A Roman Foundation
This is the fundament of the Haselburg near Höchst im Odenwald. For years, the locals took stones for their own houses from this ancient Roman villa. The realisation that it was in fact an ancient site dating back to the 2nd century C.E. came relatively … Continue reading A Roman Foundation
And that’s how the Knees Were Busted
That’s my husband all those year’s ago, running one of the marathons in South Africa which he used to do then.

Before I Got the Hearing Aid
Oh, you said “staunch”. 🤔
Well, the photo might still work for Fan’s prompt today: it definitely is an executive paunch.
Double protrude for The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Staunch and FOWC with Fandango: Executive

The Issue
is often not whether to disclose the information, but how. When Peter told Jack about Dick’s infidelity his world flipped upside down in an instant. FOWC with Fandango: Disclose
She Almost Lost Her Head
I received this doll as a present from my sister when she lived in the US, I must have been 15 or thereabouts. She carried a baby on her back. Her male counterpart still has his head but like the baby his backpack made of a piece of fleece is gone.

The Shortcomings of DEATH
“Death grinned because, as has so often been remarked, he didn’t have much option.”

The poor sod can’t even smirk.

Football Stickers
Streetlamp posts here often have stickers as have electricity distribution boxes and cigarette vending machines. Many are of various football clubs and they are often really ugly in content, wording, and art. Mainly because they are not in support of the creator’s own club but against the “enemy”, their favourite club to hate.
However, I saw one sticker which I wholeheartedly support because it expresses my disdain for football, national and even more so international football.
“Against modern football!”
I have nothing but scorn for modern football – the amount of money that is involved is immoral, the functionaries are corrupt (probably not all but it has been shown again and again). My last straw was the awarding of the FIFA world cup to Saudi Arabia (Qatar in 2022 was already disgusting: the handing the games to the emirate for lots of money, the questionable selection procedure (which might or might not have involved bribery), the building of new stadiums which was accompanied by what can be described as modern day slavery and totally unacceptable conditions for the workers, the ecologically undefensible air conditioning of whole stadiums – I could go on). When we lived in Saudi we used to make fun of Saudi Arabia’s attempt to get the Olympics into the country, an attempt which was abandoned when they heard that they would have to allow female athletes and female spectators. I don’t know how FIFA will resolve the audience issue – I don’t care. I have stopped watching the sport. My husband still watches, I usually leave him to it but I have nothing but contempt for this sport now.
Now that was a rant and a half.
