More Fleas
Another Flohmarkt (flea market) is being held today in Sulzburg. As I post this, it has about five hours left to run. We just had one about a month ago, and I have a story to tell from that one, I think on Monday. It’s not something I have been putting off but rather something […]
Refreshment
There seem to be water fountains everywhere I go in Germany. Usually attached to what was probably a trough to allow horses to drink. And a sign that says “kein Trinkwasser,” which means you shouldn’t drink it. I figure there’s probably nothing wrong with the water, but the pipes are probably old and lead. A […]
Must Be Saturday
There is no post today. You are just imagining that you are reading this. Today’s scheduled post was hijacked by circumstances. The details might fall into the “too much information” category, so I won’t burden you with them. Traveling, family commitments, laziness – it could be any, all or none of these. However, I don’t […]
Is it Tuesday already?
Does it ever seem like there aren’t enough minutes in an hour to get everything done? Or days in the week? Or computers that cooperate? I promise (or at least I am hoping) to post something longer for tomorrow, but until then some humour to brighten your day. At least, I thought it was funny, […]
View From The Top
I realized yesterday when I republished my post on The Atomium that I hadn’t shown the view from inside the structure. I remember in 2014 thinking I should do that, and thinking also it didn’t make much sense because I didn’t know what any of the buildings in the pictures were. That’s because I rarely […]
Today’s Bargains
I held off on posting this until I had been to the Flohmarkt (flea market) being held today in Sulzburg’s market square. Flea markets don’t hold much appeal to me, but it is tough to resist one that is a minute’s walk from my door. Not that there is anything that I need or want […]
What A Bargain!
Like anyone with an Amazon account, I get regular emails with items that are recommended for me based on my past purchases. All part of the “service” designed to part me from my hard-earned money. Offhand I don’t remember ever actually purchasing any of those recommended items, though I appreciate the suggestions. Yesterday’s though, from […]
Outside, After Dinner
Went to a family gathering on Saturday night. I expect to write a bit about that later. I won’t be writing about the experience of meeting a bunch of relatives for the first time. That probably doesn’t interest you. However part of the event was held in a museum, and that I think you will […]
Spring Weather
I’ve been hearing about the weather in Canada; doesn’t sound like Spring is coming anytime soon. Is this when I start to feel guilty about living in Germany? I’m writing this Tuesday on my bus in to German class. I’m feeling decidedly unmotivated. Nothing wrong with the class, but it is 25 Celsius (that’s 77 […]
Blue Light Special – II
I took a fair number of pictures as Sulzburg unveiled its new fire truck (see yesterday’s post). Since shiny red vehicles are always fun, I thought a photo essay was in order today. There was a wide range of fire fighting and emergency vehicles, including a snowmobile type with a sled behind it that I […]
