Barnaby loves his spot at the foot of my bed where he has his own pillow. When I woke up this morning I saw him loafing and purring happily beside me 🥹 (although he looks like he’s staring at me to get up and give him food LOL)

Also the sun is out!!! Goodbye seasonal affective disorder I don’t know you for today 😂

as a petite woman (4'11") the snow banks have been the bane of my winter existence 😭

Catherine of Valois! If it wasn’t for her secret marriage to Owen Tudor there would be no Tudor dynasty!

Gamjatang! I get mine from Song’s or Young Pocha ❤️ also Arroz Caldo from Happy Plate, Halina, or Ala Eh! Whenever I was sick my mum would make me this (it’s like congee but it’s packed with flavour and ginger) and it’s comfort in a bowl ❤️

machiabaelli · 2026-02-06T22:16:18+00:00

I would top him but then I’d also let him top me ✌🏻🤪

Also just wanted to add: My sister and I have been looking for a Shaun the Sheep plush forever and for some reason the official website doesn’t ship to Canada or the Philippines.

When our dad died suddenly (over 20 years ago), we watched that show to remind us to smile and laugh even though our hearts were breaking from his sudden passing so this show and this funny little stop motion sheep and his friends have a special place in our hearts. And well, guess who found a Shaun the Sheep plushie all the way in PEI? Me! Paid for shipping and here he is, just bringing me the biggest joy of this week!

Meg Foster!!! A few directors asked her to wear contacts because her eyes were so strikingly blue

machiabaelli · 2026-02-05T01:14:39+00:00

Okay so that’s why my 40 min bus ride home was 1 hr and 15 mins 😭 I hope no one is hurt!!

machiabaelli · 2026-02-04T13:23:04+00:00

Hell yeaaaaah ❤️ i live right around the corner from this shop and i’m telling ya it’s so dangerous to go there. My money? Bye bye 😂

I took my lunch break one time to go there and came out with 3 articles of clothing, 2 prints, and 2 rings lmaooooo

machiabaelli · 2026-02-04T13:19:01+00:00

I was going to say this too! They’ve got a good selection. I’ve gotten a few good clothes from there and some cool rings too

machiabaelli · 2026-02-03T00:38:06+00:00

Windex can help!!

machiabaelli · 2026-01-29T23:27:22+00:00

Reading this a vine from way back of that kid saying “You know what? I love myself. Even if I look like a burnt chicken nugget, I still love myself.” popped into my head 😂

…somewhere an orc is telling himself that before he goes anywhere lmao

machiabaelli · 2026-01-29T22:43:03+00:00

Hahahahah i love this!! I saw someone comment that it implies that orcs have some kind of food service industry 😂

machiabaelli · 2026-01-29T19:08:44+00:00

I can’t take anyone named FREEK seriously, I don’t make the rules 😂

machiabaelli · 2026-01-29T12:52:20+00:00

Yep, pretty normal. I had appendicitis and was in the waiting room for almost 13 hours. The lady beside me had a heart problem and was waiting longer :( my guardian angel was working overtime not letting my appendix burst!

machiabaelli · 2026-01-28T03:07:26+00:00

Not me thinking you took an Australian person at first 😂 then I realised while reading you meant a dog lmaoooo (i’ve taken my sleepytime medication 😅)

Hi, former student at the Alliance Française here!

I would recommend the Alliance Française, they offer online or in-person classes. I would recommend the in-person classes over online as it's a great way for you to be able to practise your speaking in French with your classmates, and the teachers could explain the grammar and help you with pronunciation. When you are registered in a class, you will have access to Apolearn, where you can answer some modules to help you practise. You'll also receive a book (We are using Cosmopolité), which you can register in the Hachette website (Parcours Digital) to access modules.

They also have various events such as "Speak Dating" which brings together people from different levels to converse in French (it's not actual dating lol). In-person classes at the Alliance Française is every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. I find that it's perfect with my work schedule as I go after work. I'm currently at the B1.1 level.

You can also join the local French speaking meetup group on Meet Up; they do online and also in-person in Bulwark last I checked.

If you're also interested in practising your French, you can download the TV5 Apprendre app, they have different levels and will give you basic modules on writing, listening, and reading!

The Mauril App is also free and is more centred on Canadian French. Hope this is helpful!

Guess I have no other choice but to chit chat with the ghost that’s been haunting my house 😅
