Hi everyone!
I'm knitting and crocheting a lot and have lot's of left over yarn. It's 100% merino wool mostly. I'd love to make socks, blankets and hats and donate them to someone who needs them.
I was wondering if it's a thing in Lisbon. Maybe it's forbidden to donate knitted items for babies? I'd also love to make something bigger for elderly people.
Please if you know any companies or hospitals or nursing homes who might need knitted or crocheted clothing, let me know in the comments. Any information on this topic is gonna be helpful.
Thank you in advance and stay safe!

okay so i really enjoy gardening in palia. mostly i use crops for cooking and i cook A LOT. the problem is starred crops - i have too much of them and not enough normal crops. i usually don't use fertilizer (only for weeklies) and i still get like 15 starred apples and one normal apple. and that's a problem. for example, i wanna make a smoothie bowl. i have 90 starred apples and 15 normal ones. makes sense to prepare a bowl with starred crops, right? but i also need starred piksi berries and they're not that easy to find. and that frustrates me a lot

now i mostly use starred crops for jams and pickles. great way to make some money, true. but i want food! i don't wanna feel like daaaamn i planted 5 unstarred wheat seeds and i got 10 starred crops... i wanna get unstarred crops when i plant unstarred seeds and don't use any fertilizer!

does anyone else feel the same? did i create a problem myself? do you have any advice?

i wanna thank everyone in advance, hope your pillows are always cold!

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Portugal and now learning the language. This journey is quite ok, however, I struggle with pronunciation. The most complicated part for me is the letter "r" in words. I don't understand if I should say it as a strong "r" in every position (like in word obrigado) or sometimes I should pronounce it soft like in French language. The opinions on this matter are very different, I saw that soft "r" is mostly used by elderly people. But tbh I've never heard anyone saying it in the soft way in Lisbon. At the same time I saw that hard "r" is mostly used in Brazilian Portuguese

Please help me understand what pronunciation is better for basic conversations with locals. I'm not trying to sound native in Portuguese but I also don't want people to make fun of me

Thank you in advance! Peace to everyone ❤️

Upd: I see now that there's a confusion with me saying soft and hard "r" since these definitions for Portuguese and my native language are the opposite. I finally got it. Thank you everyone for your help and advices, I hope your pillows are always cold!
