Now it's back down to the train station.

The views from up here are lovely, but I could do without the going down bit

There's an archaeological park behind the museum on the Glauberg plateau where there were people at different points.

Also makes a nice walk

Extraction de la TAPISSERIE DE BAYEUX  - 18 09 2025
YouTube video by Bayeux Museum Extraction de la TAPISSERIE DE BAYEUX - 18 09 2025

Here's a video of the Bayeux Tapestry being carefully removed from its case and packed away. I had my heart in my mouth while watching. And yes, I do have nightmares about it crossing the channel! I had my heart in my mouth just watching this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7ys...

Better watch out that Cecilia doesn't drag him into her chaos while he's still under the influence

I presume the only thing more important would be if it were a Danish ship?

Iโ€™m stuck into La France avant la France about the Merovingians and the Carolingians, but will start @kjcharleswriter.comโ€™s All of Us Murderers when Iโ€™ve had too much French!

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

Germany's justice ministry held firm and killed EU chat control (for now):

"Chat control without cause must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law. Private communication must never be under general suspicion."

Admirably concise and direct. German in the best possible way.

Said book is also in French, and had me wondering where on earth was the river Escaut, until I realised I knew it as the Scheldt.

European geography can be a bit challenging that way

I'm reading an actual paper book for once. This didn't stop me from trying to check the time by looking at the top of the page

Some men fly-fish, others are into online gaming, this is a meld of the two, gavin-fishing; cast a perfect Gavin with a Presidential tail to hook a Yank. #speirgorm

25 minutes late into Frankfurt. At least partially caused by the check at the border, I presume

Are they still at the waddling potato stage, or the stage where Cecilia starts looking like a staid individual?
