Ain´t That Bad

Found the neighbour standing in 3C long enough I could grab the cam and take a pic of that happy face.

The sun makes it all so much better and after the really very cold week 3C plus in fact is a joy, don´t you think?
I saw a lot of people smiling on Monday, many walking with the face up into the sun.

Cloudy and rainy again - but I tried to push it along, kinda:

Hope it works, right?

Visitors From Far Away

The other day I could´ve sworn I´d seen a seagull.
Either ocean is about 2-300 km away.

But, see?
Those are seagulls!
I really do wonder what they do here? A "holiday"???
Do birds go on vacation?!
I mean, these days we have it all:

There isn´t much water in river Oker at the moment, hence it looks a wee bit like a beach, no?

More seagulls on the other side even!

When we came to KIK we were surprised to find this:

And I have to admit, I fell for this:

Do you have an explanation for the seagulls being here?
And why so many, too?
Is it the cold weather?

We Are Yummy

Mural found on Berliner Street.
Artist, as usual, unknown.

Sadly I wasn´t hungry, so no idea if the food really is yummy...

If I was, though, hmmm... what would it be?
What´s your fav?
Once in a while...?

Taking part again in Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals :-)

Bad Boys (On Brekkie Table)

Yesterday when I got up I didn´t find my usual frog-cuppa.
This not always bad guy (.. ;-) ...) served me my coffee in this:

Yes, this poor widow was tortured by two guys who were created 8 km from where I grew up.

It reads:

Ach, was muß man oft von bösen
Kindern hören oder lesen!
Wie zum Beispiel hier von diesen,
welche Max und Moritz hießen.

"Ah, how oft we read or hear of
Boys we almost stand in fear of!
For example, take these stories
Of two youths, named Max and Moritz..."
Thanks, (Wiki)

Found the cuppa in my parent´s house.
Remember the big, green book my Dad used to read me from. Then to Bro, then I saw it in Bro´s place with Big Niece having it...

Go to South-Australia, Barossa Valley, Hahndorf, you´ll find his portrait at a café...
Cherry trees, too.

My home town has statues, too.
Bitter-sweet.

Care for a cuppa?

Technology These Days

On our way back from the (darn) grocery store yesterday in the frickin` cold I saw the sun in the middle of our road setting.
Said to Ingo, what´ll the cam do with this?.

Ingo stated, a ball of light, no more.

HA!
Thechnology these days can do so much more, right?
Just think back at the Bros Lumière and others and how far "we"´d come!
(And let´s see when (not if) the next generation laughs about this!)

It´s still so darn cold, but ex-teamleader advised me to go ahead, hence:

They certainly stay inside.
Pepper, cotton and eadible flowers.
Wish me luck!

A Hint To Warmth

This house/tile-number is just around the corner.
It reminds me of the Mediterranean or even Portugal.

It was (and is) sunny here, too...

A short walk to our grocery store really was enough.
A warm lunch was what I needed yesterday and it will be enough for today, too.

I just hope a good summer will make up for this!

A New Hobby?

I needed to get to White Horse SC yesterday and found these birds there in one row on the landing stage.
Funny sight (and what kind of birds are they?).
Do birds have hobbies? ;-)

They didn´t move, too.

It was -10C - daytime, by golly, my face sure did hurt (today even colder - hello, March? Spring???).
Still I saw peeps on pushbikes.

-10C and wind was a tad too much, I´ll try and stay inside!
Got this series (Ghost Whisperer) sent over from Great Britain and was surprised to find this odd choice of languages:

I don´t mind, I just wonder...
(And yes, I know, the series is a tad absurd. But I like it)
