Hello & Moin! - Here you'll find: Quick sketches, mixed musings, poor photos and humbug from the Bay of Wismar and the island "Der Walfisch" (a bird sanctuary) at the southern shore of the Baltic Sea. - So: In what I declare to be my spare moments and when I'm not occupied by being husband, father and freelancer, I like to sketch, take photos and write very short stuff. And walk on the beach.(Oh, and don't mind the typos. There will be a number of them.)

Thank you so much for being a member of our community!
Back from some business related meetings in town.
Brought you a view of Büttelstraße.
Rather a narrow passage than a street to modern eyes, it derives it's name from apparently once in the middle ages being the place where the "Büttel", (low German for beadle / bailiff) had his dwelling.
Die Geschichte d. Wismarer "Kaufhauses Karseboom" u. d. gleichnamigen jüdischen Familie ist Gegenstand d. neuesten Buchs d. Schriftenreihe d. Stiftung Mecklenburg.
"Der durch Adolf Karseboom geschaffene Betrieb überstand I WK und Weltwirtschaftskrise, obwohl insbesondere Karstadt vor Ort für erhebliche Konkurrenz sorgte ... Erst der gnadenlose Antisemitimus ab 1933 zwang Karsebooms Sohn Friedrich 1935 zur Geschäftsaufgabe.“ Autor: Falk Bersch, Vorstellung 31.8.2021 im Stadtarchiv Wismar.

Vielleicht sollte denen, die sich jetzt über ein Vetorecht bei einem möglichen #Klimaschutzministerium hyperventilieren, tatsächlich noch mal genauer erklären, was das in der Praxis heißen soll. In Stadtparlamenten schon erprobt ist der Klimavorbehalt. It's not rocket science.

If you can't pronounce a foreign language word, just calmly fail at it instead of laughing and going "oh this is soooo foreign I sooo can't pronounce this this is soooo complex". The latter comes off as... not nice.
There are 7000+ languages out there, and there's no-one who can pronounce them all perfectly. No need to 'embellish' that with what comes off as mockery.

Netherlands reports 2,136 new cases of Covid-19. They basically managed to increase their daily case rate by 10x and then decrease it by 5x in the same month. It is really impressive how subject Delta is to change in human behavior. We can literally control this virus if we want to and can do so in ways that are not grossly disruptive to maintaining a free and open society.
Erster! Also, mit der ersten Runde Schulbücher einschlagen. Oder war hier ernsthaft jemand schneller?
PS: Die Krone der Schöpfung pennt immer noch und seit heute morgen ohne Unterbrechung da auf dem Schuppendach gegenüber.... Tztz.
Hm, Monday morning.
Second work desk #coffee and some things done, but:
Hard to push against those demotivating things around me:
All those papers on the desk and the stuff in the digital inbox right in front of me and that sight outside, when I look up and through the window.
Will have to have a word with the neighbour, I think.
Nobody can work under those circumstances. 
Moin!
Denn man los.

Forscher warnen: Die jüngsten Flutkatastrophen zeigen das Ende eines stabilen Klimas an. Die Menschheit muss mehr tun, um Schäden durch Extremwetterereignisse zu minimieren, meinen Ban Ki-Moon und Patrick Verkooijen.

Nein, nein. Ignorieren Sie mich, hier gibt es nichts zu sehen. Ich sitze hier nur rum und sortiere gewaschene Socken einer mehrköpfigen Familie. Lieblings"farben": Schwarz und Weiß. In diversen unterschiedlichen, jedoch nicht zu weit auseinander liegenden Größen. Wie gesagt. Für ne Weile gibts nichts zu sehen hier ... ;)
