On 3 October 2015, we were in attendance when South Africa played Scotland in St James’ Park in Newcastle during the group matches for the Rugby Wold Cup 2015.  We were high up in the stands and I had a new camera with me:

Since Nancy decided to show football, I thought I add some rugby action for A Photo a Week Challenge: movement.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
– Confucius

He may look like the Cowardly Lion but he put his whole heart in the half-marathon and in his running gear.

These rules rule!

We are often faced with rules – usually negative ones, forbidding something.  Many non-German speakers know one German expression: Verboten! (Forbidden!). It doesn’t matter that they are  often for our own good, like this one:

65 rules 3

saying: Cross the road, it’s dangerous on this side!  They still prohibit something.

Children are more often faced with explicit rules.  This rule, though, is my all time favourite:

Spielen erwünscht

Playing welcome! Children and adults are allowed to laugh and romp around.   

In Munich I came across this sign:

nur mit Kindern

Playground for under 16s – Entry for adults only allowed if accompanied by children.  

Therefore there is one rule I try to follow (not always but often):
