I passed a suburban lake the other day and was amazed to see such a large fish (at least 50 cm, I would guess) swimming close to the shore in fairly shallow water. I took a picture even though I wasn’t convinced I would be … Continue reading Perch

Clear Rules Make Good Customers
This is a leftover from yesterday’s post. The tone of all those notices is very cordial. They hang on the entrance to a kiosk area which can be accessed from the lake, a gated swimming area, or just from the street if you don’t want to swim but just buy a snack or a drink.
The black sign reads: Thank you so much for understanding. Your kiosk team.
The turquoise sign reads: No entry to the lake. Please use the official gate.
The white sign reads: Please park your e-bikes and bicycles outside. Please use our official bike stands. Or talk to us about alternatives.
The yellow sign reads: No cannabis at the kiosk. Consumption in the presence of minors and in view of playgrounds is still forbidden.
The pink sign reads: Dogs are very welcome! But please keep them on a leash.

Blue Skies
I’m singing with Ella Fitzgerald:
Blue skies smiling at me.
Nothing but blue skies do I see.
