I've just discovered that shredded carrot doesn't float when dropped into coffee. Not dropped on purpose I might add.

It's Fasching (Carnival) locally, so this was the view when I arrived at work today:

Curiously this doesn't happen in my home village, the reason being that this town was part of Austria (don't ask me, I just live here) and is therefore Catholic, whereas my village was protestant, so they have different festivals.

I believe the protestant/catholic split dates back to the Peasants Revolt, where Luther upset the peasants by siding with their masters.

I have been very busy in the garden over the last few days. Yes, it was sometimes slightly damp, and yesterday was a "three fleece day". I ended up with a very pink face and very tousled hair, despite wearing a hat. The wind kept removing my hat.

This morning the puter said I was in Frampton on Severn (aka in the Severn near Frampton) and now it has moved me to Germany. Not sure if I am anywhere near @Andy in Germany.

Sunny, blustery and chilly here chez Casa Reynard.

Very much an indoor day here as the wind is right cold, although I will have to split some logs later. I have been writing and working on the archive. I didn't realise how big a backlog of photos I had to deal with. Oooops.

In other news, Madam Lexi has bum parked in the Aldi cat cave. Or rather *on* the cat cave, as it folds down into a donut bed.

It is almost time for luncheon.

That'll be cos it's Shrove Tuesday next week.

Don't forget to buy some Faschingskrapfen

The harbour is empty ....

Eeerily quiet. . No boats doing nothing. Navy docks empty....
Helicopters gone......

 

[Reynard]

It's actually probably close to 70 prints, and no, I haven't got nearly enough card. I think I may have miscalculated some...

 

[Gravity Aided]

It's looking good for fish and chips on the coast.

Always.

 

[oldwheels]

They often" store " submarines here . Main base is up the coast a bit .

It's very deep water

The nuclear ones being a bit dodgy perhaps with their weaponry having to be stored nearby are found at Faslane 20 miles from a large civilian population who must be regarded as expendable in the event of accident or attack. With the present unrest many living there are a bit uneasy.
They are also found on Loch Long where they now close the roads I think for transport of nuclear missiles from their shore storage.

 

[Roseland triker]

Fair enough.
There quite obvious here and with the helicopters helping with extended radar cover easy enough to see if you look.
Realistically Falmouth and culdrose are an obvious target so most locals just get on with it.
Plenty of nukes here and around Cornwall
