Fisherman’s friends works well for me. Speedy recovery
28 folks has cast their vote. Might even ended by mid-week. Definitely a run between Berlin and Munich. Both great cities.
Oops. 🤣. You reckon Berlin will win it?

Great point. I have changed it to BlueSky Meetup. Also thanks for triggering the discussion. Did you put in your vote?
Sorry Puttaalu, I had a copy and paste failure and had to delete the post. Here is the working link. pollunit.com/en/polls/2ff...
Sorry, that lost post contained a copy and paste mistake. Berlin is still leading but Munich is catching up! pollunit.com/en/polls/2ff...

Thanks mate. I will add these two cities to the list. By the way, for those who has voted, I think you can adjust your vote if you want to.
Awesome when both are in the same school. Easier for parents and for the kids.
Is MA - Magdeburg? Agreed with F - Frankfurt. Good suggestions.
My youngest is starting his Oberstufe, so heighten anxiety. And my eldest just found his commute time has increased by 4hrs per week. So SNAFU as per previous years. 😆
Enjoy your last week! We are back since 1 week ago.

Thank you. What are you up to? We are attending a Christmas in July tomorrow.
Post a movie from the year you were born:
Holy cow! congrats on the amazing result.
The last meetup at Leipzig was a fab event. Unfortunately, I was not be able to partake. Hopefully, this time.
Christmas are celebrated in July, right? Those crazy folks from the other side of the planet. 😜 Feel free to drop by for some festive celebration. Al welcome.

Berlin would be amazing to visit. Always something interesting to see and experience. +1 from me.
We should definitely do a Germany tweet up in 2025
It was amazing how it came together will such precision. It was super fun.
Surprised that the colours are not synchronised across the states. 👌🏼🤪
Lol!
What exactly are your fighting for?
Stuff you find at Lidl. Not really sure how to process this.
Wikipedia (in German) has more info. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._A._T...
Visited St. Stephan's church in Mainz. The blue stained windows cast an amazing colour inside and gives you a really peaceful feeling. #fujifilmxt1 #photography #mainz
There is a popular clothing chain store that sells Tees with Australia city names, just like those souvenir Tees. Made mistake asking if he is Australian. 😅
If you are in or around Mainz, the Gutenberg Museum is worth a visit. They have this map from the 13th century, as well as the Gutenberg bible on display. It was freaking amazing.
We had a day trip to Mainz today and saw this on a side street. It is so intriguing to see this. I wonder where the other 9 parts are located. 😅
Happy Birthday!! 🎂
I think our oven is on a separate 415V voltage from the home lines. Don't attempt to connect the oven yourself, it is fatally dangerous.
Exciting time ahead.
We a bit more compliant and only used the Waschmaschine after 8am. 😂
Vroom Vroom.. ;.)
Hopefully, once your trip get going proper, it is plain sailing.
I would have thought with the amount of travel you do, you would be used to these type of precautions. To be honest, the pickpockets were like magicians, so would pay to be extra careful in Barcelona.
Yes. Its reputation is well deserved. My wife's and mine got done separately. We made two trips to local police to report it. Luckily, we left the really valuable stuff back in hotel.
We had an amazing trip to Barcelona. It's alley ways were full of interesting people, shops and interactions. Especially the pickpocketers. :-( #FujifilmXT1 #Barcelona #photography #humansofbluesky #streetphotography
Keep safe.
Oh I see. I just catching up. 🤣 hope you had a good trip.
Have a safe trip Mark.
Oh dear. 🙁
Eau Rouge. #FujifilmXT1 #Autophoto #photography
Yes. But it was really refreshing in the hot sun.
Funny thing is Amex is a major sponsor here. Signs everywhere for them.
That would be good! But It’s for a single Magnum.
Vroom vroom 🏎️
Fancy a Magnum ice cream? Wait, I need a bank loan first. 🤪
Definitely. No big crashes Thankfully. Hope he won a few races.
Not too many traditional circuits left.
100%. Its so steep!
My first F1 experience at Spa. They are much faster in real life.
Culture
She was the star last night. Her story is also very inspirational too.
What an an amazing match. Congrats to both team. www.dw.com/en/euro-2025...
Good to know! I shall let you how it went.
So we head off to Barcelona next week. I heard that it is a foodies paradise. Any hints for those street food epicenter? I am hoping for an old market, hawking endless variety of Spanish street food. TIA 🙏
Looking at this picture thought the computer screen seems to do this location little justice, but I can sense its serenity. Enjoy your day!
Same here. I am surprised that the McDonald app does allow you just hit a button to order the same items from the last time your ordered. That would stop the endless queue at the self-ordering kiosks.
hope he start posting soon. it is currently empty.
Enjoy your trip Kat!
Definitely. You just need to talk to their sales rep to sense their cult worship of the brand. 🤣
Vorwerk is like saying. Leica to a camera enthusiasts. Yikes at the price!
Nice one! Even a relatively smaller distance means you are moving and not stagnant.
Too bad that most liveable does not mean affordable. I know for a fact that Melbourne and Sydney is super expensive to live in. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...
I am trying to find a maker space but for bigger machines like a building a kart. do you know what they are called in Gerrmany, or is there such a thing? My son has a bright idea to convert a kat car into a motorised vehicle, and have asked me to find a workshop for him. 😜
Thanks. Had to cheat by using Spaghetti. 😂
Curry laksa for dinner tonight!
That’s progress!
Yes. Definitely.
It also came across my feed as well. the investigations it self is quite intriguing as well. I will have to dive into the rabbit hole later.
Watched F1 movie last night. It was kinda OK. I felt my bias was too tuned to knowing enough about it to spoil the enjoyment of it. #f1movie
Okra is a food of gods. It adds so much texture to the meal. At least for my palate. Happy eating.
Interesting the ResBull seems to have accepted that Max will depart sooner than later.
How can it still be 30 at 9.30pm?
I try to do everything manually, and I think that is what's driving me mad.
Thanks. It’s my first time doing this type of photography. So hard got get it right.
Racing the evening is kinda cool. #photogprahy #kartmasternrw #autophoto #fujifilmxt1
Love this photo of a kart next to the petrol bowser. #photogprahy #kartmasternrw #autophoto #fujifilmxt1
That would mean I would have to finally give up my German drivers license that I supposed to renew some years back. 😆
I'm not really active on here but a lot of my Berlin contacts are, so... here goes! I published a book in Italian on Berlin football and I will be presenting it in Berlin at Birra on 28.6. at 18h. It would be really cool to see some familiar faces, and maybe some new ones!
