Weckensonntag
Continuing from where we left off yesterday, some thoughts on this unique Sulzburg tradition, in this post from 2018. For my neighbour it is a nostalgic time. When she was a child, Weckensonntag was the day the children received their new spring outfits (in Canada for many families it is Easter for that). So I […]
Something Special
According to the calendar, Sunday is Weckensonntag. However the festival is canceled this year, I presume due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Still, we can celebrate nonetheless, with these thoughts and pictures from 2018. Our neighbour was insistent we had to take part in Weckensonntag, which is held the third Sunday before Easter. She told us […]
Listening To Legend
My friend Rob texted me to suggest I take a listen to his new music video, and share it with my friends if I liked it. So here it is. Rob is one of those 21st century type of friends – we’ve communciated a lot over the years but have never met. I first became […]
Breathing Freely
Everyone was wearing a mask when I went to the grocery store on Tuesday. Even though they didn’t have to. Ontario lifted many of its pandemic restrictions Monday, including mask wearing in most public settings. I expected to see a lot of naked faces when I shopped. I didn’t. Some grocery store staff were unmasked, […]
Different Time, Different Place
I keep telling myself that stretching my mind is good for me. Which explains why I read Until Leaves Fall in Paris when it was offered to me for review. I’m not the target audience for romance novels. I think it has something to do with my gender. It isn’t that I am not a […]
I’m Not A Doctor…
Back in the 1980s there was a television ad, for cough syrup, I think, featuring an actor who said “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on television.” It was as if TV conveyed authority and expertise. We know it doesn’t. If it did, reality television star Donald Trump would have done a much […]
Words To Ponder
Normally I wouldn’t quote an obscure American President, or even a well-known one, but for once I stumbled across a statement that I agreed with! No idea if President Taft really said this. If you are a long-time frequenter of this spot, you know I have used that quite before – 2015 I think it […]
Language Lesson
Yes, I have posted this before, but it has been almost six years, so you might not remember it. I thought it might bring a smile to the start of your Monday.
More Aerial Ramblings
I thought we might extend our flashback post about ballooning from 2015. Cappadocia is one of the top three places on the planet to go for a hot air balloon ride, or so I have been told (the others, if you were wondering are the pyramids in Egypt and the Loire Valley in France). And […]
Taking To The Skies
It Is Flashback Friday, with a post from January 2015. I am noted for my frugality. I make no apologies, and for the most part have no regrets about pinching pennies. Mind you, my idea on what is worth spending money on has changed a little bit over the years. In 1986 I was […]
