WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

[Rose640]

For me, 2 things. First, dealing with buying a home and the process of getting it ready to move in has been and is still is a thing. Also, sometimes I forget to check here. I check when I remember, so here I am with my stack of responses lol.

Congrats on the new home! I'm so happy for you.

Man, these things do grow big. This is one of 40 loofas (at last count) that's dangling behind in my back yard.

I have planted 10 plants from seeds given by a neighbour. I let the vines climbs freely. Considering the size of the fruit, it grows up to 20 inches long, I found it pretty difficult to accurately count the number of fruits.

These are actual fruits? What? Please elaborate more, I'm interested now.

Thanks. It's already alot better. The busy semester is over and now I only have 4 courses and my graduation paper to write.

Yay! Well done! How do you feel?

Honestly, it's a huge relief. I don't even have to take a written exam in one of the courses, though I need to write a nice seminar paper.

It feels like I'm just a step away from what I've been trying to achieve for the past 4 years. Hopefully I get a job I like as well, but who knows about these things.

Thank you! It’s just enough space for me and I’m sorting it out. A home that needs some work is a process.

That’s awesome! You’re so close and I hope that you’ll get a job that you like as well.

Oh yes, and my little “Creative Corner” has been evolving too! Just got the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 and basically had to rebuild the whole studio around it.

Ooh that must have been a project in itself. This is so cool though!

Luffa (or loofa) belongs to the cucumber family, and its edible as a vegetable when harvested at a young stage. But what I really want are fully ripen fruits, the inside become hard fibrous skeleton. It'll be good as a kitchen/bath sponge!!

Nice pics! Wish I could say the same, weather where I am is starting to get unbearably hot

So who here managed to get a vaccine shot?

 

[aximtreo]

One advantage of being older; have gotten both of my shots "Pfizer"

I did, 1 shot down and 1 to go soon. How about you?

1 down, 1 to go.
Pfizer is what I got at my pharmacy.

Every day you learn something new. Thanks for sharing this with us!

 

[me just saying]

I am holding off at this time. I will get it in the fall.

So far my country bought... *drum roll* ... zero shots of vaccines! Yes, you heard it right. Covax fu**** us up real hard, AstraZeneca didn't want to sell as they didn't believe we'd actually pay them and the only ones we've got are donations.

But don't be afraid, we're trying to buy 500k doses from China. I sure do want Chinese vaccine instead of Western or Russian one.

Oh yeah, and Saudi Arabia gave us 50 tons of dates ffs, as if we were still in war and in need of effing dates!
