It’s a Mess

The October fair in Mannheim is called the “Mannheimer Mess” (“Messe” or “Mess” in the local dialect just means fair). The fair at night time was very VERY colourful but I actually enjoyed taking the colour out. Monochrome Madness

When It Should Be but Isn’t Really

Ephemera, that is.

We purchased these tickets almost two years ago. My husband and I really enjoy the skits of Foil Arms and Hogg so very soon after having seen them in Frankfurt in late 2024 I purchased the tickets for February 2025 for their new show. I commented that I hoped that we still remembered the date almost 12 months later as we were not getting any younger. January this year came and anticipation grew. Less than a week before the show was cancelled and we received the option of either getting our money back or getting tickets to their next show in Frankfurt. We opted for the next show. It’s planned for late February 2026.

I had hoped to throw the tickets away after a funny and rewarding night out. I’m still holding on to them. Maybe they will be part of the inheritance to our sons in years to come.
