Good beer and a horribly cheap whisky.

Sir Vimes would approve

The sun goes down upon the Ankh,
And slowly, softly fades –
Across the Drum; the Royal Bank;
The River-Gate; the Shades.

A stony circle’s closed to elves;
And here, where lines are blurred,
Between the stacks of books on shelves,
A quiet ‚Ook‘ is heard.

A copper steps the city-street
On paths he’s often passed;
The final march; the final beat;
The time to rest at last.

He gives his badge a final shine,
And sadly shakes his head –
While Granny lies beneath a sign
That says: ‚I aten’t dead.‘

The Luggage shifts in sleep and dreams;
It’s now. The time’s at hand.
For where it’s always night, it seems,
A timer clears of sand.

And so it is that Death arrives,
When all the time has gone…
But dreams endure, and hope survives,
And Discworld carries on.

Sad news on such a happy day for me.
Sir Terry Pratchett is dead.
That really got me.
He was the one, who did understand my teenager self.
He kept writing faster than I could read.
Fantastic stories with great charm fun and satirical style, I didn’t know to that time.
He made me dive into world’s with no end and brought me so much laughter.
Sadly it is now possible to own „The Complete Terry Pratchett“.
A day I looked forward to since his announced Alzheimer illness.
He will be missed. But at least  left us tons of his writings.
Let’s dive over the edge into it….

Mademoiselle thought it would be a good idea, to have a walk in the sun.

Summer is coming

American style pancakes for my french mademoiselle in Germany on a Sunday morning.

I do this all the time!

A birthday is always a good opportunity to try out restaurants one would usually not go into.
This time, my dad’s birthday, we went into Bürgerspital.
A top notch location in Würzburg.
To bad, I don’t drink wine as one would think to be reasonable for such a place.
But my parents and sis really enjoyed it.
Mademoiselle was not within our company. So she just mentioned, we should go there one day.
Well, that day might not be to soon, as my wallet is still recovering; )
Yes, Domina is a name for a wine and we also drank some Riesling.

I know a forrest, where this could be possible and would make so much fun…

Our wikipedia article of today is about:
Jean-Antoine Nollet

In 1746 he gathered about two hundred monks into a circle about a mile (1.6 km) in circumference, with pieces of iron wire connecting them. He then discharged a battery of Leyden jars through the human chain and observed that each man reacted at substantially the same time to the electric shock, showing that the speed of electricity’s propagation was very high

Quality science is „very high“
