Thinking... gonna be another warm day, pfff... Heat already got indoors.
Since this heatwave is going to last more than a week it'll be a while before it cools off again inside.

I'd been looking forward to summer but this is just too much! But better than rain and overcast, hihi.

Thinking it's been another nice day :)
Some painting, easy but nice meal, phone call with my mum, pruned the roses when almost dark, watched a nice series and now it's time to go to bed.

Half past 1... Good night!

Stay Close
Mini series based on a Harlan Coben novel.

This one is quite good. At first I almost switched it off as I didn't find it immediately captivating. But it got real good and the ending was a shocker. I did not see that coming!
And then there was another li'l surprise after that...

Definitely recommend this one!
I'm giving it a rating of 9.

Missing You 2025
Another mini series based on a Harlan Coben novel.

So far I find this the best. It only has 5 episodes which I find a plus as at least the soapy stuff doesn't get dragged out too much.

The only thing that left me a bit narked was the ending. It's not quite an open ending, or is it?
I would've preferred a wee bit more so I'm not left with that question.

But all things considered this one's worth the watch!

Run Away
Another series based on a Harlan Coben novel just like "I Will Find You".

It's okay but with a lot of twists and turns and drama.

To be honest, I think these Harlan Coben based mini series would be better to read than to watch.
They're basically soap-opera mini series that revolve around a murder.

Still an okay watch but I prefer a series to be a bit more realistic.

Thinking... where did that topic go?? Dammit, I felt it was truly interesting!

Feeling... chuffed the cleaning is done again, grocery shopping out of the way, cats been fed, now it's about time to have my own dinner :)

We're headed for another heatwave, bleehh...
I was happy to finally have normal summer weather with temps of 24C-25C.
Really not looking forward to a heatwave, back to sleeping in bedroom that turns into a sauna when it's hot etc.

Feeling... happy that I finally got Nila indoors!! It's half past 1 and I'm about to go to bed and she still hadn't come in. I don't like having my cats outdoors at night.
So I can sleep peacefully now!
Goodnight :)

That didn't end well for Canada...
Major bummer, Slim!

Totally overcast this evening but not a drop of rain expected here.
So I water some of my plants as it's been dry for days and no rain forecast for at least a week.

My roses needed water! And my cornflowers, poppies, chamomile etc. as well.

Glad I got that over with!

Hijack - 2023 season 1 / 2026 season 2
IMDb rating 7,3
I think it deserves a 9. Although I can't rate 2nd season yet...

With Idris Elba.

Season 2 was dropped earlier this year but I decided to rewatch season 1 first as I couldn't remember anything much about it.

Just started 2nd season now.

Witness - 1985
With Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.

It was quite nice watching this again!
Just that I recalled it ending differently. I suppose being a sucker for happy endings makes you remember things in a way they weren't?

Vanessa van Edwards, a behaviorial researcher, talked about using AI to find out if you're more competent or warm.
You can have it check your dating site profile but also do the same with important emails you wrote for your business.

That gave me the idea to do the following:
I had pulled 3 Tarot cards that represented me. I asked AI a question based on those cards and the info was spot on.

I also asked what kind of man would be a perfect match for me based on those cards.
The reply was exactly what I'm looking for, what I need in a man.

Couple days later it dawned on me I could also ask AI to write a profile text for a dating site based on those Tarot cards.
The profile it came up with was great!
It said it could also make it more playful, I asked it to do that, and wow!!

The good thing of this is that AI doesn't add ego things into the mix so in that sense it becomes a much cleaner profile text.
And it has easy access to a ton of info so if you tell it to write it so it is appealing to men it knows how to phrase things.

If you want to do that as well you do have to 'feed' it core qualities and stuff about who you are deep down.
The better and more accurate that info is, the better the outcome.

Feeling... hot after doing some heavier work in the garden, phew!
Pulled a ton of grass & weed out by hand as it was too tall and partly too flat to use the strimmer.
And can't use the grass cutting tool -which is much easier- when my cat Nila is outdoors as she then thinks it's playtime! She tends to jump right on top of it so too risky to use.

Ah, 1PM ET is 19.00 here (7PM) so that is certainly a good time to watch it :)
Hopefully the heat is going to be bearable. Certainly won't help... They didn't really choose great places to play, did they?!

Feeling... happy all my 3 cats are indoors again for the night :D
Little Meggie was the last one just now :)

This is my new painting "Where We Belong".
Finished it this afternoon :D
And I'm very happy with it!
No horse this time, I felt like doing a romantic scene. And somehow it also called for another cowboy.

40x50cm acrylics.

Indeed sad we're out :( Certainly on penalties. I never like that however thrilling it may be to watch.

Good you're still in the game!
If the match is at a doable time for me I may watch it :)
Personally I don't see why you wouldn't/couldn't win from Morocco.
Everyone was yapping how much better and stronger their team was compared to the Dutch. And yet they couldn't win by making it 2-1, had to rely on penalties for that. (I always regard penalties a bit as pot luck, hihi)
Then me's thinking, "Not so much stronger then, huh?!"

USA GOV site says the exact thing GRB says:
6 branches and the marines & navy are separate branches.

One would think the US government itself knows its own military setup

Second point... why is everyone calling the male OP 'beautiful'?
