Ragtag Daily Prompt: Proximity . How come?
Coming Saturday is a public holiday in parts of Germany, the catholic parts (many of the public holidays in Gemany are traditionally based on the church calender), i.e. all shops will be closed. We live in the state of Baden-Württemberg, and so I won’t be able to go shopping here. However, having the advantage of living in close proximity to another state, i.e. the state of Hesse where All Saints is not an official holiday, I can get on my bicycle and drive less than 5km to the west or 10km to the north and and I can shop at my hearts content if I feel the need to do so.

At the entrance of the Englische Garten in Munich there is this sign. It reads: Once Elector Palatine Charles Theodore asked the strollers on a notice to not bother each other with their eternal greetings when passing each other. I don’t know if it worked.

She is getting too big
I believe her shuttle days are over.
PS: I made this post but didn’t post it. So here, a bit late. However – while looking whether I’d only duplicated the post I scrolled through my recent posts and found that many of them have photos missing. They are there, in the media library library, but they are not displayed. And I know that they were seen when I first posted them, not just by me but according to the comments that were made. I wonder if it is a problem with my theme. Or because the gremlims don’t like me.

The Facilities at the Biggest Wine Festival in the World
More than 600,000 visitors need to be catered for. What caught my eye was that the use of the toilets is 70 cents each time – but it’s possibly to book a flatrate, 5 Euro per day. By my calcutation this means you have to go the loo more than 7 times to break even.
