a couch potato is characterised by sitting or remaining inactive for most of the day with little or no exercise [wikipedia]. it's not that tina would remind me of a potato, but more of a kind of sweet berry, of course. when you are not in the best of health, you may adapt your behaviours to the usual (german) unemployee.

staying in a luxury hotel is usually not included in our daily business. however every now and then you have to treat yourself for a good performance.

it might well be that there are bigger and more splendid bars here in nuremberg. but i'm not sure, if there are more interesting illuminated ones, too.

the basics in life for a positive togetherness are clearly defined: friendship, confidence, sincerity, reliability and then some. for the implementation of the whole environment on earth life itself has defined own rules and dependencies, mostly based on the rules of physics.

the theorem of intersecting lines is only one of the boundary conditions of our daily lives and made for great patterns on the ceiling of the comfortable, little bar where we went today in the evening after dinner with our friends jeen and diet to intensify our extraordinary positive togetherness.

with today's photo i kill two birds with one stone: you get a glimpse of my lovely bathroom and also without a vivid fantasy you are able to get an idea of my simple hairstyle. i took the picture immediately after leaving the bathtub.

while you are passing judgement on the technical implementation of the shot (f.e. regarding focus) and on the seeming length of my nose, please have consideration for the crowning of the shower head... ;-)

actually every week should have only 3 business days. because on thursday all the fathers - and the future ones - will paint the town red most of the employers allow a day off on friday: i really love the spring with its awful lot of feast and bridge days...

after a dinner at a new turkish restaurant in friedrichshafen we headed for the bar "lichtblick" in markdorf. its name has different english translations - f.e. it could mean blink or bright spot. if you look at the pic you can confirm that this translation could be appropriate for this location.

furthermore it could be called ray of hope or silver lining in english what in my opinion fits even better than the direct translation. the bar lichtblick is one of the rare rays of hope in the forlorn nightlife of the area around lake constance.

it´s saturday and thankfully we are still having visitors at the moment.

visitor days are always structured equally: after a tremendous breakfast at home we ask our visitors out, for example for a boating excursion or a trip into the countryside. usually we do not turn our´s back on hardly any pub or local all day long. finally as a result of this approach at the end of the day we come out - surprisingly - not really hungry in a restaurant for the next meal, dinner. pooh!

yesterday we upped our feast once again. as if we hadn´t had enough dishes during the day and evening, we additionally made a stop at an inn in our home village shortly before midnight. after another two drinks i urgently had to visit the public convenience.

inasmuch as sunday had begun already, i took my camera along to the toilet. i have rarely seen such a lovingly, with that much blood, sweat and tears erected handicraft.

unfortunately i´m very terse today, because we are currently celebrating tina´s 27th birthday. ♥

after a very short night - tina´s roster was changed yesterday at the last minute from day to early duty what got me into big trouble - i provided a breakfast service at 4am [instead of 5am] for my wonderful darling. dressing a meal silent in darkness after an almost wakeful night is not that simple how you might think. however the night time activity was worth the effort, tina enjoyed her majestic breakfast.

beside typical female presents like flowers, massage vouchers, books and shoes she has received a cute pink suitcase by now. tina is extraordinary proud of this special case that i handed over in behalf of my mom. every guest has to have a look at the pink lady today.

although my daily shot shows a still life again, yesterday´s golden thread of items with spirit is continued. anyhow a - let´s face it - particular face is depicted.

i´m outty. cu tomorrow, trshptr

btw: my sony sel 50 f1.8 will be dispatched at the end of this week finally. and i have a closer look on the voigtlander 35 f2.5 pancake type II. your opinions to the second one are very welcome!
