Laughing Lhursday *: Flann, Harry & I

Since my hairdresser didn't have 
an earlier appointment before Christmas 2024,
I decided that she should have plenty to do
when the time came,
and let everything grow for three weeks.
At some point, I discovered a certain resemblance to Harry Rowohlt,
the brilliant translator (not only) of Flann O'Brien's works.
And so I spontaneously captured this moment.

Isn't she absolutely adorable?
Such a cute little girl!
And how wonderful:
She doesn't say anything.
She doesn't ask anything.
Best of all: she doesn't whine
while Mum is shopping.
(Sarcasm off.)

Jürgen Tomicek, one of the most renowned German cartoonists of our time, 
often leaves viewers of his work with laughter stuck in their throats.

Happy New Year, dear friends!
May the best of 2025 in 2026 become the worst! 

I have decided to emigrate to Greenland and soon become a Greenlander, as according to my reliable source, every Greenlander will soon be offered $2 million if they agree to vote in a referendum to join the (dis)united States of America as its 52nd state**.

** In case anyone wonders: The 51st state will, of course, become Canada.

The loveliest of all daughters and booksellers allowed me
 to 'make' a Laughing Lhursday of her mishap.

As title, she suggested two and a half weeks ago:
Tanzen ist doch schädlich. / Dancing is harmful after all.

Now, while sitting in Hogwarts
with her torn ligament, 
the cook's name is Sean,
for a couple of weeks
carrying pots and pans across the road
for four hungry mouths.

Fortune favours fools,
or as a German saying goes,
"Die dümmsten Bauern

"The dumbest farmers
harvest the biggest potatoes".

Once again I feel relieved.

As in any well-organised household, everything preserved at Seanhenge is labelled and dated.
So I was all the more surprised when I recently opened a tin of homemade tomato puree to prepare a tomato sauce “à la Sean”:

Instead of the usual date, I read: 
“The day before Goethe's 275th birthday”.
Sometimes I even make myself smile.

P.S.: Can any of my kind visitors 
tell me on which day I was in such a playful mood?
