It was cold and I rushed and when I got home I thought I had missed a blimp or a Zeppelin in the sky when I looked at the last photo on my camera SD-card.

I didn’t. It’s a leaf. Last on the camera’s SD-card.

Our grandkid’s backpack has been lying in front of this sideboard for days (tidying is no one’s favourite around here). And now it has started to sprout fur.

Last on the phone’s SD-card.

PS: I spent the last minutes of 2024 and the first hour of 2025 locked up with my husband and our cat and a bottle of bubbly in our bedroom because Henry wasn’t at all happy about the noise outside. We could eliminate the light effects by closing the shutters but couldn’t completely keep the noise outside. Henry was hiding under the bed while we were toasting the new year. And afterwards I had time to sit a the pc waiting for the youngsters to come back inside (they had gone into the nearby vineyards to shoot off their fireworks).

In German, if you say “I’m smelling something” as on the sign it means: I had enough of it.

This sign on the “Flowering Bergstraße”, a walk along the slope of the Odenwald starting about 20km north of Heidelberg and stopping just before. The QR codes on the signs tell interesting facts about this area with a rich history. This particular sign tells about the hazards of dog droppings which spoil the grown fruit crops (grapes, berries, espalier fruit) and they do – of course, smell.
