Look, it’s a real Shetland Pony, in the Shetland Islands! Wow! After checking in, we had a couple hours to spare; ended up visiting the beach.
[…] Our last day in Edinburgh and we revisited an old friend (the castle), had tea at the Elephant House, and do some wandering in new parts of town. It was great seeing the 1:00 cannon, visiting the Honours of Scotland, and drinking tea where JK Rowling worked. Everyday day (except Sunday), the 1:00 cannon […] I’m just a couple days into a serious vacation – nothing I could get away with calling a “long weekend,” but an honest to go, using vacation days, vacation.

What have I been up to? Thüringen Bratwurst I spent a weekend down in Thüringen, one night each in Jena, Weimar, and Erfurt – it was a weekend of visiting many friends and three kids. Unfortunately I only saw two kids because […] Eurovision is shit this year. Pure unmitigated shit. Wait – before you give up, hear me out. As most of you know, I’m a Eurovision fan. Perhaps not the most dedicated (I don’t pay attention to within country song selection processes, not even within Germany), but I do buy the music and listen to it […] |
