Boots displayed in a shop.
Boots displayed on feet.
Boots sold and repaired here.
And what would a post about boots be without the most famous connoisseur of this particular style of footwear: Puss in Boots.

Let us eat cake!
Contrary to what my weight suggests it’s not so much the food that comforts me as the company while preparing and eating.
This was our grandson’s attempt at baking with a train cake mould and then decorating it with prepacked food colouring, blue sprinkles, pine nuts and peppermint sweets.
It might not reach the highest standard of confectionery baking – but, hey! we liked it!

My desk is not German at all
Germans are said to be very methodical, orderly and tidy.
A German proverb goes: Ordnung muss sein. Literally: Order must prevail. Or closer to an English proverb (and possibly describing cultural differences): Orderliness (or tidiness) is next to godliness.
I, on the other hand, live according to another saying:
Tidy people are just too lazy to look for things.

Corona is stupid
During the first weeks of the corona lockdown, some children started a snake made of large painted pebbles. By now the line has grown to over 400 pebbles. And I wholeheartedly concur with the message on some of them – Corona is stupid!

Yesterday came geometry
Very basic geometric shapes – square, circle, triangle.
And up this radio tower (with inverted colours) you can find the same basics: square, circle, triangles.
Geometry in fashion: Argyle socks.
And finally, making patterns in a completely different medium.

I’m a fan of hares
This hare was far away in the fields last week and as I was trying to get a photo of it a man approached me and asked – quite suspiciously, I thought – what I was shooting. It took him a bit to see the hare and we both came very close to violating physical distance rules because I wanted to let him look through my camera. Of course, the hare who had been munching happily on the green stalks took its chance and disappeared.
I seem to have a knack to catch hares from the rear.
This one did its best to hide, keeping low in the grass.
But when it realised that the game was up, it upped and disappeared in the woods.
And the same story last year, when the grass was already higher.
