Had a few minutes yesterday evening between appointments and got this shot of the sunset while standing at the entrance to the Odeonsplatz U-Bahn station. I love this city, which I think is self evident by the way I write about it. Sometimes, I’m so busy hustling here and bustling to somewhere else that I… Continue reading pre dusk moment in Munich during a break in the clouds

a visit to the The Idler Academy of Philosophy, Husbandry and Merriment
There was a time when we were begging for an instalment from our London correspondent, but luckily that is behind us. After publishing his recent piece on the London Olympics, he appears to have been bitten by the writing bug. We here at the Lahikmajoe have been so wrapped up in our own idling… Continue reading a visit to the The Idler Academy of Philosophy, Husbandry and Merriment
under some of our noses
I was frustrated last month at how little time my new job was allowing me for blogging. Ridiculous, eh? Here I have this great opportunity to help start an English-language weekly newspaper in Munich, and I’m worried about my little, personal site. Here’s the thing, though. It needn’t be either/or. I could focus all of… Continue reading under some of our noses
idling right
Played a private party on the Isar this evening, and it really was quite enjoyable. Relaxed and a bit languid, even. I told Jarrod that I used to play gigs in a tuxedo and this was much more fulfilling. Wouldn’t go back to that earlier life as a musician for anything. Not that anyone misses… Continue reading idling right
Shades Of Gold
A while back, I wrote introducing my London correspondent. In it, I promised a bit about idling at the Idler Academy of Philosophy, Husbandry and Merriment. A vast swath of my loyal readers have probably felt let down by the many weeks of silence on the matter. I could chalk it up to too much… Continue reading Shades Of Gold
little Vizslas
Insomnia has struck, so I’m up in the night looking at old photos. Have another blogpost in the works about Schoko Bär, but it’s not quite ready, so this’ll have to do. These are photos from when Ella and Louis were still tiny. Puppies are a bit like babies in that everyone thinks their precious… Continue reading little Vizslas
free beer
When I was still relatively new in Bavaria, well Munich to be precise, my U-Bahn line was extended and they were offering free beer. Well, there was also a party in celebration of the new underground station, but the only part I heard when someone told me about it was ‘free beer’. That was all… Continue reading free beer
in praise of idleness
I’ve had a few days where I just couldn’t do much of anything. Somehow my brain has rebelled and shut off. Certainly made it to my appointments, and fulfilled my responsibilities in my job…however, when I’ve sat down at my desk to write, I haven’t been able to focus. I’ve been eager to finish various… Continue reading in praise of idleness
a bluer moon
When I was a kid, I loved the moon. Not sure why I was always so drawn to it. I remember being very small and waiting at the bus stop in winter and looking up at the moon with wonder and awe. One of my favourite summers when I was a younger man was the… Continue reading a bluer moon
curse all you want
Have you ever wanted to just yell at someone, but you couldn’t? Anti-social as it might be, sometimes the only thing that will satisfy that desire is to let loose. To open your pie-hole and just unload a torrent of abuse. If there were only a place that would let you get that aggression out.… Continue reading curse all you want
