Astronaut Ends Space Mission With Bowie Classic – Yahoo! News UK.
Ah the sunny weather is here – why even if I had work – I wouldn’t like to be doing it!!! π
I like the simple things in life – like fixing a puncture in my bicycle tyre, going for a bike ride in the Taunus (not on the roads), laying on a park bench up there and dozing whilst gazing at the clouds – we should all do more of that I think.
I was having a rest – and I thought – “Do I really have to rush off on my bike to do even more kilometers? NO, I thought – just lay here on your back and relax and watch the world go by”.
So I did.
I believe I found the profession for which I was born …. :-))
Too loud walking????
I was walking, admittedly with purpose, up a hill in Kronberg on Sunday morning – around 10:00 in the morning.
I was wearing my walking boots, good, solid leather things – and I admit that they make firm contact noises on the ground.
I noticed a woman turning around to look at me – she was on the oppposite side of the road and also heading in the same direction.
On the second or third glance of hers I greeted her, in my best German ” Guten Morgen”.
Imagine my suprise when she responded “Was fΓΌr einen Krach Sie machen”
I was somewhat surprised but responsded “Ich bin Flach Fussig” or I think it was something to that purpose.
So now I know – it is posssible to walk too loudly in Germany.
Can anyone can tell me what the Strassen Recht Verordnung is that I in my studpidity have broken?
Best

What lack of Marmite can do to the Colonies :-)
Oh you uninitiated peoples of the world!!!!!!.
Your sorry specimens who know not that your taste buds sleep,
Look on longingly to an Empire built on “Marmite”
And yearn for wholesome satisfaction from discarded beer brewing waste.
I sing the glories of ……Marmite.

A student mentioned this British artist – well – I clicked on the link and listened to the video – wow – I like it!! What do you think? How would you classify his music? I think I may try to get an albumn. π

Now this brings back memories. Before Star-Trek there existed
Dr. Who. Whizzing through time and space – (especially parts of the U.K.)
In fack this TV show is still being produced – I don’t know how many Doctors have rejuevenated since the original one (a grumpy old scientific type – he was one of the best). But the show is still going strong.
If you don’t know what this is about – sorry to hear that.
