The Schwebebahn in Wuppertal used to be on my bucket list…not anymore. An Odyssean journey through Berlin and Hamburg ended in paradise.

a lapsed Quaker walking…I’m relatively sure you’ll get what I’m trying to say at some point
Ok, I told you about the dog I met the first day and how I was missing my dogs, so there’s that. The whole dog thing. I’ve even started Dog Spotting pretty obsessively, which is something I always did, yet now I’m taking photos and adding whimsical captions and/or stories. We’ll see what comes of… Continue reading a lapsed Quaker walking…I’m relatively sure you’ll get what I’m trying to say at some point
Hey ladies: you want to take your relationship to the next level? Have I got a deal for you…
For the second time in the last six months or so one of my Mitbewohner (flatmates) has decided to go shack up with his girlfriend. Move in with his beloved, in other words. All’s well. I wish each of them the best and wonder who’s going to move in next. Then I strike on a… Continue reading Hey ladies: you want to take your relationship to the next level? Have I got a deal for you…
Up in the night staring at the full moon and pondering the melting snow and an Imaginarium
Suppose I could blame the full moon. Or the pots full of tea I drank before I should’ve gone to bed. Maybe even the fistfuls of chocolate I was shoving in my gob at some point hours ago. Yet whatever the reason, here I am up in the night not even trying to fall asleep.… Continue reading Up in the night staring at the full moon and pondering the melting snow and an Imaginarium
Dragged with vim & vigour
Taking the hounds out for a walk takes on a whole new meaning when you’re wearing your roller blades, doesn’t it? So much holiday preparation going on this last weekend, but we still had time to go out and seize the day. Apparently, aside from decorating Christmas cookies, letting Ella and Louis pull her along… Continue reading Dragged with vim & vigour
Social media strategies: what NOT to do
Have been doing more freelance work with social media recently, and this cartoon had me chuckling. How many times have you been stumbling round the web, and one of your friends, that you thought wasn’t so bad, made one of these blunders. No emo status updates people. Truly – it’s just bad form. The Complainer’s… Continue reading Social media strategies: what NOT to do
Ode to Joy
Tonight’s the Eurovision Song Contest, and during the voting they’re singing Ode to Joy and climbing ladders. As one does. I don’t care how camp this thing is, I watch it every year, mock it on twitter and laugh at the voting from the countries that couldn’t get their entry into the Finals. If you… Continue reading Ode to Joy
Shake your booty
Had a great time dancing the night away and was once again reminded how elemental it is to hear a beat and want to sway one’s body to and fro. The lady in the photo above stands along Leopold Strasse here in Munich, and every time I pass her by, I can’t help but smile.… Continue reading Shake your booty
shameless self promotion
Was about to say that I hadn’t talked about turtles in a while, but I went back and looked at my earlier posts on this blog and there’s nothing turtle-related. Not a damned thing. Which is a bit strange, because I’m really into turtles. And? There’s a beautiful human female riding atop the turtle. Not… Continue reading shameless self promotion
