Enjoying my latest Ohrwurm* (HT @sebaso)

You don't need much German to get it. Here's the most important line to remember: "Retro-cool in Mitte". Mitte is a Berlin district in the city's centre.

*Earworm, a loan translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a portion of a song or other musical material that repeats compulsively within one's mind, known colloquially as "music being stuck in one's head". (quoting wikipedia.org .. of course ;))

Who said Windows wasn't stable?

Seriously, I've never had huge problems with the stability of Windows 3.1 on my laptop computer, even now without years of patches and updates the OS works just fine. ;)
The only problem I've got at the moment is my floppy drive which refuses to function. And that sucks big time. I cannot install any new driver, nor other software. So my plans for the weekend to re-install Windows for funsies are challanged by the hardware. Frankly, that's quite disappointing.

In a warm summer night, not everything is as bad as it seems at first sight.

Although I often don't understand the inhabitants ;) #german #hinterland

Has anyone seen my .. ?

I'm being serious. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to start this series but as to losing stuff I'm currently on a hot streak. So here's a small riddle for you guys. What am I missing and more importantly has anyone seen it?

Bare essentials of safety ..


I find it an enchantingly positive demonstration of the safety features but I don't know what makes me smile more, the "bare essentials" or the Australian New Zealand accent that I really like here. :-)

I don't want to be too critical ..

  

.. but is this what summer should sound like? Probably not! Still, it's kind of relaxing. ;)

Is it summer already?

I could imagine it being the only reason why there is a beach in front of our university cafeteria. Also it's remarkable that there are already so many people around on campus ;)
