Our Zatma ... we took her again to the vet, who this time made a comprehensive blood test. I knew something was badly wrong with her, I know my cats. But I had not imagined this result - the vet says, she suspects liver cancer. The results suggest it, but she said to confirm it we would need MRI and a biopsy - not advisable for a cat, at least not here.

@nprofile…at80 I can just boost your posting - I was afraid it would be the teeth after what you wrote this morning. Cannot help myself, sorry, no payment mode online for me. I hope some others will be able to contribute.

@nprofile…gk57 Floods in Spain - after a long draught - have also an impact on vegetable and fruit prices, but maybe more for Europe.Olive oil is suffering also in Italy and other places due to climate change - and in Palestine due to Israels disregard of human life and environment. Rooting out hundred year old olive trees is their sport in the West Bank.In Jordan the price of one canister (about 16l, I think) went up from about 70JD ten years ago to now 110 JD and more. (1$ - 0,7 JD)

@nprofile…gk57 We have been living here with the threat of war since longer - actually I started stocking in 2016 which came in handy in 2020 when due to corona things got difficult. So I got some experience, but I must say that here in Jordan also the government got wise and there is a food reserve, for example.
What we found out is important to stock due to the possibility of availabilty problems (think about trade through the red sea is actually very much down), is any kind of medication. Start

@nprofile…gk57 I think I still could do a lot of stuff younger people would find hard. But I think this is really a question of generations and age - my grandmother, who taught me a lot, was born in 1901 and survived two world wars, hyperinflation, Nazis etc. My mother was born in 1924, she grew up to bad times. In our house things would be repaired, both had gardens and conserved food, things would only be replaced if absolutely gone. I try to use what I learned, which is not always possible.

@nprofile…gk57 Thank you, at least there was a lot of boosts. Let's see.
To the others: I keep an eye on all suitable hashtags, I don't insist on an instance - but even the hashtags did not yield a lot of results.

@nprofile…gk57 That is one thing I have been searching myself in vain until now. I am also Hijabi, but since I left Twitter I am missing muslim company (and there, too, it was not too much. Too many muslim forums got killed by FB, nearly all I knew) - there are a few accounts here and there but no instance I found especially appealing. So, if you find an answer, I'd be greatful if you share it with me.
I had a look at paktodon, but for my taste it lacks visibility.

@npub19cy…l06z Maybe you could buy two paints and mix a lighter orange?

@npub1qk5…jlda Wonderful pic. I am down to three, the others prefer to sleep in the salon. Ok, sometimes four, if you count this little resless witch.

It's supposed to get warmer this week, until it starts raining again next wednesday (always IF the weatherforcast is reliable).
So yesterday I used the opportunity to hang washed clothes outside - in the house they don't dry anymore with the humidity.
Should start working - still having one eye up on the cats' ladder as if I was waiting for Amy. Zatma is sleeping at my feet like a good office cat, but I'm missing my Amy. The picture is from last year, of course - wish she was here.

@npub1qk5…jlda Yes. And I hope the vet will be able to do something - we don't want her to stay there, she once had to and it was months until she would trust us again. But this time she seems too sick - though not too sick to make it up the grape and over the wall!

2024-01-25 05:06:32

Again, I write with a heavy heart. My Amy is sick. I planned to take her to the vet today, in spite of everything that says no to that plan, but now she managed to climb up the grape and disappear. Today is thursday - if she does not show up before noon, the vet will be closed till saturday. Did she hear us talking about the vet? I did not yet prepare the box!

Since I lost access to any online payment method I went back to read and re-read what is on my ebook reader. But it galls me when I read a series and see there are now more books available and I cannot buy any of them. Yesterday I finished what I have in the Lottie-Parker-Series by #PatriciaGibney - I would have loved to continue. Same goes with the Kuschner-Series I wrote about recently, and I unfortunately postponed buying the whole "Maigret" in original in spring - my bad. #reading #books

I love books - and I love translating novels from English to German so more people can enjoy them. During the last ten years I acquired a lot of experience; I never counted but I am sure it was more than 100 novels meanwhile. Most are Regency romances, historical romances or mysteries, but I also translated several series of YA fantasy (I love my dragons).
If anyone would like me to translate their novel, ask me for a quote - I seem to have some time during this winter.

@npub1qk5…jlda Love your pictures. My knowledge of Indian geography is a bit thin - which state are you living in?

Fighting with wordpress - searching for a new theme, free, I cannot subscribe for a payed plan. But all my favorite themes seem no longer available. Chose one, and now I have no idea any more how to customize it. Maybe insert some test posts to get a better impression how it works out ...

@npub1qk5…jlda All the best for the little guy.
