Anoia!
The discworld, as created by Terry Pratchett, is populated by many different gods. One of the minor goddesses is Anoia, the Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers. Anoia is praised by rattling a drawer and crying “How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it? Who bought this? Do we ever use it?”
In our household, we praise her often. More information can be found in Pratchett’s books. Or read about her in the lspace wiki which is a site dedicated to all things discworld.
Grey Herons Are really Black and White and Grey
Grey herons for Live in Colour in November
Lest We Forget
A poignant trio this Thursday. These stolpersteine (literally: stumbling stones) can be found in front of apartment or business houses were people used to live before they were deported and killed by the Nazi regime. I came upon these particular three in a town to the south of ours, as part of a remembrance campaign on 9 November, 83 years after the November pogroms in Germany. The English Wikipedia still calls it “Kristallnacht” (or “night of broken glass”), a term no longer used in Germany as it is considered a euphemism that does not do justice to the events.
Nevertheless, if you are interested in stolpersteine wikipedia is a good start to get information.
Coffee anyone?
I am not a foodstagrammer (if that is really the word) but I can offer something to drink. This coffee is made Sudanese style, in the middle of a German living room.
