    If you had asked what I missed the most during both the Sydney lockdown last year and the last 9 months in Germany, it would’ve been cafe breakfasts. This makes me happy. ☕️

    Fun at Schloß Schwetzingen. When I came here in 1994, I thought it was the most beautiful garden I’d ever seen. It’s still right up there… ❤️🌳🌹🌺🌼

    Home again in Munich! In addition to being a fun getaway, this trip was also a celebration. As of this past week, I’ve been at @amazonwebservices for 3 years. 😊🎉

    You know, I think this is the first time I’ve ever ridden in a proper train compartment! 🚄 @ München Hauptbahnhof https://t.co/zGHqoLxNBA

    When there’s a restaurant with your name on it, you have to eat there. 😂🍻 #schnookeloch #snookyhole https://t.co/c47LOpbq1q

    Back in Heidelberg for the first time in 27 years… ❤️🏰 https://t.co/bFC3gTIjLl

    @abertrotzdem We’ve been trying to translate it. Seems to be a slang term for jokes?

    There we were, sitting in a brewhouse in Heidelberg, Germany, and the Sydney lockdown made the international news. https://t.co/c2pFZDKUWI

    Heidelberg. ❤️ My favourite castle in all of Germany. I haven’t been here in 27 years… 🏰

    After exploring the castle, we took the old funicular up to the Königstuhl, the highest point in Heidelberg. The view was breathtaking. Then we did a short hike before eventually heading back to the Altstadt for dinner at Vetter’s Alt Brauhaus… 🌳🍻

    Today’s German class accomplishment: describing the plot of “The Castle” auf Deutsch:

    Der Flughafen wird größer! Der will das Haus der Familie kaufen! Aber die Familie liebt ihr Haus!

    RT @KenScambler: @web_goddess “Sag ihm, dass er träumt!” (Or so Google translate tells me)

    RT @codepo8: @KenScambler @web_goddess Das geht direkt in das Billiard Zimmer.

    @mark_sabbatical @StewGleadow I didn’t know that! I first saw it when I was living in London with Rodd, and then many times since we went to Sydney, of course.

    @KenScambler @joneaves @codepo8 LOL. @the_snook’s contribution was: “Ich habe ein loch gemacht. Es füllt mit Wasser.”

    RT @KenScambler: @joneaves @codepo8 @web_goddess Es ist Mabo, es ist die stimmung

    Running late to #CNCF Switzerland meetup. Joined just in time to hear Stepan from @ventuscloud describe Dapr as your application suiting up like Tony Stark in the Iron Man suit. 😂🤖 @vshn_ch https://t.co/vz1E43NYF1

    It turns out that my strategy of being HORRENDOUSLY BAD AT THIS during my first appearance did not dissuade @mattstratton and @phrawzty from inviting me back. Ugh. They’ll probably make me draw “thought leadership” again. 🙃 #baskinmyfailure #growthmindset #beerwillhelp https://t.co/zn1ewunbNz

    @SecondeJ @mattstratton @phrawzty Oh god. See, as soon as you SAY it, my mind goes completely blank.

    😳 The Bavarian government really wanted to make sure I didn’t miss that I’m eligible for a vaccination appointment! (I already got one from my GP a month ago, so I’ve now deleted my account.) https://t.co/6XmfWy97Cg

    Good grief! They’ve also sent me multiple messages via email too. I wonder if some intern is going to get blamed… https://t.co/EVuPlE3d0f
