On a dark and dreary day

As I heard someone comment today, October in Tübingen typically has a lot of dark and dreary days. The good thing about a dark and dreary day, though, is that it often also rains a little. And that’s a good … Continue reading →

Well, today we (finally!) have that murder mystery I promised.

Truth in advertising?

At the risk of your wanting to murder me, that murder mystery on the British trains I promised yesterday just isn’t coming today. Tomorrow for sure, really. You surely know how it goes when a day just doesn’t go as planned… Continue reading →

A Distinctive Diddly-dum

Posted on 2012/10/09 by clfoto

So it turns out that if you were postal worker on that Night Train I mentioned a while ago, you’d know when to pick up or deliver the mail as you rode the train through each station by listening to the sounds of the train clattering on the tracks. Continue reading →

Well, more time spent today trying to track down the source of the still-incoming moths. The invasion is now down to just a trickle, which is good, but a couple still appear each day, which must mean I’ve not yet … Continue reading →

Puddle World Revisited

Posted on 2012/10/05 by clfoto

Quick update on the moths: I have now bought and burned a lavender candle in the apartment. I saw one lone moth limping along on the floor, which probably had nothing to do with the candle. Unless he was allergic to it or something: the scent is not supposed to be toxic, just annoying to moths. Continue reading →

Today, October 3, is a holiday here in Germany: it’s the official day that celebrates the reunification of East and West Germany, back in 1990. I bring that up as my excuse for not getting a proper blog post written. … Continue reading →

Keeping Watch

Posted on 2012/10/02 by clfoto

Over the weekend I was reading an article online about the predicted demise of watches. I like wristwatches, although not the expensive ones they talk about in that article. But still, the article caught my attention: I commented to Chris that I’d read that same sort of article back when we were still in Bolzano, and I’d blogged about it. Continue reading →

A little historical reconstruction

Posted on 2012/10/01 by clfoto

So there we were on Saturday in Stuttgart, standing in front of the Rathaus (city hall). According to all the information Chris had found on the Internet, the Rathaus in Stuttgart is the building that has a most unusual elevator, called a paternoster. It’s an elevator that is always in motion, that goes up and around in a circular pattern, instead of the standard up and down in a shaft movement that I associate with elevators. Continue reading →
