Last on the Card in August

Camera SD

A small caveat for the phone SD: it’s not really the very last on the card. I use my smartphone extensively at work and the last photos were of the vaccination cards of my students (if they are vaccinated they don’t have to test for COVID twice a week). Obviously, I cannot share those.

So, 20 photos back – this is it. I feel questions like “What is it?” coming on. So here is a short explanation: It’s a crochet wine glass holder to hang around your neck so that you can have your hands free while rambling through the vineyards sampling the wine from the various cellars on “Weinwanderung” days.

“Ag, shame!”

This explains the title not the photo (no editing, no explanation). Shame is a term used by South Africans all the time. You’ll see a cute puppy –> “Ag, shame.” (ag is pronounced with a long a as in “laugh” and the g is the same sound as in the Scottish “Loch”). Your friend’s son has won a rugby scholarship. –> “Ag, shame!” You tell your friend that your mother-in-law had an accident and is in hospital. –> “Ag, shame!”

I was sorely tempted to cheat this time. I’d been out with my bike, caught some wonderful flowers with bees, then on my way home I came past this underbridge – train tracks next to the small country lane and the autobahn overhead with some interesting graffiti. When I was just packing up a freight train went past and I got the engine and some wagons and that was the end of it.

2002 last a

That’s the last picture on my SD card in February.  It’s an sign from WWII and the equivalent of English posters of the time: “Careless talk costs lives” or “Loose lips sink ships”.  We’d been on a run for Leap Year with some friends (the last one we did four years ago, wouldn’t you know?) and were caught in a thunderstorm.  We took refuge in a local pub where we had food and drink to recuperate.  This replica sign caught my attention when we left the pub.

To prove that I am not making this up, I’ll gladly share the second to last photo for February:
