@codl it's a really neat piece

it's filled with oil that has the same refractive index as the crystal so it doesn't look like you're looking through the crystal at the dial, it looks like the dial is projected right to the top of the crystal

here are a couple of pictures that really show that off

also, something for @noelle , the Bvlgari Serpenti Misteriosi Romani

you lift up the little snek's head and there's a watch under there!

@mavica gonna have to get you a "world's best boss" mug

@mavica hi mavi!

poor Reggie's got an ear infection so we're going to have to clean his ear out every day while they run the tests to figure out which particular brand of beastie to give him antibiotics for

he's probably not going to enjoy us doing that but we do always bribe him with milk so he doesn't mind too much

@mavica hey mavi *offers all the hugs, also tea*

I've been informed that yelling "WHEEEYYYY!!" any time a waiter/barman/etc. drops a glass on the floor, thus smashing it, is not a universal response

What do you lot in other countries do?

@mavica get thee up the grocery shop missy!

@autistikai yeah, doesn't seem ideal

hell, it put me as an eco-anarchist when my view on environmental issues is just "hey, try to make a small effort to not fuck things up much more" rather than anything more strongly put
