European Sleeper confirms that their new Paris-Berlin sleeper will also stop at Aulnoye, Mons & Liège, see www.seat61.com/trains-and-r....
All being well, I'll be attending the launch event in Paris and riding the first departure from Paris on 26 March. Tune in for live updates! 🥳

My left arm while donating blood. You see the tube, but not the needle.
Donating! 🩸 If you can, please do, too!

Prachtbeslissing! Het is best n investering (zeker qua mensen, tijd, enthousiasme), maar zo'n troepje kanjers zijn het zó waard! Welkom bij de familie alvast, collega's!

Bright green bird with rich shiny red chest sitting on a mossy branch. Its head, with thin golden-yellow feathers sticking up vertically and oversized black marble-like eyes, is tilted down making it look shy or bashful.
Some of its bright green wing feathers are seemingly pointed the wrong direction, curves forward over its chest.
Bright green bird with an exceptionally long, iridescent, tail feather that is green to blue as it curves, sitting on a mossy branch looking back over its shoulder toward the camera.
I have to show off this absolutely unreal quetzal I had the pleasure of seeing in person. Otherwise I don't know if I could have been convinced that it wasn't stuffed animal.

Bernard Woolley: What if the Prime Minister insists we help them?
sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.
Bernard Woolley: What's that?
sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis.
sir Richard Wharton: In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do
nothing about it.
sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's
nothing we *can* do
sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too
late now.

@ElBeeToots @ionica @ellendebruin ah, ik ben wel blij dat Midas Dekkers dat ook vaststelt. Volgens mij lezen katten door osmose, inderdaad meestal met hun achterste - al is het contactoppervlak van een volledige flank blijkbaar ook voldoende om te compenseren voor de lagere opname-efficiëntie.

CBRNE equipment testing day: reminds me how much I love being the one asking the weird questions...
I often feel too sciency for the fire service, to field ready for the lab. CBRN-E is in that exact sweet spot.

Grote kartonnen doos op een grijze tegelvloer. De doos ligt op een kant, de opening half maar de kijker gericht. In de doos zitten twee smallere dozen, op elkaar. In de bovenste doos zit een driekleurige kat met witte borst en sokjes. Ze is een beetje te zwaar voor de doos. Bovenop de buitenste doos zit een witte kat met rosse en bruine vlekken. Op de achtergrond is het zadel van een witte motorfiets te zien.
Nieuwe bakken gekocht voor de moto. Nu nog wachten op het rekje.
De doos waar de bakken in kwamen is wel alvast goedgekeurd.

A cat resting on a low red chair. Somebody has taped a piece of paper to the backrest, with the drawing of a cat and the text «SI PREGA DI NON DISTURBARE IL GATTO QUANDO DORME» (please do not disturb the cat when it's sleeping)
It's a bit early for #caturday but I just found out that at the CUS (university sports center) offices they have an armchair reserved for the local cat and I thought the Fediverse would like this piece of information.

Maybe if we called it IDK "Flex Power" "resilient power" ? instead of "soft power" these guys might be able to learn about how ... powerful it is?

Bananen bevrijd en in de cake gedraaid. Bak open gewrongen, binnenkant gedemonteerd, maar er bleken echt al meerdere stukjes afgebroken. Nieuw is even duur als de wisselstukken dus. 100000 km en alles van interventiekledij over veel te veel groenten tot veel te veel boeken, chemicaliën en […]

Een witte bmw motorfiets (zij-aanzicht) met een grote zwarte zijkoffer. Op het passagierszitje liggen twee grote bruine zakken van elke 25 kg kippengraan, een grote grijze zak met een bak groenten erin en een emmertje met oranje vlokreeftjes ervoor. Alles vastgesjord met een blauwe riem.
Op de achtergrond een grote kale rozenstruik.
In de bakken van een BMW kan je een heel leven kwijt. En een groentenpakket voor een week en kreeftjes voor de kippen. Tot het slotje stuk gaat. Dan zit je ineens in de #carryshitolympics categorie zwaargewichten.
En dan nu die bananen maar na bevrijden...

5 people around a table, next to a window. 3 girls closest to camera are cutting and mixing different vegetables and adding salt to a pitcher of water. 1 boy in the background next to the window sill is cutting up a big Asian pear, the man opposite him is looking on (or checking his laptop, maybe?)
