This Forest Is Unpredictable
I was really puzzled by this notice I came across in a piece of wood in the Palatium:
Careful! Wood!
These trees are actually woodland.
Enter at your own risk.
Branches might fall down and trees might fall over.
Please stay out on windy days.
Don’t stand underneath the trees and do not park there.
Town of Otterberg, Forestry Office Rhineland-Palatium
I’ve learned that forests are unpredictable. As are public notices in the Palatium.

A Vivid Promise
“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”
Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

Proof of a Little Folly
I’ve just come home from the post office. Two months ago I ordered a little trinket (a stand for my glasses). Nothing major. I realised it was coming from overseas because it was supposed to take a couple of weeks to arrive. No biggy. The couple of weeks stretched to a couple of months but as I didn’t really need the watchamacallit – no biggy. Then we weren’t home when the parcel, or rather parcelet, arrived and the mailman left a card. It took me a full week to collect it – because I had to go to a different post office I normally go to, one which has opening hours which don’t correspond with my working hours, and to top it all there is a huge building site with roads torn up and strange one-way streets for the duration.
Anyway, I collected it today. And nobody told me before that I had to pay customs on the item. 1.68 € (not much overall but on a purchase price of 9.00 € …). Anyway, that was customs. Add to that 6.00 € “delivery flat-rate”, which I’ve never had to pay before.
So now I have a receipt for a silly purchase which taught me the lesson of not ordering something like that ever again.

Size Doesn’t Matter
Quite a few years ago, I happen to come across a website that “simpsonized” photos. So here we are: ready to take the stage, or rather tv.
I didn’t physically embiggen any of us. In fact, we went from 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional. Yet – it embiggened our perception of us. We saw each other in a different light and that added to us, it didn’t take away. And of course: Simpsons.
