Yesterday: thunderstorm warning. Today: rain, mostly.

Yesterday we’ve had a warning of severe thunderstorms, so after a short stint outside, I kept the cat in:

If you have seen the football game between Denmark and Germany, yes, that was the storm they’ve warned us about. Wasn’t that severe here tho.

Today, the forecast is rain for pretty much the rest of the day, so after she’s been out for about three hours (and probably meeting some of the neighbours’ cats which I saw outside), now I’m keeping her in again. Of course Bella protests about that, even if I try to tell her about “dog weather” 😉 But the sun will shine again…

Anyway, thanks again for viewing and for reading.

Bella from yesterday (Wednesday, 26th of June, 2024)

Yesterday I’ve found Bella in the shadow of a tree outside:

She was home faster than me 😉 This photo is straight out of my phone and on a small Mastodon server in England.

Today she was screaming – she felt or was molested by a neighbours’ Birman. So after she came in through the window in our lunch area, I kept her in.

Like always, thanks for viewing and for reading.

Bella from today (Tuesday, 18th of June 2024)

Like always, thanks for viewing.

Edit: at Heise+ – which sadly I can’t afford – they have an article about minimalistic black & white studio photography. Well, I *do* have a camera and some studio strobes, and one of them is kind of permanently installed at our dining area – so I just sat down for a “selfie”. Camera is my Olympus E-M10 Mk2 with a Panasonic 35-100mm lens, and they were triggered by my smartphone. The studio strobe (with gridded beauty dish) was triggered by radio signal from the camera. Looks like this:

Again, and like always, thanks for viewing.

Oh my, it’s end of May already…

… where did the time go? Okay, here are some photos I took. First is on Flickr:

And second is on the Fediverse (a Mastodon server):

I also tried to figure out a bassline for a friend, using the fretless before taking the big upright bass. So here’s my Squier beside my computer desk:

As always, thanks for viewing.

Edit:

while two of the three photos from above come from my home on a Mastodon server, I just also opened a new account on pixelfed.de, currently with only two photos on it. Have a look if you like, I guess I’ll post more there soon(ish).

Some pictures and thoughts, end of April 2024

Here are two more photos of our cat, one from the 6th of April:

On some other news, Zuleikha’s FitBit Inspire had a very dim (monochrome) display lately, so after some driving around and looking at available options, she opted for the same Xiaomi Smart Band 8 which I also have. I think she likes it, although she’s using it with the vendors’ Mi Fitness app instead of Gadgetbridge which I am using. Still a good choice in my opinion, especially for the price (hers was even a bit cheaper than mine).

Anyway, like always, thanks for reading and viewing.
