Good news! I managed to find the last dandelions of the season :) I really thought I'd missed the window to harvest them this year; it's usually a late-April activity for me but it rained so much in the past couple of months, it just ruined my flower-harvest schedule.

The only dandelions left where I live are all in their wish-granting puffball phase, but I thought I'd try my luck at higher elevations—yesterday I called a neighbour who lives 150 metres higher, it went something like "Hello I would like to inquire about your dandelions and what stage of their life cycle they have reached." Neighbour told me if I hadn't introduced myself first she would have assumed I was a salesperson cold-calling to pitch a product ("You sounded so professional.") But she confirmed that she saw a few still-yellow dandelions during her last walk! Pandolf and I were immediately on our way.

Neighbour also told me that the cows were out in one of the pastures I was about to cross, but I didn't tell Pan, it was a surprise. He was so happy! Look at him bouncing his way towards them:

I was ready to call him back if the cows looked nervous, but instead more cows arrived to meet this visitor, to Pandolf's extreme delight (I had to call him twice before he deigned to stop greeting cows and join me on my dandelion search.)

Usually I just sit in a pasture covered with thousands of dandelions and I barely have to move to fill my basket, but in late May the harvestable dandelions are few and far between, so I had to walk long distances to find a couple here, a couple there—and I had to really inspect the tall grass, where they are much better-hidden than in April grass.

And guess what else I found in the tall grass?

A lion!

Worse! it's Texas :) I guess he is officially a recurring character. (Here's Texas' memorable introduction, for those who missed it.)

He makes Pandolf look small and scrawny!

I went to say hello to his owner but she wasn't home, so we returned to our dandelion field, followed closely by a suspicious Texas.

Sure, I'd scritched his ears and it was nice, but he's a diligent guard dog and unlike Pandolf he doesn't think friendly ear-scratching and malicious intent are two circles that can't overlap. But once I showed him my harvest he lost interest in us. Catching dandelion thieves is not in his job description.

Another animal I had to negotiate with were pollinators, who were clinging to the last few dandelions even though there were other wildflowers for them to feed from. They probably thought I was being similarly unreasonable with my single-minded focus.

I also found an adorable tiny spider in my harvest—she was dandelion-yellow and perfectly camouflaged to hunt insects in there! Here she is giving me a tiny spider high-five (or maybe angrily shaking her fist at me as I deprived her of this ideal hunting ground)

I let the llamas out to eat the weeds in my (still not planted) vegetable garden, like last week, as I started the long and meticulous process of destemming 400 dandelion flowers one by one. It started raining at some point but I had to stay outside to keep an eye on Pampe—it wasn't cold at all, and after the initial "oh no! rain" reaction, it started feeling pretty nice and meditative, sitting outside in the soft spring rain with the animals while preparing flowers.

I proudly told my mother that despite being one month late I managed to make 5 jars of dandelion honey just like last year, and she complained about shrinkflation seeing as I used significantly smaller jars than last year. I'm sorry but that's just called making clever use of packaging to meet unreasonable customer expectations in difficult times. Plus, I used 1 more lemon than usual in my recipe, so what this product lost in quantity it gained in quality. ("That's what they all say," she tutted)

(If my hen looks grumpy it's because she was sheltering from the rain under the table and I unceremoniously caught her and dropped her on top of it to enliven my photo. Not only did she get wet but she felt used, like a mere prop. She's back in her sheltered spot and it's been over 10min but you can still hear muffled resentful clucks when you walk past the table.)

Y a des comptes de fachos (Damien Rieu et Français de souche) qui veulent faire passer Copé pour un "islamodroitiste" (comprendre : islamogauchiste mais pour la droite) parce qu'il a dit "Bonne fête de l'Aïd !" à Meaux et d'une part, ça prouve que les gens qui votent RN en se disant "moi je suis un "bon" musulman/juif/immigré, ils vont rien me faire" ont tort, d'autre part, absolument hilarant que les fachos choisissent COPÉ comme figure de "l'islamodroitisme", j'aimerais remonter dans le temps et lui dire ça vers 2011/2012.

I was thinking about which episode I'd consider to be my fave but they are all so amazing ???

I can't even choose 5 of them.

Like I could choose 5 scenes in each episode since there are so many amazing ones.

And the opening and ending scenes are so wisely chosen.

So let's just focus on the ending scenes.

My favourites have to be the ones from episodes 1, 2, 3, 8, and 18.

They're just so amazing, literal chills every time. I am not able to count the number of times I've rewatched them. Everything about them is perfection.

And as I'm writing this I wonder how can I forget episodes 13, 16, 17 and 19 ??

Then I'm thinking : wait, how can I rank (or at least try to) my favourite ending scenes without including episode 20 ??

And just like that half of the episodes are already there 💀💀(and honestly I could also fit the other half)

Not my fault tho if there are so many amazing scenes 🏃🏾‍♀️

Je ne sais pas qui est le connard qui s'est dit que c'était parfaitement legit d'avoir un hôtel, en l'an 2023, avec des toilettes sur le pallier, mais si je le trouve, je le défonce.

À la limite proposer une sous prestation ça se tente avec un sous prix, mais à 60 euros la nuit, c'est inacceptable.

(et bien sûr c'était pas indiqué sur le site, bla bla bla on a du wifi et des couettes super douces- on a jamais dit qu'on avait des toilettes !)

Je ne sais même pas si faire un signalement à la dgccrf servira à quelque chose, ça se trouve c'est autorisé, mais merde quoi.

Bonjour,

je cherche le post où tu avais partagé plusieurs liens de sites qui vendent des livres d'occasion... je ne le retrouve pas :'(

Les deux sites d'achat de livres d'occasion que j'utilise régulièrement sont Momox et Recyclivre !

Leurs livres sont de bonne qualité (en fonction de l'état du livre indiqué sur le site), généralement abordables (j'ai l'impression que Recyclivre a des petits bugs de tarification parfois, ce qui donne des bouquins de droit périmés à 100 euros ou des trucs dans le genre) et ils livrent vite (donc aucune raison de passer par Amazon, qui ne fait que revendre des bouquins d'occasion qui viennent de Momox ou Recyclivre entre autres) !

French 00s rap and RnB really was like "and then I'm gonna drop the saddest lyrics you've heard" and our fourteen selves went "You can't understand mom it has dEeP mEAniNg" and we were right the whole time.
