I wish you a nice midday/highnoon or how you call that (~12:00 here)

Good afternoon to you aus Deutschland.

Are you a coffee drinker? Many of us are addicted to the bean here.

 

[Sappho_CGN]

I drink coffee but I am not addicted

Welcome back Sappho.

I do not like Berlin and the Berliner (the inhabitants). Too large, too loud,, too dirty ... I know that Germans have the reputation to be unfriendly ... but Berliner are even from German perspective very unfriendly.

A famous joke about that is:

A Berliner in Vienna asks an Austrian how to go to the Stephansdom:

"Ey , Männeken, wie komm ick zum Stephansdom?! (Hey, midget,can you show me the way to the Stephansdom?!"

Der Österreicher:
"Hören Sie, könnten Sie etwas freundlicher fragen?" The Austrian: "Please, could you ask a bit more friendly?"

Der Berliner
"Neee, da verloof ick mir lieber!" (Der Berliner: "No, then I prefer to get lost!"

Try Paris; they dont even like each other, much less rude to tourists.

Hi All. I don’t see it as stalking, just caring so stalk or care away.

I have just been super busy. My days start at 5.00 am or so and finish at about 10.30 pm at this time of the year. The weekend was flat out and yesterday I was on the hill. Today I was at the computer at 5.00am and then out on the Merse for the wildfowl followed by back at the computer now.

I will update when I can

Love you All!

Shy mom...

Poor baby!

I will officially call off the (stalking) search party!

Morning b2! Hope your arm feels better over the course of the day.

Thanks. It will. It’s better than other side effects. And good morning Wonderer.

This is fundamentally why I live here. My love of wildfowl first brought me to the area in 1977 and I just fell in love with it. This was taken from the back of the house!

I have been there twice this year; not getting any better. I took a French speaker with me; not much help. But, cheap stuff at the flea market.

Haha...yep.... they were pretty happy to see people back in the day...js

Wow that is a lot of birds.... I am so happy you are able to work and do what you love

 

[Qky75]

why is it that the bad habits stay even if the memory goes? like...if we're going to start fresh every morning, let's go all the way shall we

That is just the pinkfeet. When the barnacle geese get here there will be about 35,000. Not the numbers you get on the US flyways but still a lot! The first barnacles have just started to arrive!

I am from near Cologne in the Western part of Germany. I have relatives in Ostfriesland (Aurich), too.

Guten Tag Frau Sappho! I lived in Mainz-Castel for five years. Oktoberfest should be winding up today no? Have a dunkel for me and a half haushuhn!

Welcome to The Spoon. Others have given you the gouge so I wont repeat. Just come in and and have a good time!

Off to work today. Planes, trains, and automobiles are sure to follow. Looks like a night shift possibly so morning Z will turn into afternoon Z…

 

[Sappho_CGN]

LOL... "Oktoberfest" is a Munich issue ... I am happy it is far away from me .... carnival is already enough ...

 

[Tweedledude]

Ya all have a absolutely marvelous day. Heading to the hills here

 

[drobert44]

My dad helped them out in 44, battle of the Bulge....

Thirsty Americans have sort of made it our own (even though we wait till the actual October here ) and have sort of glorified and mythologized the whole thing.
