Outside the window / Vor dem Fenster
The Hopperesque landscape outside my office window is endangered. I only have to go away for a week and someone puts a tree there.
And I really have to keep an eye on it. Look what I saw today. What does this mean?
Doughnuts/Faschingskrapfen
The German equivalent of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is a proliferation of different kinds of doughnuts in bakeries.
These were seen at Confiserie Neef in Nuremberg.
According to their website they have:
Hagebuttenkrapfen
Zwetschgenkrapfen
Eierlikörkrapfen
Schokoladen-Nougatkrapfen
Himbeerkrapfen
Cappuccinokrapfen
Champagnerkrapfen
I had a Zwetschgenkrapfen (zwetsche jam, or rather powidl), the oval ones in the middle.
Carey Street
As I have run out of current trivia, here is a photo of a window in Carey Street in London, behind the Royal Courts of Justice and near the Seven Stars, and a close-up of part of the window (somewhat lightened).
LATER NOTE: This turned out to be the pub cat Tom Paine, of the Seven Stars.
Henry Kissinger’s birthplace/Kissingers Geburtshaus
Heinz Kissinger was born at no. 23, Mathildenstraße.
It would be tempting to sneak a suitably designed plaque in there.
Snow / Schnee
