I join River today with these words:
1. donkey 2. battleground 3. spatula 4. outside 5. bridge 6. stars 7. rescue 8. scorching.
My Brother... here is a pic of him on a donkey.Isn´t that cute? Ca 1980.
He helped me out when Dad - he was a very fair man and asked me as the older one first - if I wanna go on a journey "to America" with him (he got this as a gift for selling I don´t remember what, he was goldsmith, watchmaker etc...), I said yes and last sec remembered... no.
We were too much alike - Bro went with him instead and we all were happy. This was maybe... 1985?
I would´ve failed on the battleground anyways!
A spatula these days is more my thing!
What a word!!! Spatula!!!!
Reminds me of Spartakus!
Ingo wanted to bbq his steak in the caravan park in Madeley/Perth outside but there was no... "Spachtel", as we call this.
So I went to the front desk and tried to explain what I want, boy, it was embarrassing, LOL!
"I want to flip meat on the bbq"... uiiii.... But that word-bridge did get me what I needed!
In Perth you can see the stars.. but not as wonderfully as in the Outback - and in Germany only in a village or small town in ice cold nights, darn light-pollution!
I prefer the scorching Australian heat!!!
I need no one to rescue me, I enjoy that heat, but not the cold!
Dad
always dragged Bro and me out of the warm bed in such nights to watch
the "stupid stars".... Hello, school day tomorrow and... it´s freezing
cold!!!
Still... miss ya, Dad.
And the Aussie sky and... you get the picture...

I remember that word, Spatchel, but never until now. My parents used to say it when cooking and I knew what it was, but in school I learned spatula and never thought of Spatchel once mum left us.
I got the spelling wrong, but you know what I mean, Spachtel.
Oh, I didn´t even read it was written wrong in the first comment! The brain is a strange thing.
Your Mum left you? That is bitter. Did you stay in contact?
My Mum once yelled to our Dad (Bro and I were in my room) that she will leave us. Us, not him.
She did not and later told me if she hadn´t been married she certainly would´ve taken us kids along...
She stayed because she´d promised.
...oh yes, US the land of gun culture.
Tom, sadly true...

William they did not understand Spachtel.... But we got the job done!
As kids we always had a toy gun to play with. How sad and now they have real guns. :(
Yes, that also was a real gun...
