@samlakewrites.bsky.social Hey Sam. Huge fans here. My buddy @meganwire.bsky.social 's birthday today and she would DIE if you said hello!

Oh man what's happening with you?

Mate I thought that was you! How have you been? No change here, weathering the nightmare storm lol

samlakewrites.bsky.social My special friend Megan's birthday is today. She's a huge fan, and would absolutely die if you gave her a wave! Hyvää syntynmâpäivää sinä ihana vanha narrtu

I went with the Titanic one since I know I like it #riveting

Norn Irish people. You know @belfastcoffeeco ? I've had their Titanic in work and it's lovely, but want to try some others. Any whole bean recommendations? Not a fan of bitter or acidic, prefer smooth with biscuity/cereal notes. I need those tasty beans for my new bean to cup.

*be. Obvs. Bit jittery with all this caffeine.

Love my new bean to cup machine my sister gave me for Christmas. Game changer. Now I can insufferable in whole new ways.

Sure it saves having to get antibiotics. I've a knee that needs something done on it I might give that page a look!

Are these the kind of cures where you phone some wee man and e.g. he says a Hail Mary over the phone and you have to leave bread and salt out for the fairies? I had a kidney infection cured once by similar methods 🤷🏼‍♂️

Is he, you know

I can tell it's well made, but still. I can't help feeling it's what a pervert would wear. To cover up his pervertness, but instead accentuates it. I think I would have liked it a few years ago. Maybe those 5 bouts of covid did something to the old nose.

Pieta, occuring (you gradually realize) within a sarcophagus. Very odd mixture of physical/spiritual pain and a kind of intense sensuality. Giovanni Bellini, what a painter. Today is his day.

Looking right at you from 17th-century Bruges: a young girl, in a stunning portrait by Jacob van Oost. Today was his day.

Loving the smell of mass in a glass 🙏. Avignon by Comme des Garçons. Delighted that this one appears not to have been reformulated in all the years it's been around (since 2002).

I love saying Bundt.

Can't argue with the evidence.

Oh dear. Lovely packaging, I like these little slipcase/mini set of drawers boxes. I'm afraid this is going on eBay. I should have known after the soapy disappointment of Cardinal. Whatever else it might be, this is definitely not a church incense. Where do these perfumers go to mass? #perfumesky

I've only just been adequately chilled, this'll play havoc with my seasonal hormones.

Oh bbz. There's no one I'd rather be inquisitioned by than you.

Samharam by Arte Profumi. Try as I might I can't quite capture how beautifully blood red that heavy thick bottle is. Love the quietly luxurious box and velvet insert. It helps also that this is my holy grail perfume. A pure burning Catholic Church incense, no other superfluous accords or notes.

Nadja is being wasted in this series and Nandor has been seriously dumbed down. My sis and I think that since the writers are setting all the pieces in place for the finale they've lost focus on what makes it good.

So beautiful. And I'm working from home tomorrow so I can actually appreciate the snow!

It really is done so well.

Oh wow, you don't have to, but thank you so much! Will keep my eyes peeled too
