Mannheim, the Springfield of Germany
The other day I came across this barber shop in Mannheim. There was
Homer and Marge
Lisa and Maggie
and Homer and Marge again:
But where was Bart? I kept looking. And then … can it be?! Is one of them grown-up Bart?
Urban Street
And that’s what urban streets do to your shoes, even pointy ones.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Pointy Shoes
What else to Do in this Heat?
Johnny is the neighbour’s cat. He and our cat Henry are not on good terms, in four years they’ve learned to tolerate each other. But Johnny keeps sneaking in our house and eating Henry’s dry food. Because he is not supposed to (he is on a special diet) we shoo him away when we comes by. Hence Johnny is wary of us and usually leaves when he sees us. Not so at the moment. He lies under the shrubs in the garden and the most he does is open one eye when we come close to him.

The German Post is Yellow
Jude has posted about British postboxes in what we would call “fire station red”. German postboxes are typically yellow but evidently that was not always the case. I found these blue ones in Michelstadt and in Schwetzingen respectively, both date back to the late 19th century. The one in Michelstadt is still in use but I don’t know about the one from Schwetzingen. Both date back to the late 19th century.
Check out Jude’s post Rare Post Boxes for red postboxes and interesting facts about them.
Weschnitz Waterfall
The Weschnitz is a smallish river that flows from the Odenwald to the Rhine over a distance of less than 60km. It is believed that it was named after a Celtic and Gallo-Roman river god called Visucius.
The waterfall near Mörlenbach is not a large one but it makes for a good stop on a cycling tour.
