On reflection...

if your child has had a late night and wakes up tired, grumpy and moody, it is probably not a sensible idea to let him stay home from Kindergarten. No matter how much he begs.

It stands to reason that if he's too whiney and whingey to be at Kindergarten, then he is without doubt, way, way, WAY too whiney and whingey to be at home!

(Yet another lesson learnt the hard way...)

Brilliant things about Germany No.227

The refreshing honesty and lack of 'choice' when it comes to the purchasing of "feminine hygeine products". 'Cause, let's face it - how much choice do you actually really need?

Clearly, german women are not fools to be seduced by packaging when it comes to the marketing of such necessities.

You'll find no 'limited release' fancy boxes in this seasons colours for them. ('Cause really, who's meant to see the packaging?) Here is just the basic 2 or 3 different products, in 2 sizes, no more than 2 brands per store, and, MOST BRILLIANT OF ALL - available in boxes of 56. Practical and economical.

Weather update...

It's been raining, today. A lot.
