Back To My Desk
Only a few days until college begins again, the third semester, and I need to concentrate on my little project and get as much down on virtual paper as possible. Travelling in to Bremen each day – one and one half hours – and then back in the evenings – one and one half hours [...]
No Change, Just Costs
We’re still ‘cooking’ water. The first company our landlord called to fix the water boiler sent an inexperienced man who didn’t even bother doing the whole job. He was meant to look at the boiler and see about repairs and, at the same time, measure up one of the rooms – not in my apartment [...]
All Work and No Play…
Makes Viki a very dull candidate for life. So, rather than spend all my time on my project, even though it’s important to me, I spent a little bit of time with friends at the Brokser Markt in Bruchhausen-Vilsen. In case you don’t know what this is and didn’t catch my last post on this [...]
There’s No Such Thing
The Germans say there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing. It’s usually addressed at someone without a rain jacket during a downpour, but can be applied to so many other instances not related to weather I thought I would mention it here. I have discovered that it makes a great [...]
Quiet Time
I’m going to have a bit of a quiet time for the next few days, just me and my computer for a while. I’ve got to the stage with my writing where I can sit down for a few hours each day and put words down on (virtual) paper which will actually have some sort [...]
Underwater
Underwater is, perhaps, a little bit over the top. Our water boiler, for the whole house, has sprung a leak and can’t be used at the moment. No hot water unless we cook it! Normally such an event wouldn’t be so serious: you call out the plumber who comes and repairs the leak and everything [...]
Tired.
Yesterday was the Open Air concert here, with three live bands, dancing, fun and a few beers. This morning is the old timer rally with lots of old cars and a few motorbikes. But you’re going to have to be a little bit patient to hear – and see – my views, my experiences, on [...]
The Only Way Is Down
It’s not going to take long, and the calls for Mark Zuckerberg to move on and find a new job will grow louder. The first mentions of such an idea are already there, even if most people have overlooked them, and they will probably get louder next week. And that despite the fact that it [...]
Photography and IQ.
It is amazing how some people view others simply because they use a different software, belong to a different club, have a different hairstyle or whatever. Normally sensible people come out with the most idiotic comments when they don’t stop to think, or stop to consider that what they really think doesn’t work in our [...]
Any Leftovers?
Is there anything left? I mean, hardly a day seems to go by without one website or another, one news program, magazine, self-help story telling us that we can’t eat this or that because it either isn’t healthy or because it contains something or other which might cause cancer. Now, I can understand certain politicians [...]
Still Blocked, But….
Yesterday I mentioned this little Matthew Keys person who works as Deputy Social Media Editor for Reuters in New York who blocked me because of a three word comment I made on one of his Tweets. It seems that there is a follow through on this which, since I am blocked by Keys, I shouldn’t [...]
Jerk!
I had to laugh a little over someone else this evening, it just slipped out as a smile and then a fully fledged laugh. Why? Because the reaction of someone to a Tweet reply I made was so overboard, so pathetic, you’d have thought it came from a child in a bad mood. It all [...]
Just Not Ready.
Sometimes it is a good idea to just take your time, not to rush things, just ease on down and see what happens. Not always, but sometimes. Perhaps it is a sign of wisdom when you know the difference. In one small area I’m fairly sure that I know that difference: photography. I know it [...]
The Day After.
There’s always a day after, either good or bad, when you go out somewhere. In my case it was a good day after. I rarely drink so much that I cannot control myself completely, and certainly not so much that I end up with a hangover and a mass of regrets! Open air church service [...]
