Being on tenterhooks

· 2 Comments ·

As tenterhooks are difficult to come by these days and the figurative meaning is difficult to photograph I decided to take the German equivalent of the idiom: auf glühenden Kohlen sitzen = to sit on glowing embers.

Both is painful, I guess.

PS: After wondering about the spelling, checking it out, patting myself on the back for having learned something new, I managed to get the spelling wrong in the title. 😳 And wordpress being wordpress allows me to change the header but not the link. Write out 10 times: being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks.

Ride or treat?

Whether you are eager to join this horse’s anticipation of meeting a friend or just anticipating winter – expect some fun.

Considering the next week, I rather hope for the best, yet expect the worst. I’d rather not think of it much.

Kapitelsaal der Wachenburg

This is the chapter house of the Wachenburg in Weinheim, a room where large meetings are held. Normally one finds such halls in church related buildings such as monastries or cathedrals but this chapter house is part of a castle built by an association of fraternities. It is used once a year by the association itself when the fraternity members have their annual meeting, the rest of the year it can be booked for events.

A wild goose chase

What started out as an argument (or possibly a bullying incident)

amongst domestic geese

turned into a wild fracas

before settling down again when everyone left.
