Now, before you go saying anything..I know, I know..I have been remiss. I completely failed to take advantage of the perfect opportunity to start the year as I mean to go on. Namely, I didn’t make the (seemingly) obligatory “Year In Review/Happy New Year” post.
I did plan on writing one…then got busy and put it [...]
OK, I know I have been away a while…and I do have a number of blogs in “I should probably finish” mode…but I feel compelled to write a blog’ette this morning.
CW just called and recommended that I look out of the window. Which I duly did (I am nothing if not good at following orders) [...]
Photo by caruba…or 3, depending on when you are celebrating Christmas in your country/region. Days that is, and frankly it is all speeding up here in Frankfurt. Little things happen, or you go to certain events and you suddenly realise…It’s Christmas.
The Christmas market and annual Feuerzangenbowle consumption is a pretty good clue…along with attending (the [...]
Photo by Chewy Chua… and there’s no need to be afraid.
Or so wrote the inimitable, and not at all tramp like, harpy marrying, ridiculous child naming, humanitarian and all around do-gooder..Bob Geldof
Now yes, I realise that it isn’t Christmas time yet…despite what the shops and TV adverts are telling us. However, I have now confirmed [...]

I am actually [...]
It has been an interesting couple of months in the life of the Laughing Wolf. I have been trying to get used to being out of work, and have only recently managed to not get up at 06:30 every morning. I have also just this past week or so, managed to not refer to any [...]
There is a conspiracy in Germany that Bielefeld does not exist. There are even Wikipedia entries about it. So, for any Germans reading this, it may surprise you to know that I have actually been there, eaten food and drank various soft beverages there and in fact was arrested in that veritable Bermuda Triangle of [...]
So this Saturday is the official made up day of lurve. I say made up as it does seem to be a little too commercialised..looking into the whole “St Valentine” thing just results in admittance that there was nothing romantic in it at all.
As Barry White once said “I’m gonna love you, love you; Love [...]
…. as Huey Lewis and the News once sang.
I have been spotting a disturbing trend around Frankfurt recently from a certain group of people. Well, I say recently, but in reality I just kept forgetting about it…you know, how the mind blocks out traumatic events to protect our fragile little minds.
