If counted well the Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) - history here
- 13 times, and thus three times fewer than one year ago, but again at different times on various TV-channels, and apart from
the original in various German dialects; no Swiss version in 2012, though.
Very strange folks, the Germans.
Well, judge for yourself.
Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.

How exciting
How exciting having blocked comments and thus never coming to read those thousands comments I might have got, and never coming to know how many spams of religious nutters I might have had to delete.
Tomorrow my excitement will end.
May the patience be with you.

A safe world for women
Interesting.
I am told, millions of female foeti are aborted in China. Due to the One-Child-policy, it is said.
At the same time, I hear girls and young women are getting kidnapped in Vietnam, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Cambodia, North Korea even and other countries, in order to sell them to the ordinary Chinese family's "One and only" who would otherwise not find a bride, and not only because he not seldom is a fat, stupid egoist, due to the excellent education he, the little prince, got.
Oh well, and kept in brothels they can even serve many little princes.
Millions of female foeti are aborted in China. Due to the One-Child-policy, it is said.
Really?
Millions of female foeti are aborted in India, too. And there does not exist a One-Child-Policy.

What rotten societies!
Time for a new Lysistrata:
And for a safe world for women.
Not only in Kyrgyzstan.
In less than thousand and one years.
The peace of the night.
Typing 'Vietnam women kidnapped to marry in china' within =,46 seconds, I was told there are 4,590.000 entries.

Lousy photo ...
... beautiful bird. |
... beautiful creature, was my first thought. I think creature is a lovely word. But then, I do not believe in anyone / anything creating creatures, creating nature.
Which is why I became creative and changed one word in above's caption.

Wanderer's Night Song
Wanderers Nachtlied
Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh',
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch.
Die Vöglein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.
Goethe
Wanderer's Nightsong
Over all peaks
Reigns calm,
In all treetops
Senseth thou
Barely a breath.
The birdies keep silent in the wood.
Simply wait, soon
Resteth thou, too.
translated by McSeanagall :)

Des gibt's net!
Today's the first anniversary of the day on which Ludwig Hirsch followed his black bird.
Watching the video and listening to him, as always brought tears to my eyes.
Tough guy.

Leaving
I am told peace-loving people somewhere far away are competing in rocket science. Surely there will soon be peace. And when the stones are swimming, the leaves will sink. The peace of the night. |

No need of followers
Attentive visitors might have noticed that Omnium's blogroll peu à peu has become shorter.
This is due to that I would not link (anymore) to bloggers
– whose blogs have not been available for more than one year;
– who would not link to other blogs (including Omnium).
Thanks for your attention.
The older I get the less time I do have to be diplomatic.
And – may I say so? ... ha! of course, I may say so: I do not care about 'followers'.
What stupid a word!
Millions followed Stalin, Hitler, Mao; millions got deceived by ... take the name of your choice ...
And I should ask for followers?
Whooaah. Too many idiots on this planet.
And I am one of them.
Still blogging.
The peace of the night.

For your imagination
After two and a half years ... there could be told some more episodes about the lady and her life whisperer. Alone, these are no days for writing.
These are days for preparing favourite meals; days and nights for trying to anticipate the very next wish [ the German idiom – 'to read all wishes from her eyes – sounds much nicer, would you agree?]; days and nights to speak about past 88 years, about present, death, dreams and future; days and nights to clean and caress, to hurry and hush; days and nights to enjoy a whispered thank you, an "oh, that was delicious"; days and nights for love and laughter, for sparkling eyes and smiling silence ... dum spiro spero.
The peace of the night.

Re [no] comments
As any seldom boring knows I am these months particularly busy with not commenting.
And I could easily when visiting Jams O'Donnell Esq at The Poor Mouth, or Mijnheer Pieters at Villa gedichten, Lady Limoncello at Sicily Scene ... .and Chris at god-free morals.
However, as one after the other they changed their comment box, meanwhile I am just not able to leave comments at Susan's, Knatolee's, Francis' (Attempted Essays), Don QuiScottie's,and some other bloggers.
If anyone knows the 'Why', please let me know.
If no one knows the why, don't worry. None of them is such bad a blogger to need comments of mine.
Thanks for having me.
