@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social But do this a hundred times and you’ll be able to tell your family and friends all those facts during the film. Like that, you’ll no longer be the only one missing the plot.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The reflecting pool is still reflecting. It’s reflecting the success of the Trump junta.

Cave canem!!! #dogsofmastodon

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Dreamflation.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Almost. A genetically modified strawberry looks like this:

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The healthcare cutbacks might have gone just a bit too far after all.

Yesterday, I told @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social that I did not experience too much frustration in the allotment. Today, all my tomato plants were dead, the pumpkin and zucchini were infected with severe mildew, and my raspberries and runner beans seem to stop producing. And all that in just four days time. 😤 #moestuin #gardening #allotment #frustration #karma #gemusegarten #potager

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Sure, we all know that, but do you know the way to San Jose?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Only 20 of them. European.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Like this one from Boxtel,NL: Translated:”front door on backside”

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Wow, and I thought that MY tomato plants were overproducing… 40 lbs!!! How many plants do you have?! (by the way, your emojis are in the wrong order for basil garlic tomato sauce… 🤪)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social But, reading the numbers, it’s quite reassuring that the US cease to exist in 2026.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Ah! Drive over to bring some ledtovers (if any)…

@smveerman@zug.network Mensen zijn dol op loterijen! En met AI wordt het een superspannende loterij waar je post terechtkomt! #keileuk

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social And then? JD? 😬

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Sorry is only necessary if you had anything to do with it. And since there is an Atlantic Ocean between us, I suppose you hadn’t.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Not sleeping when I should is one of my key competences… speaking of it… I still have to add this talent to my LinkedIn profile! Yet, I think hitting the sack would be a good idea (23:05 over here, alarm at 5:40)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Nightee! Er, not yet in your time zone, I presume…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Will try! (and in the improbable event that it doesn’t work, I might buy some eggs…)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social He’s a she, but still refusing… nothing. Maybe having her spayed didn’t help either…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social How do people do that? I have a busy job, a family, a house I’m renovating, and friends I want to see every now and then. And even in Europe a week tends to have no more than 168 hours… How do you manage to (over?)produce on social media, probably have a day job and have an allotment as well?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social And I’ll never match the plot of the neighbours who spend half their week in the garden. I’m happy to be the three times a week an hour, an hour and half…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I do have a non egg laying type of chicken to be able to participate in that team…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social But still refusing to lay eggs!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social For me, it’s more of a getaway from home and work… getting out of my head and into my body. And even with the f*ck*ps you have every now and then, the joy of getting away and having tastier food compensates enough for me… even though there’s plenty of veggies I’m not successful with. Carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, parsnip… my largest cauliflowers were a mighty two inch… 😬

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Low expectations tend to help… perfectionism will be punished. And at times it all looks great (and then come the mice, or carrot fly, or mildew,…)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The challenge of growing your own veggies is mainly growing a feasible quantity…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Okay, to make it even worse: you can drive for 24 hours on the roundabout in our village and still be in Stiphout. Now beat that!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Europe: A couple of weeks ago it took me four hours to drive back from Utrecht to Stiphout. A not to be underestimated 87 km within the Netherlands. By the way: this was by car, not by bicycle, which would be just as swift…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Also Europe: driving from one end of Norway to the other end would set you back almost 2800 km (1750 mi)…

@occult@vox.ominous.net Yet all the political moves contrary to the rule of law are so archetypal for third world countries. Just saying. So sad to see the US sliding into an authoritarian state.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social At least he’s safe from that dangerous winged monster.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social What shall I start with today…

@cmconseils@mastodon.social Oh those love birds… cheap pickup lines don’t matter…

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social B*ll sh*t! I’m 56 and still running like a youngster. At least, when I’m not injured, which is all the time. 🤔

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I hate TikTok so I won’t be seeing the human you’re referring to.

@occult@vox.ominous.net But we DO have our own bus line in Stiphout! (Okay, maybe it crossed over to do something about poverty in 3rd world country USA)

@occult@vox.ominous.net How and why on earth did my potato cross the ocean?!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Works in most villages.

@Themenmixer@sueden.social Ja hier! Wir brauchen eine App die “Papier” heißt! Supereinfach und ohne Bugs!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social How did Brab & Tom get their little girl, by the way? 🫣

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Where are the ‘people who have to get up at six but can’t sleep at night’?

@occult@vox.ominous.net I’ll admit that Cambridge, MA is not the US average… 😉

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social It’s (not its) all the fault of biologists. Mastodons belong to the genus of Mammut (the German word for Mammoth), while Mammoths don’t belong to the genus of Mammut, but to the family of Elephantidae and the genus of Mammuthus. In short: those biologists didn’t know themselves, or wanted you to be confused. But no matter what, I still enjoy your toots here on Mammoth. 😎

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The problem is that looking AT something is never enough to keep anything alive. You have to look AFTER it.
