We like to sing!

The seal of approval by the German choir association awarded to nursery schools which excel in music education. It reads: We like to sing!

A verse of a well-known and well-liked children’s song, sung by children waiting for St Nicolas:

  • Let us all be cheery and bright
  • And look forward to Nicolas’ night.
  • Merrily, merrily, ding ding dong!
  • It’s Nicolas evening before too before long.

The verse is part of a mural on the side of the Hornbacher Steinhäusel in a village in the Odenwald. The rest of the description reads:

“- and those who don’t know any better and don’t believe it should come with us to the Krähberg, to the proper Steinhäusel, to experience St Nicolas’ evening with the village youths, which is happening every year.”

Inside my home, inside my bed

In Henry’s defense I have to say that he would never go under the cover on his own volition. Our grandson wanted to play hospital with him. And Henry obliged.

Henry prefers his own beds (sic!) on normal days. This box is his favourite, and I am glad he likes letters.

It’s an uphill battle

One of our running groups trails last year. If you are wondering why there are different people going up to people coming up it’s because I was somewhere in the middle. I could take shots of the front runners from below and of the stragglers from above. And the victorious four where in the middle.

Studies in grey

For the Cosmic Photo Challenge: 50 shades of grey I tried to pick photos which were naturally (almost) monochrome, either because of the subject or because of the quality of the prevailing light.
