    I put on a nice dinner, IMHO. 💅 Pork cordon bleu, glazed parsnips, and salad (Napa cabbage, kohlrabi, apple, and prosciutto) with honey-mustard dressing!

    The beautiful orange leaves are all gone, in less than a week. I forget what it’s like to see the seasons change. 🍁

    The Snook’s family have a variation on this, where you’re at a market or a shop, see something HIDEOUS, and point at it while saying for your friend, “That’s for you.” https://t.co/MQIKWtjEHX

    Each time we do Weisswurst Frühstück at home we up our game. 🍻 @ Theresienhöhe https://t.co/pbm7RWuhZ7


    @PeopleOfCraft I have been very very tempted by weaving of late. Would you recommend the Erica?


    @captainklein We went to the Zugspitze last weekend, which was great. But the hotels are all closing this week, which means we’ll be strictly limited to day trips. (And no restaurants will be open either, so have to carry everything with us.)

    Feeling a bit down this morning. Lockdown looming; Germany has cancelled the Christmas markets; all leisure travel is banned. Remind me again why I moved halfway around the world in the middle of a pandemic? 🙁


    @joneaves I know. But that doesn’t help either, thinking that we could’ve stayed in Oz and mostly been done with it. 🙁


    RT @GordyPls: If you’re into Halloween I hope you have a heap of fun this year. Seems like a bit of joy and fun is overdue.


    @Reidyd Not a fan.


    @randomknits @GordyPls Remember our awesome Halloween parties? I miss that.


    @aaronwalker @joneaves Actually, it’s going to be a glorious weekend in Munich. So at least I’ve got blue sky today…

    WAIT, WHAT?!?!?! https://t.co/hKJrbf1T2a


    The Apathetics are all attacking Connery to steal his life force. Now he has to eat the magic leaf. I… wish I could explain what any of that means. https://t.co/m0NJl2mqOb

    @QuinnyPig My last flight (prior to relocating) was a weekend away to Melbourne on March 13. That trip pushed me just over the line to gift platinum status to my husband. 😂 What a waste.
