While a child latched on a leg might be cumbersome, this naked statue doesn’t seem encumbered by the child nor by any clothes or a longing for decency. Even so, the sculpture is called “The threatened one” (Der Bedrohte) and I’m wondering …

Swish – Swoosh – Swish – Swoosh
Now I know that cattail really means something else, and this is rather a cat’s tail, but how could I not?
The Ear Apparent
When I last visited the sculpture of Reineke Fuchs, he had ears. A bit large for fox ears but definitely ears. A local guide told us that the ears had been ripped off a number of times and everytime they were fixed they were a bit bigger than before.
This photo is from yesterday. It’s apparent that ear breakers have been at it again. For the life of me, I don’t know what motivates somebody to such vandalism.
Henry Loves Game Night
Spoilt for choice – which is the best game?
Henry’s criteria are, of course, completely unique when judging a game.
Piraten-Pitt (otherwise known as Pirates of the Kindergarten) seems to be a contender.
In the end, it’s Boggle. Definitely the best fit.
If It Is Not Forbidden, Is It allowed?
To be honest, I could have just put a link to my contribution to the latest Friendly Friday Challenge: Be Cheap! but I didn’t want to be THAT cheap.
So I decided for this staggering tower of traffic signs: no pedestrians allowed, no bicycles allowed, no mopeds allowed, no trucks with dangerous loads allowed and a mysterious E which I couldn’t identify – edit: it is apparently a category E tunnel. But there is a radio channel in the upcoming tunnel. Yeah!
Another Foursome
I took my inspiration from Jez who is also showing “Four Friends and a Drink” for today’s prompt.
Was It Worth the Ink?
Once upon a time I took a course in calligraphy. I never liked just copying clever quotes, I would rather use my own texts. I never got very good, I should have practiced more but then computers with fancy scripts became affordable and for me the skill became obsolete. But I kept a few of my favourite limericks including the odd ink stain.
Achoo!!!
Covid masks are on the wane hereabouts. They are not compulsory anymore when shopping but one MAY wear them. I do and I can see that fewer and fewer people wear them.
I on the other hand have taken to wearing a mask when I’m outside, working in the garden, cycling, walking … and I’m getting these weird looks. “It’s not the virus,” I like to shout, “it’s the pollen!” I’ve considered writing “ALLERGY” with a sharpie on my forehead (or possibly on the masks).
My allergy to grass pollen is a lot worse than in previous years. I take tablets, blow spray up my nose, and trickle drops in my eyes. I still sneeze, and sniffle, and tear up. But masks definitely make a difference. So I will keep them on. And probably glide seamlessly into autumn when the next COVID wave is going to hit.
Stop Comparing Yourself to Other Frogs!
Are you feeling envious of the little frog taking a shower? Or maybe the frog is envious of the driver deciding which way he can go? – Either way – “neidig” is German for envious (and obviously also a family name).
