Handle9: Christmas markets in Germany. Gluehwein and bratwurst. How can you go wrong?

Much too warm for Glühwein this season. I haven't yet brewed it at home.

It was pretty pleasant in rainy Berlin on Sunday.

I know - was there same weekend for a congress and I was wondering about all those believing tourists. 😉

In effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who „someone“ is.

Flicking a Tea Towel to kill a Fly mid-flight. Utterly decimated it, and the resulting SNAP woke my dog LOL.

Not once, but twice. Wish I'd videoed it.

Even Bruce Lee can't do that with his nunchucks! You are a true grandmaster!

Wouldn't you have to hold the phone with your foot to video it ? That I'd like to see, though you'd need to use your other foot to video yourself videoing yourself flicking a fly with a tea towel. I think.

I am not saying I am a superhero, though I would like to point out, no-one has ever seen me in the same room as Batman or Superman! :)

As someone who tends more to the Captain Underpants / Bananaman end of the spectrum, you're certainly my hero 😀

.... then putting the tea towel back on the bench to dry the dishes tonight. 😁

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

That's great news! Congrats. Something extra to celebrate at xmas time. Some of these processes can be the thing of nightmares.
