Das Leben ist hart

Or "Life is hard".

I rather wish I had my camera ready when I left work today. I was just thinking "what can I blip today?" when a bloke about 60, wearing inline roller skates, skimpy shorts and using ski-poles to balance went whizzing past on the road. As my mind reacted with a "that-would-have-been-a-good-Blip", he disappeared round the corner.

We went off to the Stadtfest - the latest in the year long procession of street festivals - for a look around and hopefully enjoy a glass of sparkling stuff.

Alas. It was all a bit dull. Nowhere near enough food and drink stalls. Especially lacking were the stalls with Sekt.

However, we persevered and wandered round and found today's Blip. A rather sad and tired looking teddy bear sitting on a bench. I could empathise.
