Late this morning I went to the fairground for the Frühschoppen (roughly translated: morning drink), had a few bites to eat and then watched the parade. Afterwards, I watched some of the games and walked around a bit more but then walked home. I'll sit in the garden a bit and read the rest of my book, maybe have a nap and then go into town for the closing ceremony, then to the fairground for grub and some more fun.
Stupidly, I can't take any more photos because both batteries I had with me are dead and I didn't bring a charger. Bah.
I do have some photos I took of the Ehekarussell, a big fountain in Nuremberg. Click the thumb to get to the flickr set.
The big parade should set off about now but I have no desire and stand in the rain. Poor kids but why should they be better off than I when I was participating. It rained more often than not during my school days. Oh well, more time to read and I have more fresh raspberries picked from the garden earlier today. Om Nom Nom.
ION, my side is still sore but it's getting better. Not hurting when twisting or bending over would be nice, thank you very much.
Trundled over to the fairground and walked around a few times, had some grub, took some photos and caught up with a few old school friends. Pleasant evening, the weather held and it was neither too cold nor too warm. A few photo impressions:
Still alive, have been sleeping, eating, watching a little TV and reading Das Obsidianherz. I used to be able to read faster, I get far too distracted by other things these days...
Oh dear, Bonekickers didn't exactly have a promising start. I shall leave poking factual, historical and archaelogical holes (I'd rather have the Time Team than that lot dig up my garden) in it to others but WTF? Leaving just the "mediaeval mystery" part of it would have been OK but this modern "Holy War" rubbish was just utterly OTT. I expected something along the lines of the Da Vinci Code but compared to this, Brown's novel was a masterpiece. I'm someone who doesn't mind if (historical) accuracy and logic are sacrificed for story and entertainment but this was just risible. The average Point&Click adventure game (thinking mainly the Broken Sword series here) has better plot and puzzles than this.
(BBC2) Not much new to me but nice and well presented, giving alternatives for specialised ingredients (e.g "if you can't get black rice vinegar use balsamic"). Easy, quick, using only fresh ingredients and much lighter than a takeaway. Cheap, too. Take that, Delia and your stupid processed food shite.
In my attempt to try to get into old Doctor Who, I'l be renting a number of DVDs that are available on lovefillm.com. I already watched Genesis of the Daleks and enjoyed it (how does Tom Baker not trip over that scarf of his?).
So, old Who fans, which episodes would you recommend?
