This is Josh Strauss, a South African born rugby forward who became elligible to play for Scotland only a month prior to the Rugby World Cup 2015 in England and Scotland. The photos were taken at the RWC match Scotland vs South Africa in Newcastle.

There I was in the middle of the forest with no map, no reception for the map on the phone, and no sense of direction – until I chanced upon an old style signpost. Hurrah! — Hurrah? What a muddle!
An old sign for a coffee bar in Neustadt an der Weinstraße might not be all that appealing – yet in our current times the idea of sitting in a coffee shop or a bar or a restaurant with other people, friends or even strangers, has become very appealing indeed. Let’s hope that such a simple pleasure is soon again possible.
But the name of the place lets me wonder … while “Schluckebier” is a normal, if not very common, name in German it can be rendered as “beer for quaffing”. How appealing is that?
Ragtag Daily Prompt: Appealing.
Being only 1.56 metres tall small I would love to have longer legs. Having done some spring lock down cleaning these past days it would have been great reaching the upper cupboards without a ladder.

Once upon a time, we would go somewhere on a Sunday afternoon and meet other people …
When I read this quote: “His high forehead, aquiline nose, and longish chin were softened by nut-brown eyes and a gentle smile, one that suggested he was always prepared to think the best of people.” (Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie) I dug through my pictures and looked for brown eyes. I looked at brown eyes from cows and horses and even bunnies – but little did I expect to find the best nut-brown in the eye of an emu.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Nut-brown.
