A #Limerick

Trump's militia in blue cities shocks
Decent residents, out forming blocks
To protect fellow folk
Not with threats of gun smoke
But dressed up as inflatable frogs.

I always thought that Käsekuchen is one of the healthiest cakes available only Käsekuchen with fruit like apple or cherry is healthier.

My German accent changes depending on who I speak to.
And my English accent too, also the accent of the reader of the audiobook I’m listening to has an influence.

Wenn der Tag in die Nacht übergeht
Leg deinen Segen
auf die Müden
und
die mit Sorgen auf die neue Woche blicken
Weite deine Segensflügel
dass alle geborgen sind

Am Flussufer stehen im Vordergrund Grashalme, daneben liegt ein großer flacher Stein, auf beiden Seiten des Ufers wachsen Büsche und Bäume, im Hintergrund sind ganz leicht die Berge zu erkennen, am Himmel geschlossene Wolkendecke.

Those who wonder whether peaceful protest achieves anything: Research of both violent & non-violent protest has shown that -across time & borders- peaceful protest is the more effective of the two. From a sceptic who found herself convinced by her own research:

Friends dying is hard. I hope you can get support from friends and family.

Unfortunately there isn’t much family. But I’m with my husband and we’re supporting each other.
And a friend of mine died just a couple of weeks prior to my mother in law.
It is a strange year.

And it is really dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
It was quite a thing when West-Berlin adopted the “green arrow” from the east after reunification.

That really sounds like a lot to cope with. Wishing you the very best.
My mother in law died recently and I’m struggling a bit.

Stimmt.
Obwohl meine Zuhause-Brille ist bestimmt schon 10 Jahre alt. Das Gestell ist etwas abgenutzt, aber die Gläser sind noch tipptopp.

Perhaps this is why my grandmothers lived well into their 90s. Knitting, making using both your hands, decreases likelihood of up to 50% in cognitive decline by the age of 85. Jane, from Snapdragon Life, also speaks to my own heart about leaning into loving and enjoying life!

Während der Wechseljahre sind meine Augen nochmal um einiges schlechter geworden. Jetzt geht es.
Ich hab Glasgläser, die halten von der Qualität sehr lange und zerkratzen kaum.
