The view from the upper floor of a rented vacation home in Roag on Skye.
You're absolutely right regarding the timing, but I know where to rent a Defender, I recently bought a new waterproof jacket, and I got lots of books to read as well as films to watch.

After looking at that wonderful photo, I feel the urge to book a flight to Inverness and drive a hire car out to the Hebrides. Suddenly, I also crave deep-fried Stornoway black pudding, miss the sight and sound of sheep, and am interested in buying a tweed jacket.
It's all your fault, Lynn!

I agree regarding many casual places, but my experience differs if you eat a place with an ambitious crew.
One good example in Freiburg is Drexlers. Great food, excellent service.
Providing great service sounds easy, but it's hard work. You can tell who's running a tight ship.

Es ist nicht die Aufgabe eines Journalisten fรผr Wohlfรผhlatmosphรคre zu sorgen. Jung mag seine Marotten haben, aber er hat Wales fair die Mรถglichkeit gegeben, seine Sicht der Dinge darzustellen. Wales wollte nicht, wurde unsachlich und tรผrmte. Lรคcherliches Verhalten, aber sein gutes Recht.

Interesting. That's a twist I didn't expect. Due to some online activists, I'm well aware of NYPD and NYFD employees parking wherever they want. I didn't know that the problem also affected the Ed. Dept. to this extent.

Munich has excellent places for cheese, Dallmayr and Kรคfer being two of them. Gouda and cheddar should be available. American cheese, which is a processed and pasteurised cheddar variant, might be practical for some dishes, but it's not exactly a high-quality product.

Despite 80 years passing by, the consequences of the Shoa are still painfully palpable. Names might have been changed and family photos might have been placed in the basement, but often, there are small details hinting at the horrible past.

Lisa Murkowski, a benefector of political nepotism par excellence, sold her most vulnerable constituents down the river. Murkowski, who's past retirement age and financially secure, stated that she's afraid of Trump. If you're a Senator, you have to demonstrate leadership. She's simply pathetic.

Cutting funding for public broadcasting in this particular area hits indigenous Americans with a significantly higher poverty rate. It's nothing less than targeting an impoverished, neglected minority that deserves better. But what Republican wants to defend the disenfranchised these days?

Politicians in many Western countries constantly complain about their respective public broadcasters. Too left, too right, too aloof, or too dumb. Yet, there is a shared understanding that having a non-commercial source of information and entertainment is a valuable thing. And then there's the US.

The left hand of an unseen middle-aged Berliner holds a glass of olives noires aux herbes de Provence from NyonsOlive.
Most German supermarkets sell artificially blackened and pitted olives that are barely edible. Once you have tried quality olives like the ones from NyonsOlive, you stride through these aisles in disdain. The black nuggets will refine salads and even turn a frozen pizza into something better.

NEW: Weโve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noemโs allies and friends.
Itโs part of a money trail thatโs been shrouded in secrecyโand involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Yes, but in the context of 'leaking information'. My theory is that Sรผddeutsche Zeitung pushed 'leak' when they reported about the 'Panama leak' a few years back. They constantly used verb and noun in their German copy. Otherwise: 'Der Milchcontainer leckt.'

It annoys me to no end that the press/journalists fell in love with 'leaken' when there's the great verb 'durchstechen'.
