Life Is Good - Everyone Just Overreacts.

Might just be true.

Happy Easter and good luck for the new summer term - or whatever this season has in store for you.

Hanky, sir?

Genius idea. Plus - if there still are people willing to pay 100 bucks to have the demise of their stock market portfolio embroidered on a handkerchief, things can't be that bad.. yet.

It Never Rains in Southern Germany.

Okay, that's definitely not true. However, Freiburg, my new "home", is supposed to be the sunniest town in Germany. Over the last couple of months I realized what a relative term that is.
To document just how sunny Freiburg really is, I set up a new blog project called "Deutschlands sonnigster Hinterhof" featuring a daily photo of, well, the backyard I see from my room's window. Or rather the area behind that.
Doesn't look too bad today - looks like spring is coming. And even my part of town looks kinda pretty in sunshine.
