2 tubs of ice cream. One with guava and mango flavours. The other with Macha, Sesame & Honey and also Maple Bacon Crunch scoops
Trips away are always about finding new things, and today I discovered Maple Bacon Crunch and also Macha Sesame & Honey flavours of ice-cream. I'm counting that as holidaying done well 😃
Quite the interesting connection between very early steam trains / rail in the UK and Germany it seems - I didn't know either of these nuggets of info. TBF, its a fantastic museum, full of little snippets of info that send you down fascinating rabbit holes of searching for more info
I was delighted and a bit surprised to discover that there is a small section of the rails from this track in the Technology Museum in Berlin.
Very glad Freya is in the mend & home!
Very much hope she is on the mend soon!

No enthusiasm here for going outside at their usual walk time - the sofa spot is a far nicer &safer place to be than out in #StormDarragh
Thanks @simonjbains.bsky.social for creating this & adding me in. Will be a useful resource for us all as the community here continues to grow

At the Natural History Museum in Berlin. Pleasant surprise to find my phone picked up and connected to Eduroam the minute I walked in, so I could get straight online
Unable to provide #proofOfCat , but I do have these 2 - and tbf, Greyhounds are *very* feline in their behaviour - tremendous amount of napping on the sofa / any available lap going on, regularly interrupted by demands for treats / dinner
