Yesterday, Zuleikha & Mitchie wanted to have some ice cream, so we went to an ice café in Groß-Gerau, where Zuleikha’s school is. On the way out, we saw cookie:

After the ladies got their ice cream, I took a photo of the place:

That’s right in the central part of Groß-Gerau, I marked it on Flickr.
Later when we were back, Cookie visited us again, and after having some snack, he looked back at me from the veranda before he left again, like this:
A friend of mine is a journalist, normally he writes all kinds of interesting stuff about motorcycles, cars, and e-mobile devices of all kinds.
On his blog he linked to an article which he published on Heise Online, a big German computer magazine publisher. And these ask for more before they let you enter:
Heise “Paywall”
Last time I looked, they allow more or less the half world to track you with their cross-site cookies and such – that’s why I called this screenshot “Paywall” here. You pay with your data – and this should be forbidden.
Same goes for Spiegel Online, Zeit, and some other very good magazines. Sorry guys, the price is too high. And having to pay to be protected from that spamming business is morally questionable to say the least.
k, I’m out. You lost one reader.
P.S.: just wanted to have a look if their new c’t magazine is out, and what’s in it – but even that is covered by their stupid paywall. So you *definitely* lost one reader, guys. Not the smartest way of doing business, don’t you agree? Keep your crap and your cookies for yourselves… 👎
Last time we were in Frankfurt, I discovered that little store where they sell limited photography prints of all kinds of things. Mitchie and Zuleikha loved it, once inside and browsing, and in the end they bought a smallish (and not so limited) print of the library of Trinity College in Dublin. You can see a bigger version left of them in the shop:

They packed it nicely, and it’s not even unpacked yet:

More about the artist on his website. As always, thanks for viewing.
We’ve had some pretty hefty showers lately, and at the moment it’s still some light drizzle – so Cookie, one of our neighbours’ cats came in twice quite wet already. But after having some dry cat food and some rubbing against our legs, he felt quite comfortable laying down on the carpet in front of the TV set:

Missing Wilma since a while… but since both Mitchie and Zuleikha were sure that Wilma was pregnant, she must have given birth by now, and is probably busy with her kittens…
By now Cookie retired to some quieter area (he prefers Zuleikha’s room and bed), so the birds are back picking up their food outside.
