U-Bahn is now stopping every so often between stations. It's generally the reliable one 🫤

Update: S-Bahn decided to stop in Hauptbahnhof which is always great

Trousers on all four legs or just the hind ones?

I do love a double decker train, particularly the high speed variant

Yeah, it's definitely Christmas card worthy

Jaysus, I mean, I would prefer if there was a "smaller portion" option more widely available but not if it's forced on me.

Why do I also imagine that I'd have to pay full price for the privilege too?

*One* mulled wine this evening. Though with a Schuss of Amaretto

(Thursday evening involved a tiny bit more)

Happy world day, Carol!

Wait a second, that doesn't sound right...

I've a vague idea of timelines, but only from being through the Musée Carnavalet the Invalides a couple of months ago

"contacting daily" also covers a multitude - there's the "hey, thinking of you" type that you're doing, and then there's the "tell me everything that you're doing in detail, so that I can interfere if necessary"

I think that's the point of that quote, only 17% of parents actually communicate with their kid, whereas a lot more are only tracking where their kid is.

The former is parenting, the latter's pretty creepy

I'll have to keep an eye out for these - my office is pretty close to one of the runways at Frankfurt airport, while the canteen looks out at the approach of the other main one

Berlin does still have a fair amount of cash only places (as of last week) but outside of there most places are cash or card, and Frankfurt even has a few card only

Germany's a bit easier in that respect, but even here I rarely use cash - at the Christmas markets, maybe?

Napoleon'll be expecting more sympathy in future for his post-patrolling duvet dozes

Train arrived perfectly on time. S-Bahn's now about 7 minutes late to make up for that
