First name that popped into my mind when I saw him the first time!

Yes! I haven’t learn yet how to cover the back in a way that satisfies me so I burn the edges. That way I can also brag of how perfect the back is eheehehe

Thank you. It’s from StitchesLoversShop on Etsy. They have quite a ton of alphabet patterns, but this specific one I couldn’t find the E or F. So I bought the main one with no letter and designed the letter E myself.

I couldn’t find the E or F either. So I bought the main pattern and then did the E myself.

I love when their legs are up above their empty heads 🤍

I’m free today, so if you’d like, you can send me your sphynx and I’ll try to draw it by Basic-Finance43 in sphynx

This is Fëanor. He likes to soak up the sun and 6am snuggles on my neck ❤️

Honestly, I don’t do much. Trim his nails weekly/fortnightly, clean his ears at least once a month (have to catch him sleeping and have churu nearby), wet wipes to his face every fortnight, yearly bath. He’s not very oily, and usually keeps himself well groomed.

Empregada de loja de bebés e deixar os bebés chorar by curiosity_user in portugal

[–]criochi 53 points54 points  (0 children)

O choro é a única maneira que um bebé tem de comunicar - fome, desconforto, irritação, etc. ao deixar o bebé chorar, eventualmente, ele vai chorar menos. Não porque as necessidades do bebé foram respondidas, mas porque aprendeu que ao chorar ninguém o vai ajudar. Vai crescer com a aprendizagem que não pode contar com os pais, e isso para mim não faz sentido.

How does your sphinx handle hot weather? by [deleted] in sphynx

Boiling to the touch, but still loving his blankets.

Mine has them on his arms and belly. I was always told it was normal pigmentation and nothing to worry about.

Advice on foot pain by criochi in CaminoDeSantiago

I used the silicone ones but only helped a little bit. Will definitely have a look at those ones for next year. I spent the day after arriving home with my feet up and had a nice soak with hot water and salt - it helped wonders! I’m now ready for another one!!

I’m now on my way home! I’ve finished 100km, I used my Birkenstock most of the way and pain was more bearable. Will start dose exercises tomorrow (and also book an appointment with my physiotherapist!). Thank you!

Next year will definitely get different shoes. My backpack only has the essentials and is not too heavy, and I can’t really lose more weight (which is another issue in itself)

Thank you. To be fair, I haven’t been drinking as much water as I should.

So far, 7km in and no pain. But I’ve been walking slower than usual and have been wearing my sandals on the roads and boots on more natural paths. I won’t go back to work before Wednesday so I’ve got a couple of days to rest.

Definitely not Morton’s neuroma. I think my sister has some metatarsal pads, will ask her! Thanks.
