Wool Snuggery

· Leave a comment ·

Wool, of course, is Wolle in German. Which, considering my surname, leaves me spoilt for choice. Here is wool basket and a wool snuggery. “Wool chamber” and “wool parlour” didn’t sound good so I turned to a dictionary for inspiration – I think that our living room will be called “snuggery” from now on.

Places of Remembrance

This is the war grave memorial in Modautal. There are other cemeteries in Europe with graves from soldiers and civilians of many nations of the two world wars in the 20th century to remember these victims. They should be memorials not so much of “lest we forget” but rather of “never again”. Sadly, it hasn’t worked.

Late Last Photo in January 2022

When I prepared my “Last on the Card” post for February, I realised that I had two photos prepared for January but I never posted them. So here they are:

Last on the camera SD card.

Last on the phone SC card.  
Brian's rules: no editing, no explanations. 
No editing done. No explanation given.

Odd a Lot

It’s Shrove Monday or Rose Monday in areas where they celebrate carnival. It’s another odd carnival year, thanks to – dare I mention it – COVID – with few if any public happenings.

But I couldn’t let the occasion pass without at least one costume. We all had a blast a few years back with this odd costume. The dinosaur was hilarious – it kept losing air and the girl inside kept tumbling over because her sight was limited. It was a lot of fun if a bit odd, or rather, a lot.

To top it all, the photo itself is an exception to my month of oddities. It is the only photo that I had prepared in advance and not waited for other contributions to inspire me.

Thanks to Becky once again for having the idea and hosting. It’s been fun as well as odd.
