No - in protest! lol

Did you buy any?

Wow..

We had Christmas cookies in our local Edeka on September 1!

Of course he’ll like it. How could he not?

That traffic cone (pylon) was a bonus...

That was a cool little path .. half forgotten but smoothly paved.

Yes... she saw me ride off and couldn't make out what Ii was up to. Bless.

I don't try and sell my used books - I just give/swap them with a couple of friends here. My friend g gave me a Murakami novel yesterday. Have you read any of his stuff? I've enjoyed a few of his novels.

Yes, it's good to have traditional shops like the place that sells all kinds of screws etc.

Do you mean you call them grills, or trellis?

Hi,
67 , eh? I’m 71 and can testify to the yo-yo effect. It’s a matter of maturity, or age depending on one’s point of view.
I wish we had hardware stores like you nuts and bolts place here in France. The big box stores have driven the small quincailleries out of business. Sometimes it’s hard to find replacement parts to fix old things when they break. The local stores always seemed to have just what one needed.
Nice work on the grills. I agree about the use of the word trellis.
Cheers,
Keith

Hi,
I’ll give it a go then. I’ve mostly given up on printed books, especially in English, as the market for used books is saturated to the point where most are now given away or donated to small library kiosks. E-books are also easier to store. When we moved to France twenty-odd years ago, I sold off about two tons of books. I promised myself never to build up that many again.
Cheers,
Keith

She’s trying to decide whether to dash across the street and make off with your camera.

Sad. When they lock me up I hope it’s at least by a trellis with character.
