Surviving in Montenegro
Whoever told me there were fresh and tasty vegetables and fruits for a fair price in Montenegro - that was a complete lie. At least here in Budva. Everything is either far from fresh or just tasteless. Or it costs as much as a ticket to the Louvre. And in the last few days, we've had an invasion of ladybugs that seem to really like the ceiling.
Kate MorleyListen, it’s very simple: In Britain we use the metric system, except for beer and milk, which come in pints. But not plant milk — that comes in litres.
Oh, and distances are in miles. But only if they’re too far to walk — if you can walk it it’s in metres. If you’re driving then your fuel efficiency is in miles-per-gallon, but petrol is sold in litres.
Oh, and your height is in feet and inches. If you don’t care much about your weight it’s in stone (but not pounds — no-one can remember how many pounds are in a stone and it’s hard to read the little tick marks on analogue scales). If you do care about your weight then your digital scales tell you it in kilograms.
Oh, and if there’s a heatwave then tabloids will forecast a “100°F scorcher”. But if it’s cold then it’s an “arctic blast” with “widespread temperatures below 0°C”.
I hope this clears things up.
Do people still create websites on WP in 2025?
Me, several months ago: I don't have much free time, but I want to create a website for posts and photos. And I need it to be done professionally, which is why I need to learn Django, Jinja, MySQL or PostgreSQL, and I'm pretty sure there was something else besides the basic web stack. And of course, I need to design the whole thing myself.
Also me: Found free hosting, made a website on WP with a neat minimalistic theme in one day. And I've never been happier c:

AI6YR BenHead's up, the "you must confirm your profile" scam is proliferating on the Fediverse. I wonder if they are trying to gather driver's licenses and credit card numbers? It's a scam.

Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?
There’s an official parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, and it’s already at 13,000 signatures and growing: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
(Not UK? Please spread the word!)
