I don’t remember much about Disney’s Stitch except that what he was doing he did with gusto!


Wool, of course, is Wolle in German. Which, considering my surname, leaves me spoilt for choice. Here is wool basket and a wool snuggery. “Wool chamber” and “wool parlour” didn’t sound good so I turned to a dictionary for inspiration – I think that our living room will be called “snuggery” from now on.
This is the war grave memorial in Modautal. There are other cemeteries in Europe with graves from soldiers and civilians of many nations of the two world wars in the 20th century to remember these victims. They should be memorials not so much of “lest we forget” but rather of “never again”. Sadly, it hasn’t worked.
