Same Procedure as Every Year

If counted well the Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) 16 times at different times on various TV-channels, and apart from the original in various German dialects, inclusive Schwiizerdütsch (Swiss German). Very strange folks, the Germans. Well, judge for yourself. 

Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.

Afternoon pleasures

Kitchen view
while freshly prepared espresso's scent
was spoiling my olfactorium.

Merry Christmas!


Every year again
Comes the Christ Child
Down to earth
Where we humans are.

Stops with its blessing
At every house
Walks on all paths
With us in and out.

Merry Christmas, then,

Goodwill to all people
and Peace on Earth.

Beers & Books XL

I often feel,
and ever more deeply I realize,
that fate and character
are the same conception.

Novalis 2 May 1772 – 25 March 1801

I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.
