The thing is, I have a bunch of work stuff that absolutely has to be done by the end of the month, and having days where I make no progress at all really stresses me out. Which further hampers my ability to work, so it's something of a vicious circle. =(

Well, I've managed to get my dad's laptop up and running again, reinstalled all his software, and even remembered how to stop it from demanding a PIN or password when starting windows - they've made that really inconvenient in win11 - so yay for that. I hope it behaves from now on.

I have one of these in a large (60cm) pot in my garden and a neighbour had one planted in the ground. They don't get very large, as Lisa says, and are easy to take care off - mine just gets a fair amount of water, very occasionally some fertilizer, and trimming if I feel like it.

So their pricing is definitely set with discounts in mind, which might be good to know.

Also, this may only work if you've already registered an account and are signed in, but if you put something in your cart and don't complete the purchase you tend to get an email with some kind of discount offer within a day or two. And I got a 15% off code right after completing my order, too.

I've bought some 10-15 garments from them over as many years, and never really been disappointed. Just be careful to check garment measurements for your desired size. =)

It's quite soft and really nice to wear. Somewhat prone to pilling in areas with lots of rubbing, but that's kind of on par for most viscose fabrics as far as I know. Definitely needs to be washed separately as it bleeds a lot of dye when wet.

The purple dress is getting replaced and I don't even have to sent the old one back. =D Holyclothing really has amazing customer service, and I love the designs and super inclusive sizes of all of their clothing. And they list actual garment measurements, which is awesome. <3 Highly recommended!

Two dresses I ordered a while back arrived today, and they are both beautiful and really comfortable! Unfortunately the purple one was slightly damaged, and even though I could fix it I hope I can get the dress replaced, given what I paid for it.

Turns out I was slightly incorrect: it should apparently be a few hours after sunset, not a few hours before sunrise. Around midsummer that basically the same window of time up here, so pardon my mistake. =)

Found it! They're called noctilucent clouds or polar mesospheric clouds.

I don't remember the name of the phenomenon, but we tend to get it up here in Sweden a couple of times each summer. It happens when clouds very high up in the atmosphere are illuminated from below by sunlight a few hours before dawn.

I really need to start remembering not to eat any meals shortly before going to bed, because for some reason it seems to give me nightmares. Just woke up from one where it was dark in an unsettling way and for some reason all lights in my house and car just would not turn on, no matter what I did.

I feel like I haven't been productive at all today, but here's a reminder to my brain that I did at least: 1. Help mum set up her new watch 2. Made food for today and tomorrow 3. Did a week's worth of dishes 4. Tidied up most of my desk 5. Repotted a hydrangea and moved two angel's trumpets outside
