No automatic for me
As I’ve mentioned, we bough a new (used) car a couple of weeks ago. It’s a stick shift. I’ve just read that only about a quarter of new cars sold in Germany are stick shift, the trend is definitely toward automatics. Driving a stick shift … Continue reading No automatic for me
Is that a steering wheel on your lobe?
This rather large sculpture of Jürgen Goertz stands in front of the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis Hospital in Weinheim. Her earring is not the only impressive thing about her. But I’ve always been an earring woman. It’s the one piece of jewellery I never leave the house without it; in fact, I feel decidedly naked if I do forget it like once in a blue moon.

He had the blues
Many, many, MANY moons ago my husband worked in South Africa. After his first year or so he went to see his boss and asked timidly (he was young and still kind of new) for a raise.
His boss waved him over to the window in his office, pointed outside and up and asked: “What do you see?”
“Nothing? … sky … just sky … blue sky.”
“That’s it. That blue sky here in South Africa is half your salary check. You’re getting plenty of compensation for your work.”
FOWC with Fandango: Compensation

Instant reverse diet
And – to round (sic!) this off – a kiss from a albino giant gurami. I found the common names of white salmon fish or aptly named, white sucking fish. The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Distortion Isn’t this a case for double dipping with FOWC with … Continue reading Instant reverse diet
