There's lots of trees around us now! It's a rural set house, also we're 100 m from the sea shore 🤗 Can see the ocean (we're in a bay) & the mountains - stunning 😍 Soooo many birds here too, including herons! Dusk & down are literally buzzing with all the noise 🤭🐦🐦‍⬛💚

No matter how long you've been eating animals, you can make a difference for them today 🌱

This is a joke @lilesosanna.bsky.social Exactly how are we supposed to be able to afford it if this happens? 🤷🏻 Because after petrol/diesel price hike the food will be next "because of transport costs" etc 🤬🤦🏻

No development here - it's area around the house, private terrain. So can't see the reason for all that? 🤷🏻

I just can't comprehend it 🤷🏻 why?! The area was beautiful with trees, lots of greenery & blackberries come autumn. 8 trees in total gone 😭 Now it looks bare & uninviting - good luck during summer trying to shade from the sun to whoever will come to live here after! Thankfully it's last night for us.

Chopped trees and bushes, only stomps left

I can't describe how sad, furious & in shock me & Hubby are! ALL the trees & bushes around the house have been chopped to oblivion yesterday 😭 These were home to robins & blue tits!🐦 Why?! WHY?!?! Thankfully we're in the new house from tomorrow & won't have to look at this carnage 💔
#nature #climate

PS. Everyone knows🤦🏻 & it's impossible to compete with it (being it any kind of ebook or even photography!) I can't put my prices any lower than they're already 😔 I think €4-€6 (price of 1 fancy coffee! ☕...) for collection of reliable recipes is fair price (considering my experience & time it takes)

Go to chatgpt & put request "create vegan Christmas ebook cookbook" etc. It will give you recipes & if asked even with "photos" 🤬 No clue if it's "creating" sth new or just taking them from blogs/websites 🤷🏻 It's a reason why writers/creators are pissed with AI engines! They cost like €1-€2 on Etsy 😭

Rocky Horror Picture Show frame with original 35mm cinema film pieces

Have to figure out a way to display this little gem 💎 nicely in the new house - backlight somehow? I'm holding it here against the window - otherwise you can't see those original 35mm cinema film pieces 🎞️ around. One of my most treasured things I owe 🫦😍

Thank you!😘 I already feel every muscle in my body😅 I'm being careful not to lift anything too heavy! Thankfully Hubby could take 3 days off work too, so we'll transfer more heavy things together💪🏻 luckily we don't have much furniture, but a LOT of books, well over 1000🫣😂 Hoping to settle in quickly

& can't compete on price on Etsy with hundreds of AI created eBooks 🤬 it took someone 1h what takes me weeks (of research, cooking, photos & putting eBook together)... & their quality & reliability of recipes etc is at least questionable! Also can't stand restaurants posting AI photos, seems dodgy 😅

Thank you! 🫶🏻 Already blocked the ones you mentioned 😊 I absolutely hate what AI is doing with the world in general (not only social media, but news & everyday life). For example I create vegan eBook cookbooks (based on my experience as a chef & 7 years vegan)... 1/2

One small crocus in full bloom

Good morning all 🌞 Took 3 days off to get on with this house move & hopefully start living in the new place from Saturday🤞🏻 Hubby off too so can move furniture etc together 💪🏻 Wish us luck & lots of strength 😅 Have a beautiful day 💚

PS. Planted lots of crocuses & daffodils here, will miss them...🌷

Thank you! 💚 I'll be more aware now 🧐

How do you know/figure out the AI accounts? The ones you listed follow me too I think 🤔

I have a feeling it's the other way round - Netanyahu finally found American president dumb enough to back him up 🤦🏻 Israel was acting like an aggressor attacking everyone around them for years, now they have a buddy to do it with...

Heating oil is up 30% in the past 36h in Ireland! Didn't take them long... Thankfully we got some oil last week for the new house. Now all we have to do is wait for the electric companies to announce new prices & look at our grocery bill going higher & higher as the weeks go by... 🤬

I hear you! 😭

Thank you 💚 One of the most stressful time of my life! 3 months of constant anxiety... Once we move properly I'm definitely back with lots of food pics! 😅 The kitchen is actually great in the new house (much better than now) & I'll finally have a dishwasher to deal with all that mess afterwards 😂

Thank you 🫶🏻💚 Hope you'll like them all! Let me know what you tried 😀

Exactly - we're with Airtricity in the old house, they're shouting how their energy is from wind, yet their prices go up! 🤦🏻 Yes, bit of back garden & patio, not too much but enough for us. Also front lawn & some flower corner (saw 2 🌹 bushes) will see what else will grow there come spring & summer 😅

Thank you 💚 That's exactly what I'm doing! An opportunity to clean & get rid off/re-home what's not needed anymore! 😊 Also, made me stop & rethink how I spend money on clothes & other stuff... you can clearly see how much you accumulated! Definitely taking a big lesson from it all for the future 🤓

Exactly what I said to Hubby last night - American & Israeli war that we'll pay the price for 🤦🏻 Diesel & petrol is already up at stations this morning! Saw it coming to work. Now energy & food will follow soon (any excuse to rip us off more! 🤬).

By pure miracle we found sth (at much higher rent than what we pay now...). It's more rural, can hear only birds now 🐦🥰 & super close to the beach, circa 150m from the shore - can't wait for the summer!🌞 We're only 10 min away from school & my work by car. Wrote quite long post about it only today 😅

I'm just in the middle of moving houses, not by choice, but because of landlords' greed! And yes, most of politicians are landlords & the new laws are FOR landlords BY landlords. I can't see how all this will end up being a good thing for Ireland in the long run...

Thank you! 🫶 There was lots of crying (on my part too), as we've been in this house for over 11 years, so girls feel like it's their "home", but we're trying to look at the move as an adventure & new beginnings (location close to the beach is also a plus, can't wait for summer!).

6. To anyone in similar situation: don't lose hope! I know it's tough, especially if you don't have family or friends who can help, give roof over your head, even if for a short while (harsh reality of emigration...). It's only now that I'm starting to sleep peacefully again. Take care of yourself 🫶

5. Thank you for sticking with me 💚 I'll be back with batch cooking, meal plans, budgeting asap - with the new rent & rising food & living costs, it's sth we all have to be mindful of. Hate what government is doing, can't understand landlords' greed & new rental laws will make things only worse! 😢

4. We have to move fully quickly, so lots to do while we're both working & girls are going to school everyday. We have a new home, about 150 m from the sea(!), with nice, modern kitchen & fireplace in the living room. So while my mind is not in the space of posting recipes yet - I'll be back soon! 🫶
