  1. Frikadellenbrötchen... The only food cafeteria at hospital served at night. Long long waiting for the next grandchild. Returned home and now wife is there. We do shifts. Our second does a bit hard because of all the scars from hide transplantations after an accident when 12.

    A bread roll cut in hald with a Frikadelle between. No salade, tomato, cheese , remoulade, sauce... Just the Frikadelle.

  2. Happy Easter

    I was ordered to care for the grandchildren and grandnieces and grandnephews while the females of the family care for our high pregnant second. Sunny Easter weather and the red forests ants are busy working on their hives. So we will visit a hive and place easter eggs into it. The ants will spray their acid on the 'enemy'. The acid reacts with the natural colour the eggs are painted with, leaving nice patterns. Easter ants are one of our generations old family easter traditions.

  3. I hate TV-series like 911, Seattle firefighters, ... All paid professionals in big cities. Countryside with its volunteers have less training. So you should help them as much as you can.

    For most cars you can download the rescue sheet in several languages. Gas spring devices, side airbags, all that stuff that might be dangerous.

    You can also have something similiar at home: a capsule with a sheet naming medicaments, contact persons, allergies. You glue a small sticker on the housedoor where to find it, mainly it is the fridge.

    2 Euro for a sheet you fill with the information, a box for the sheet and placed in the fridge. Two stickers: one for the house door, one for the fridge. All in all around 10 minutes which may save your life if an amateur like me may have to rescue you

  4. People with a good memory probably know that my company car was destroyed last year by a car from behind with too weak brakes. Now the new beast arrived. First thing to do is to print out the Rettungskarten in German and French.

    That leads to the question what is a Rettungskarte in English. Rescue-Card, rescue sheet? Are they mandatory at your place, or is a QR-code at the wind-shield enough (fails if no access to internet at countryside) The 'rescue-sheet' can be downloaded and printed out. Then it is placed at the sun-shield or another easy place. It contains all the data firefighters need to help at a crash: where to turn of the high voltage of this model of an electric car. Where to lift the car best, where to place hydraulic presses,....

    Probably too long a firefighter. Before doing a longer testdrive placing the rescue sheets. Yes it is an electric Mercedes G-class and one of the sheets is like this

  5. Long night at hospital... Oldest giving birth to a girl at 3:37am, 3624gramms, 54cm. Second will follow with a boy next days.

    While holding the baby our youngest was humming; Bettina Wegner : Kinder (Sind so kleine Hände)

     

    Are such tiny hands
    With tiny fingers on them
    Don't you ever beat them
    They might break apart

    Are such tiny feet
    With so tiny toes
    Don't you ever step on them
    They might not be able to walk

    Are such tiny ears
    That hear so excellent
    Don't you ever shout at them
    They might become deaf


    Are such beautiful mouths
    Speaking out everything
    Don't you ever forbid
    They might not speak anymore

    Are such clear eyes
    That still can see everything
    Don't you blindfold them
    They couldn't comprehend

    Are so little souls
    Frank and completely free
    Don't you ever trouble them
    They might get harmed

    Is such a little spine
    That you can hardly see it
    Don't you ever bend it
    Because it might break


    Upright, clear humans
    That would be a beautiful aim
    We already have
    Too many spineless people

  6. Sorry but sometimes it needs my mother language to explain my feelings.

    Our third will do one year at an foreign art school. Kids leaving the house. Finding a balance between giving them freedom to do their own live but letting them know that there will be always a home for them. First time I was singing this song with my guitar was when our oldest did a one year trip through Europe to study forests. Now it is our third... not forests but musical instruments making.

    ....

    Good journey, good journey / A year passes like a moment and come back healthily

    Good journey, good journey / No border which separates us and come back healthily

     

    You can fly to the stars, past the Orion / Dive in Marianengraben and feel free

    The universe expands / Climb the Mount Everest

    Swim up to Iceland / In your heart I am with you anyways

    Because I am forever your home

  7. I asked the local LEGO seller about the Unimog. He said at the floor for kids 11-16, costing a bit more than 500€. I said this is not really a price for kids and pocket money. Now when buying big LEGO parts for the grandchildren the seller smiled and thanked me for an idea. He was selling Unimogs double the amount. He had made a floor labeled: LEGO for MEN with the unimog abd LEGO for WOMAN with the botanicals...

    Seems there is a change in customers

  8. The last days were sunny but with bittercold clear nights. Our new coldblood and the other horses had to wear shelters. At setting sun. The head of the horses is still in the sun while the legs are already in shadows. Makes the picture a bit strange in colours, Should stick to black and white :)

    The horses preferred the sun uphill. For night they move down into the valley for wind shelter

    Is this one of new flower vases for adults? 

    The twins 'play' LEGO at school for robotic and computer science classes. Over the years we got all the technical LEGO stuff at home. My last LEGO was an Unimog with hydraulics to show show how the real beast works :)
