Leave piles are good for hedgehogs and insects! Food for the next generation of our spiked but also our feathered friends! Don‘t you have some corner in your garden to keep a little pile?

I definitely left some by the fence. After this, I ran out of daylight.

First bits of snow.

snowwwww! argh arabs and now even germans get it, that evil global warming, when is it my turn?

If Holland get‘s no snow, then maybe singing this beautiful australian Christmas song by Sia about a snowman comforts you a bit. I love that song. Even if it sounds like if she is singing while eating, lol.

we do and already did, just not in the area i live for several years now… but… this might be the year!

thank you, the clip is cute, the music and her voice is uhmm how to say this nicely… oh i know: its exactly as you described it lol

Yes it is. I always imagine she is eating some delicious Christmas cookies. This makes me smiling even bigger every time I notice her somehow strange voice while listening to this song, lol.

No clue how cold it was last night, but definitely below freezing point. Which is fine for me, as I prefer cold over wet weather. Way nicer to walk your dog and it also means less dirt when coming home. Having to wait till 09:30 am, till my neighbour and me are going to walk our dogs through a little deciduous forest close by.

Had a long talk yesterday in the office with a longtime colleague and friend about my plans. He owned a few houses through his life and his son is an architect. He said he wouldn‘t buy it due to the heavy financial costs. I need a smaller patch of land. I know he is right. But it‘s really hard to find such a small piece of soil if you aren’t much flexible regarding the location due to work. Oh well, I now wait what that architect of „mine“ comes up with as a price and maybe some alternative idea.

And despite this song is not about building a real house, it nevertheless pretty much fits, lol.

Also this song I heard this morning for the first time in my life. And I never heard Clemons whistling either, lol. Oh my.

It wasn’t that cold here but weather prediction shows it’s going to get colder next week.

Are you sure about that. Wait until your land is so dry the ground starts cracking.

Sure, until your face freezes.

His music fits with perversion so in a way, you are right, it fits.

You must not be the fan you claim to be or it wouldn’t be the first time for you to hear any of his music.

Advent season is lurking already around the corner and on Saturday I finally gave in to the supermarkets heavy advertising of Christmas sweets like Elisen-Lebkuchen (gingerbread baked without flour and lots of nuts) and thus are more soft, juicy and have a better taste than the normal and cheaper ones) and dominoes candy. Didn‘t open any till now, lol. From the 3 sorts of (Elisen-)Lebkuchen we have in Germany (beside of the quality of the ingredients of course, they mainly differ in the topping which can be chocolate, icing and no topping at all), I prefer the one without any topping. If there‘s no other choice, then I can eat the chocolate variant, but I always ignore the sweetest of all, the iced one.

But main thing to remember is this - always go with the „Elisen“-Lebkuchen! They are very expensive but worth the price and one shouldn‘t eat many of them anyway.

The bad news about that patch of land is, the price went up to 135 € since she was talking with her hubby. The good news is, there is a third party I even know very well interested in getting minimum half of those 1.000 qm2 which are to sell. Which means for me more costs per qm2 but less total costs for purchasing the land, the needed energy infrastructure and building a way for the cars to drive and park.

Let‘s see what that architect says on coming Sunday about the price for that land (no supermarket within the next 9 minutes drive by car and 25 - 30 min. maximum to my work in Regensburg). But I know the qm2 price in the nearby locations are easily over 240 €.

The hubby of that land owner had a serious accident. So todays appointment is canceled.

I will make me a nice cosy day at home, watching Miranda. It’s a great day for it anyway, as it was the coldest night yet and me and my neighbour were glad we made it back into our warm home again from our regular sunday morning dog walk. No sun today so far, but she shined yesterday as bright as possible. Therefore no complaints about that from me this time.
