In-reply-to » @lyse so pretty! Ah, the anticipation of an incoming heat wave! Now you guys have a small glimpse of what we live with here almost every single day. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I know heat (I’ve been to Southeast Asia, for example – or Florida đŸ€Ł), but you’re right, it does hit very differently when it’s at home. “At home” is usually the cool and relaxed place, but now it’s hell. And no AC anywhere in sight.

Just checked and realized that four of my older posts are over the 140 character recommendation. Will be more careful!

In-reply-to » @lyse Thanks! You had one of the strangest guesses so far, first one I had to look up. 😄 It is a reference to a (human) cop/detective, from a 2019 videogame. Since there's no spoilers tag on Twtxt, the name of the file on my site, includes the correct answer.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Oh, I’m absolutely bad with videogames. Never heard of that one.

In-reply-to » I went to check on the fireflies this season. But I didn't see any. Instead lots of moths. At first, I thought it might have been still too light, but it was already dark enough for me to miss and destroy a snail shell. Bummer. Maybe it was too wet tonight. Although, it's probably just another or two weeks until my glowing friends will finally show up.

The firefly season is ending. I only saw 200 of them or so. There was one female directly on the forest road. If only I brought my camera and tripod, that would have worked out I reckon. I had my torch with me and this looked really cool.

Dusk took forever today. It was really long light out there. Full moon is tomorrow.

On the way back, there was suddenly a load clatter and crashing sound 100 meters away from me. I didn’t see anything, but a tree fell over in the forest out of the blue. Fuck me dead, that was scary as hell. Luckily, I was already on the main road, only meadows around me. It’s the second time I witnessed a tree accidentally coming down. The first one was during the most expensive hail storm in our area so far in 2011 behind me when setting up a summer camp. The weather changed in less than 15 minutes.

Maybe not such a good idea to go out so late alone. :-? Any rustling in the forest immediately reminded me of the boar the other day. Luckily, always false alarm. Still a bit terrified from that event.

In-reply-to » Finally finished another meme one, I always wanted. It took forever, to get it right, so I really hope people get the reference. Media

In-reply-to » We’re at 39.5 °C now. Are we going to hit 40? https://movq.de/v/43544d5385/2026-06-27--14-12.webp

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh my! :-O We reached 38°C. It’s now down one degree.

I just got up from my two, three hours siesta. And I tell you, that was bloody amazing. Layed in bed in undies, no blanket, just some power metal in my headphones and I was sleeping like a baby. Normally, I NEED a blanket, no matter what. But this summer, it’s already the second time that I actually manage to drop off without one.
