Every Breath I Take, Every Move I Make
They are watching me.
If you live with a cat you have to get used to being observed, very calmly.
Even when not wielding a can opener, Henry is there, watching me.
But other cats observe me, too.
Sometimes they do it openly.
Sometimes more clandestinely.
Watching is one thing. But most of the time I’m feeling judged as well.
Topsy Turvy House
This house is said to stand on its head. Its name is “Das Haus steht Kopf” (the house standing on its head) and it actually does.
Ragtag Daily Prompt: Flapdoodle
In Tent Surprise
I am not a big fan of traditional brass bands so I usually avoid the fest tents at the smaller festivals in the area. The bigger festivals have more tents and cater to different music tastes. But they were selling sausages at the local winegrowers’ festival and we were hungry, so we went in.
We were very surprised by the band on the stage. They looked spiffy but not completely different to the more traditional bands. Their music was wonderful, upbeat and boisterous. They were having a lot of fun.
So were we.

The World’s Favourite Sport
Not mine, I’m afraid. But I have a husband, I have two sons, and I’m German. So along the way I picked up some knowledge about German if not much of the enthusiasm that others feel.
Five matches were played in Kaiserslautern (my husband’s hometown) when Germany hosted the World Cup in 2006. In a square near the train station there are ten statues of players from all the teams that played in K’town (that’s what the US soldiers stationed nearby call it). They are slightly larger than life and I think made of papier mâché judging by the yellow-green moss growing on them.
While I do not share this escape route I acknowledge that for many people all over the world it is the perfect escapism.
