Cat 1 is a reincarnation of an ancient god of chilling and relaxation. He will sleep on whatever place you want to sit. Your nice garden chair? Cat. Desk chair? Cat. Bed? Cat. He’s a little burglar that will break into the neighborhoods houses and sleep on their stuff as well. Doesn’t matter if they already own cats themselves.

Cat 2 loves scratches and cuddles but will always stand juuuust out of reach, rubbing herself and rolling on the floor. If you move closer, she’ll move further away. She’s also a cryptid and only able to be photographed like a blurry bigfoot so I can’t show anyone how cute she is with her little white mittens.

Those are some spectacular patterns! They remind me of the ‘celtic knot’.

That’s an amazing collection! I’ve got the tajine, tea kettle and a frying pan in red/black ombre. I love the matching coasters you have!

Nice article and very true! To help native pollinators you can plant native flowers, and also very important: leave the dead plants in your garden at the end of the season. The pollinators use the stems of dead plants for their overwintering. Please don’t place a ton of insect hotels either, solitary bees aren’t supposed to nest together and you will get mites and other pathogens that infest the baby bees (this happened in my garden and all my neighbors gardens…). If you do want an insect hotel for mason bees, clean it out every year and replace the tubes where the bees lay their eggs. Also store the tubes in an appropriate place in the winter, but be sure to put the tubes with eggs outside when it’s time to hatch :)

Interesting to see these differences, and wow those are some beautiful fabrics and embroidery in some of those houses!

My saviour! Thanks :)

Like the others have said, the ripening takes a long time. As long as the plant isn’t dropping the fruits or they are rotting before ripening I would just wait patiently :)

In my country they use vans like a Mercedes Sprinter because you can actually keep your stuff dry and even make a little workshop in there. The only use I can think of for a pickup truck is maybe gardeners so they don’t have to haul a trailer for their green waste? Could also maybe be useful to haul strawbales if you have a small farm. But you can just do that in a trailer behind your van as well, and your equipment will be dry inside the van and you can leave the trailer when you don’t need it.

Backup cameras became required by law in 2016

That must be local to you, my 2019 car doesn’t have one and in my (European) country this is not mandatory.

Is this a Rosa rugosa? The fruits could be dying because of too much or too little water. Hard to say without knowing your location, type of soil and how you care for them. Is the plant still pushing out new flowers? It costs a lot of energy to make a fruit, so make sure you water and feed your plants while they are making flowers and fruits. Plants need different nutrients in the growing leaves-phase than they do in the growing fruit-phase, so be sure you pick the right fertilizer.

edit to add: I have rosehip in my garden too, but I live in Europe and I planted the native Rosa canina. I find native species easier to care for since they are adapted more to local climate and soil.

Exactly! I don’t care that I don’t have the most modern gadgets on my phone, I didn’t have them before so I will not miss them. To me being unable to replace my battery or having to get rid of my phone because the OS is outdated is unacceptable and stupid and I will gladly sacrifice having a 1gigapixel camera or being able to take my phone in the shower.

I’ve had my FP3 for the same amount of time, still on all original components. Battery lasts through the day easy. The camera is bad, so I might replace that for the upgrade, but other than that I have no issues. My partner buys fancy phones and he is on his third phone in the same timeframe because they all broke. Shame your FP3 is not holding out as well as mine!

I’m still in mourning over the Ubuntu phone OS :(

That is amazing! I had a Fairphone 1 and used it until the ‘on’ button broke which was about the only thing not available from the parts store. Now I have a Fairphone 3, have had it for a few years now. I might get the camera module upgrade as I still have an old one and it’s the only disappointing thing about the phone. I’ve been looking forward to fixing my phone because the modular design they made is amazing, but absolutely nothing has broken yet in my 3 years of use!

That’s some wild technology, no belt around your lap either. Huh.
