Over in the courtyard of the State Museum, they’ve got a stockpile of ready-made construction stoppers. I frequently warned that digging a hole in Mainz will hit mostly something of…
“94 today” says the display on the commuter highway close to Bingen. Don’t know why it thinks that – birthday was in July and I’m not *quite* that chronologically gifted.…
..but now and zens OK…. Zen Sushi, Leichhof
Or whatever the animal protection outfit is over here. Look at this poor malnourished aquatic nag. So skinny, you can see its ribs… Seen at a stable at the Zollhafen
Vikings – that’s what is says on the ship, anyway – heading back down the Rhine to the North Sea and all points north. The bunch I saw drifting aimlessly…
Got dragged along to a garden place in Bretzenheim yesterday which tends to happen when major purchases loom and someone needs to pay for it. Eyewatering prices but the budgies…
This cutting edge re-entry vehicle turned up in the middle of the Mainz Xmas market without the need for grabbing arms and suchlike. The crew mumbled something about its being…
From the Book of John. 4:16 And Jesus did say to the throngs “Get thee to the artist in the Via Augustinus in the city known as Moguntiacum who doth…
…er…truncheon at. (That’d be night stick for the colonial cousins. And – Germans being direct as usual – locally, it’s a Schlagstock. Hitting stick. I told you they don’t mince…
In 1962, Chevrolet introduced a (for the USA…) small car called Nova. Sold well, with the exception of Spanish-speaking countries Much scratching of well-groomed marketing heads in Detroit until someone…
Scratch a German and you’ll likely find a nature lover hidden inside that humourless exoskeleton. Proof of this are the nesting structures for storks they’ve set up all over the…
…to Glue Wine. Oh. Glühwein… That‘s how you spell it? Live and learn…
From Ethiopia, even. But from Togo?
If it says “Stick no bills”, isn’t the owner of the property setting an example that can justifiably be used as exoneration of anti-social behaviour? To wit: “Sticking bills” Normative…
Not sure what relics you use in your cou de bois, but around here clover and chimney sweeps play a prominent role in the celebrations. All for 99c at your…

The Green Party has – on occasion – some fairly good ideas. (Some fairly loopy ones too: Don’t bother fixing potholes, just lower the speed limit….) The city councilor with…
I hadn’t said a word. Ms jb watched me taking the photo and said “I know how your mind works. You are just plain disgusting….” Right she is….
Not really my tasse de thé as one says around here, but I’m sure this delightful example of decadence (Kevlar with real diamonds, I’m told…) will just fly off the…

Again. No stopping? On a farm track through a motorway underpass? OK. I’ll move…
…mallow yallow Malven around here. Wonder if they have anything to do with the salt people…?
Yes, I do think so…..
…but I’m wondering if it says “Duotonplatz” on the 2nd Level of the Theater underground car park?
I know that fashion tends to be ephemeral, but these bags are liable to meet their “Best by” date before I’ve finished my cup of coffee. Has-beans, one could say…
Injuns Ethnic Americans appear to have invaded Mainz. If they don’t move their teepees from the flowerbeds, I shall Sioux….
Looks like hunting season has been opened on my wallet…. Essential stuff (so I’m told…) at the market
“Whodunnit”, more likely. Now, where did I leave my bike…..?
I THINK that this is an empty icecream container. HOPING, anyway. Too many doctors’ practices in the vicinity to be sure, though…..
