Picture windows
I found these covered-up windows in Wiesbaden-Biebrich. They look so very art nouveau and although only put in later it almost certainly correlates with the age of the building.

Kala namak
Kala namak is one of the Indian names of Indian black salt, the inspiration for today’s Värikollaasit:

Flaring with flair
Sir Gadabout has flair but Zog the dragon has got THE FLARE!
When Axel Scheffler visited Weinheim for the unveiling of a statue of the Gruffalo, the creature he created to illustrate Julia Donaldson’s text, he also introduced Zog the dragon, part of the air ambulance team in their newest children’s book series.

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.
