Looking over the Rhine Valley
The rooms of the keep of the Starkenburg above Heppenheim have the best view in the youth hostel (the castle is used by the Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk). It’s not the original keep, though.

An intransitive arrow. Not pointing at anything. Just pointing.

I saw this particular puddle in a nature reserve, of all places.
The Chair and Chain
I’m not sure if chair-o-planes or swing caroussel is the right word in English but we call these fairground rides Kettenkarussell or chain caroussels.
My Husband Called Me Fat, Again.
When I hear plump the first thing I think of is birds, preferably chicken. But pigeons work, too, it seems.
