get ill.

Today we are rehearsing the songs for my cousin's wedding. And Micro needs pictures for her school file. And Mini needs new shoes.

And yesterday my brother-in-law's girlfriend fell into a coma. We don't know why yet. He just told the family yesterday evening. I hope there will be news soon. She has two children.

So, all my best wishes for everyone who is not as healthy as they should be. I'll take my ibuprofen now and hope the headache will get better. Tomorrow I plan to do nothing but sleeping and occasional eating and drinking, of course.

Hi, Weird.
I'm taking a break at the moment. I promised my mom to paint her winter garden. It is a big wooden construction with plexiglass. Outside it has only 28°C but inside the construction, there are 55°C, even though I opened all the windows and switched on a big fan. I thought from the beginning, that this has been a bad idea. Ok, the idea wasn't bad per se, but the idea was to be able to sit there during the winter and to have shelter from the rain in summer. But in reality the only times one can sit there without either freezing or being baked to a crisp is in spring and autumn and when it is raining. They shouldn't have put the glass on the ceiling.
So here I am painting in the heat. I have drenched a cap in water and put it on my head. I have started about 6 hours ago and I guess I will be done in about two hours from now. After that, I will not do anything else for today. This is one of the moments in which I would wish for Harry's Winter Knight powers, lol.
