Thinking... glad that thunderstorm has passed! It was the worst one I've ever experienced in my entire life :(

Feeling... sleepy & content.
Done a lot of painting today and for now the stinking heat has gone, although it's still warm indoors.
But it's been a good day :)

Thinking... my poor cats! They don't know what to do with themselves with this stinking heat...

Feeling... hot! It's 29C but feeling temp is above 30C. It's tropically hot.

Indoors it's 27C which is cooler compared to outdoors :/

The extension is 33C so I'm keeping the door to it closed for now. Sun is going to be on its poorly insulated flat roof until it goes down.

The one thing that is great is wearing shorts & singlet again but this hot is too much to be pleasant!

Feeling... happy that I've finally made up my mind about what I'm going to paint!
I already made the sketch, put 2 layers of primer on the canvas so I can get on with it whenever I want :)
Prolly this afternoon.

Another good movie, with Antonio Banderas


Nobody
Also a good movie.

I've seen all these movies before but they're good enough to watch again every now and then.
Especially when there's nothing new out that's good.

Survivor - 2015
Really good movie with Pierce Brosnan and Mila Jovovich and Dylan McDermott.

A foreign service officer teams up with her colleague in order to prove her innocence while also trying to simultaneously thwart a terrorist attack.

Black and Blue
Really good movie!

Witnessing her colleagues killing a drug dealer lands police officer Alicia West into trouble. Falsely accused of the crime, she now has to fight both the corrupt police and angry gangsters.

Thinking... nice weather, a good day to chill. Might start working on a new painting, but no hard work in the garden today!
My poor back needs a break :)

Hard to message someone who's deactivated.

Unless something has changed over the years the site says 'deactivated' when you log out.
Doesn't mean the person is gone and stays gone. Just logged out.

I watched Moonfall last night.

Oh, I also watched Elevation.

Both good movies.

You posting click bait posts now?
What's with the survey?

As for me, I don't want to meet men here which I clearly state in my profile.
Since I'm Dutch I'm looking for a man & love on Dutch dating sites.

Feeling... content! Done a lot today.
Logged into my Vinted account and put a number of items up for sale.
Lots more to be uploaded but I need to take photos first.
And I did some work in the garden again with the strimmer.

Thank you, Ben!
People blame too much on smoking. I smoke. Have always looked much younger though.
I think it's more your genes, general health including whether you have a positive or negative outlook on life.

I can't see why messaging on whatsapp or any other app would make messaging any more comfortable or natural, or make the conversation "flow better".

I do, but then I actually use WhatsApp on a daily basis, like everyone else over here. Even my mother of 83. It's as normal to have and use as a phone.

It's more personal, you chat 1 on 1, although you can also have group chats, you can send photos with ease, take a photo & send it right away, or do face calls, send voice messages etc.
It's like making a phone call. You can actually make a phone call via WhatsApp as well.

And with that it's entirely different from a dating site.
But since it's more personal -to me anyways- I don't add anyone to it just like that. It's family and friends and if I have a partner, him too of course.

Maybe that's why scammers try to get you to it? --> Emotionally, you feel more comfortable and are more open. As a result, you can also fall for things more easily.

Sounds good to me, Sir!

I'm enjoying a cup of coffee, indoors though, after working hard in the garden.

Feeling... happy about ordering new canvases. I'm out of my fave size, only 1 larger one left.
I ordered 6 now, normally 3. At least 6 will sort me out for approx. the rest of the year :)
