Just had a telephone conversation with an employer in Stuttgart and now have an interview on Aug 1st.

Not sure whether to be excited or not, especially as the other place is in the southern Black Forest and on the French/Swiss border. There's big advantages and disadvantages to both.

This isn't the only criteria, but as well as being prettier, the Black Forest option is easy to cycle commute, whereas in Stuttgart I'd have to use the tram right through the city centre, or deal with city traffic and a monster climb every evening.

That's the second lot of beetroot you've had past its sell by date. Does it look, and feel okay?

It's lost some colour and little bubbles have appeared in the surrounding liquid. Maybe it's starting to ferment.

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...

That's one issue, but then we're in the second most expensive city in Germany anyway so that won't make a lot of difference.

Also in theory I could cycle to work using the infrastructure there for nothing whereas if I work in Stuttgart I have to get a season ticket for public transport.

In other news my desk is buried. Again.

Neighbour's garden has a nice new pond, after yesterdays rain. We have a few puddles. It's what happens when they build an estate where a field used to be.
