Hello all! I feel like talking about my cat. Lately, she jumps in the bathtub after I showered and calls me until I come see her. I run a thin trickle of water because I know cats like to drink from the tap.

But my precious little baby isn't quite as gifted as the cat in the above gif. She… tries to catch the water trickle with her little paws or… to bite it?? Which is just totes adorbs. But alas, ineffective.
You tried baby, I'm still proud of you.

This weekend I finished a great book, My absolute darling from Gabriel Tallent, in French because I can't read books for adultes in English yet (my english is too young ). But I advise all of you to read it, it's captivating and create images I think I will keep in my mind for a while.
It's about an (abusive) relationship between a teenager and her dad, you have to be prepare to read it, but it won't let you unmoved.

My everyday curse: I'm very quiet. Sometimes I'll meet a neighbour, I'll say "hello" once but they don't hear me. So I repeat "hello" louder, but they still don't hear me. At this point I go about my business because I feel ridiculous enough and when they finally notice me, they go "hellooo" with a tone that implies I'm very impolite for not greeting them first. But I diiiiid! I swear I'm polite!

I have less than 4 hours to pack all my stuff for a two months job. And I hate packing, I am the slowest person ever for that task. Oh God of packing, help me !

Can I share my fascination for the youtube channel Ask a mortician ?

That's informative, with a scary creepy vibe . She's so charismatic and witty and she has done a TED talk about ecology and death (with french subtitles available).

(TW sometimes there is a glimpse of corpses / mummies or remains in her videos)

@Ada or ardor : Funny, I subscribed to her channel not very long ago! Can't remember where I heard from her (probably from Jack Parker? ) but I love her videos, too! I second everything you said and I'll add she has a very soothing voice.

 

[Ada or ardor]

@Rosenrot_ : I knew you'd like her
I'm reading her book now

Hi everyone !
I'm very new in this process of talking to people I don't know online. Just wondering, how many of you do live in an english speaking country at that time ?
I assume there must be people living in France and people living abroad but maybe I didn't read enough of this thread. I'm glad righting in english make me remember some vocabulary and I think reading you will help me improving it.
About this second (like, about the topic...) : I'm coming back from my holidays in Brittany (shitty weather at that time). I was on internship before and I need to read what corrections were suggested by my supervisors for my report... I really too much procrastinate on it because I don't want to dive again in my subject...

@Amaj I live in Germany but there are some people I speak English with, or I resort to English in certain situations where I can't fully express my ideas in German.

This week-end is Heritage Days where I live, I went to visit a beautiful orthodox church in my area because I've always been intrigued to see what was inside, it's already so beautiful from the outside. Well, it's a lot smaller than I expected but still spectacular! I also wanted to visit a place with old factories turned art galleries but my legs are so sore from exercising this week, I think I'll chill at home today and I'll try to do the visit tomorrow (plus, I think the guided tours are only tomorrow).
I think Heritage Days are next week in France, has anyone planned to visit some historical gems?
