What Is a Library without readers?

The town library of Ladenburg is a fine building in its own right. But I mainly like it because of the sculpture in front: a woman comfortably draped over the wall, engrossed in a book. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Libraries and bookstores

Private? Or stupid tired?

· 4 Comments ·

Quick question:

Fan’s site said it was private this morning and I could submit my email to be allowed.

Does anybody see that? — Because last night, I was tired and tried to get to bed quickly and accidentally blocked a site, I thought it was Ragtag but that is fine this morning, so if I have done this to Fan than it’s just me and I have to try to undo it.

Disclaimer: No alcohol was involved in this action as our grandson is visiting. It was the aftermath of spending a day in a “Erlebnisbad”, i.e. a pool with slides and whatnots.

PS: I’ve since heard from Fan. He is taking time out from blogging for various reasons. I hope takes care of himself and will be back one day. I miss him already.

Abtei Neuburg

· 2 Comments ·

The emblem of Abtei Neuburg near Heidelberg is the letter N with a crozier. First established in the 12th century as a Benedictine monastry for monks, soon changed to be a convent for nuns, was a Cistercian abbey for a while, housed Jesuits and later Lazarists, was sold to worldly owners in the early 19th century, became a literary and philosophical meeting place until it was sold back to the Benedictine order in 1926 which once again established a Bendedictine monastry which still exists today – with less than 10 monks as permanent residents.
