We have firefighter open day tomorrow and I was phoning the baker for some hundreds breadrolls. I was put on hold and guess what was played in an endless loop:

bonding -> first born
Four years between first and second. When the second was born the older was closer to me. When my wife was nursing the second the older was walking with me in the forest, was interested when I was repairing something, ... Even with three more kids, the oldest is somehow more like me what she is doing.

descriptive -> blazon
In heraldry and heraldic vexillology, a blazon is a formal description of a coat of arms, flag or similar emblem, from which the reader can reconstruct the appropriate image.
My birthtown Wetzlar's civic coat of arms might heraldically be described thus: In gules a spreadeagle sable armed, langued and crowned Or, over its wing dexter a cross pattée argent.
The black Imperial eagle on a red background and with a golden crown stands for the town's former Imperial immediacy as a Free Imperial City (see History). The silver cross stands for the former Imperial City's right to mint coins. The arms are almost unchanged from those borne in the 12th century.

The VW Corrado VR6 of my wife is close to it, but the VW colour is called Classic Green Pearl Effect. 30 years old

Stormy. Holes in the clouds. In them we can watch shains of cranes in the sun returning from Africa. So my personal weather predict: spring is near.

Robert Galbraith -> Tiger
QuoteKurt Tucholsky (German: [kʊʁt tu.ˈxɔls.ki] ⓘ; 9 January 1890 – 21 December 1935) was a German journalist, satirist, and writer. He also wrote under the pseudonyms Kaspar Hauser (after the historical figure), Peter Panter, Theobald Tiger and Ignaz Wrobel.
Had to write a semester work in literature about Tucholsky and a play at the school theatre:
A party with some friended families - till a kid aks what is the reason for the holes in cheese. Familes starting a more and more overheating discussion close to open war. And it ends with the kid raising its arms to the sky: Lord, do you know why are there holes in the cheese,

xenophobia -> feather duster
There was a time when xenos meant not only stranger or enemy but also guest. So Xenophobia could be the fear that guests (parents in law) could consider yout house dirty. So befor they visit you do a total cleaning of the house. Luckily our house has a sign at the entrance:
Our home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy!

Mom has birthday and my older sister is on visit in Germany. She always said that at her first life concert with Foreigner, Saga and Meatloaf Meatloaf did a strange stage show. The zipper of his trousers got damaged and one of the female singer and himself were trying to fix it with silk scarfs. She also said he nearly collapsed and needed oxygen, being drunk or a collapse never was told.
The official international TV coverage I knew was censored and showing the band while the scarf affair, the german one had it.

Price Pfister > Hansgrohe
One of their products is Bora. It is a kitchen air filter build into the oven. Advantage is that there is nothing above the pots or your head. Also a german professional cycling team is named after it.

futurist and prolific genius -> Artur Fischer
Probably the inventor who had the most impact on my life. Best known the wall plug (near weekly use), metal implants after bone fractures (being a goalie was dangerous), synchronized flash for cameras (all these family photos), and .... most important for me fischertechnik which allowed kids to build nice technical stuff, way better than LEGO.
a plotter / scanner I had it on an Applie IIGS to plot math formulas for school
pneumatics

superman --> Philipp Reis
Sadly died too early 150 years ago aged 40. He invented an early telephon and created its name. Died before he could do refinements Bell knew his work
Much like the first motorized flight in 1901 by Weißkopf. If money (Wright company) is involved history is rewritten.

Nice
Never had the luck(?) myself to design the interior of a house. Old beast was build before there were any norms and is under cultural heritage. So we normally repair the perfect fitting old furniture. Only the kids rooms are new. Were former cow stalls.

Most snow gone, but ice skating still possible. First green from tulips breaking the ground.

wedding -> Polterabend
The eve before wedding neiighbours, former classmates, friends,... come to the house of the bride and throw porcelaine. Breaking porcelaine is said to bring luck. We had around 300 guests at the marriage of our oldest. The couple has to cleanup the porcelaine together before a little party can start. We served drinks and snacks at the firefighter building after the porcelaine breaking.
The wedding is then normally with a smaller number of people.
At our place before entering the chapel for the wedding the couple has to do challenges, like sawing a trunk blocking the entrance door with a two men saw to show that they can work together to solve problems.
