Keinenfalls eine do-nothing-machine ist die Espressomaschine wenn sie mit Strom aus dem eigenen Solarkraftwerk betrieben wird! Danke, liebe Sonne, er ist rrrrrrröstfrisch sag ich da nur!
The doors of perception
Danke Moni und Hansi für diesen wunderbaren (Hochzeits)Tag im Grünen, der kaum 😉 schöner hätte sein können!
Beeren
Ein sehr gutes Beerenjahr! Insgesamt fast 2kg an Himbeeren, roten und schwarzen Ribiseln und Ogrosln (Stachelbeeren) von 4 Sträuchern. Sogar 10 (!) Honigbeeren waren heuer dabei … allerdings sind sie geschmacklich eher … ahem, grausig. Die roten Ribiseln wurden in einen Kuchen verbacken bzw. gegessen, die schwarzen Ribiseln sowie die Himbeeren für den Winter eingefroren, und die Ogrosln waren beteiligt an einer sogenannten Marmeladen-Sitzung (English: jam session). 🙂
Draw your own zodiac
Lets face it: star constellations – and hence zodiacs – are an entirely arbitrary human choice. There are neither 12, nor 13 zodiacs, there is an almost infinite number of visible stars in the sky, from which a literally infinite number of “constellations” can be generated by connecting stars with lines. Not the sky, your phantasy is the limit. You can also divide the year in arbitrarily small intervals (say: picoseconds) and define your own zodiac depending on where planet Earth happens to be on its orbit with respect to the stars at that picosecond.
Lets take a look at Taurus (which they tell me I “am”):
Or in a more sober representation:
And here is what the night sky around there actually looks like:
Oooooh WOW! I can totally see a bull here! If I consume a lot of fungus. So now lets forget about all the zodiastic taurusshit and reveal my REAL zodiac (25th of April 1977, 6am, 320e+12 picoseconds):
Surprise: my zodiac is Unicorn! As can be clearly seen, Elnath defines the tip of the horn, while Aldebaran makes for the shiny ass. The anomalistic year (time between perihelion passages of the Earth) has an average duration of 365.259636 days, which amounts to 3.15584325504e+19 picoseconds (=number of distinct zodiacs in our system). We therefor randomly assign number 2.504197706e+12 to this zodiac. I think it’s a good zodiac. Character traits associated with “Unicorn” are: sexy, a bit vain but kind, icecream. The picosecond division of the year also means: not many people have it!
What is your zodiac?
Das Hörrohr
“Reading The Hearing Trumpet liberates us from the miserable reality of our days”, said Luis Buñuel. And not just during a pandemic I would like to add to that. In the end, “people under seventy and over seven are very unreliable if they are not cats”, and those are the majority. And: Leonora reveals the true origin of the Holy Grail, which after all we’re also searching for here, and which reminds me that the front tyre of my bike is in desperate need of pneuma. 🙂 Whoever does not acquire a copy of this book at their local book merchant of trust after this immediately, cannot be helped.
Here she is:
A book for all senses, but clearly: category “ears”.
