I commute on the 05.17 from Bremen every weekday, when it runs, and might livestream other trips too.

I've just sent the last fifteen minutes wondering what that persistent rattling noise is. It seems to be coming from my neighbour's apartment, but that cannot be since their bathroom backs onto my room.
In other news: my eggs are most definitely, completely and utterly hard boiled.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 sorry, I tend to disagree. I think this government pulled out only because of the legal problems, whereby they might have lost the case any way.

The weather forecast is good, right through to about 17.00, by which time I will be getting ready to travel back to Bremen. Off to Schwerin today, take a few photographs, enjoy the scenery, demonstrate for equal and acceptable Rights. The usual sort of thing.
Christopher Street Day in Schwerin. I was here last year. It rained. It was an excellent day out - aside from DB problems getting home. And I'm looking forward to it again today.

Two hours around the centre of Osnabrück and time to take a little break. Fish, I think, for a change.
Not a bad town centre: pedestrian areas, loads of bicycles, benches and, what makes a difference, restaurant and coffee shop chairs and stools to sit outside. Very social.

One of the problems of being punctual is that I am always there earlier than everyone else.
Dinner for three in Rot Käppchen, and no idea if we've reserved or not.
Order a beer, everything will go its way.

Another ordinary day in the centre of the city - and it could be any city you care to name. People sitting and watching, waiting for something to happen, or for the opportunity to make something happen. Will we hear music? Is there a concert planned for this afternoon, this evening?

In Hamburg yesterday, I tried to blend in more, and wore jeans.
So incredibly uncomfortable in every single way, so it's back to the kilt for Hannover, and see whether people see me.

Travelling to shoot: Day Two.
Today I'm going to give Hannover a try, see what there is there. Hopefully it will not be quite as clouded as Hamburg was yesterday, but the school holidays are beginning, so anything goes.
With the 08.29 bus to the station and then, hopefully, the 09.17 to Hannover.

Breakfast finished, but for the last sips of coffee.
The Korean waitress chooses Currywurst and chips for breakfast. Four travellers with roller luggage begin their first beer of the day - at least, I hope it's their first, it's 10 am.
Time to prepare my camera, switch off my mobile, and disappear into the crowds. I will be gone for some time.

Making plans for the coming week and it looks like: #Hamburg, #Hannover, #Bremen, #Berlin, #Osnabrück and then the weekend at home.
Then only one which worries me is the trip to Berlin, where I am avoiding IC / ICE / Flixtrain and driving regional. Will all the connections work?
Must remember to take spare camera batteries and a spare memory card with me. Sandwiches might be useful too.

The streets are filled with every conceivable emotion, from joy to sadness, from life to death. You simply have to now where to look or, as with so many things, and certainly with street photography, you have to be at the right place, at the right time....

Welcome to fear, and friendliness. The lions in front of the Dom in Bremen are a masterwork of art and representation, even if the tale they appear to tell is not quite Bible-true and they, carved many hundreds of years ago, do not quite look like the lions we see on the Discovery Channel, or the start of old films in the cinema. …

It is mid-afternoon. The sun has travelled across much of the sky and is now illuminating the arches, the colonnade in front of the Town Hall in Bremen. Tourists cross the cobble-stoned space between the houses of politics, of business and commerce, swinging their arms up to point at the majesty of the Bremen Dom, dodging the red and white trams, snapping…

I think I might have just made a small culinary mistake. The packet says two times spicy noodles. I like noodles, and I like spicy, and I have no problem with eating two portions.
It is not, however, two portions. It is double the spicy strength of normal spicy noodles.
Tomorrow I will replenish the two litres of milk I just drank.

The thing about having a broken foot is that it doesn't really work too well for basic things like moving quickly when your train pulls in - punctually! - at the station.
The next one is in an hour.
I could go to the coffee shop and gorge myself on bread rolls and coffee, but that's what I did for half an hour at the talk I just attended. There is, with the best will in the world, no more room.

The party this afternoon - and it went on after I had left at about 19.00 - was good up until the point where a slightly inebriated couple decided to start talking politics.
When politics come up at any party, it is best to make for the exit, and so I did.

A Sunday birthday buffet for a good friend, out in the countryside near Bremen. Looking forward to several very full plates. The first whisky - it's after midday, so allowed - already enjoyed.

Back home again, not a single minute delay on the train, or the tram. In fact, it all went so well I forgot to buy cooking cream when shopping, I was so surprised.
Tagliatella with Gorgonzola sauce is, therefore, not on the menu tonight.

Out shopping, and the usual panic-buying before a holiday has not yet started. Normally, around midday, it is a battle to get the last slice of cheese, the final grapefruit - and toilet paper is a thing of the past.
I'd rather forego an hour's sleep and trudge the aisles earlier to restock, and avoid the fools.
But I am sure I've forgotten something, as usual.

This morning, on the German news service, there was a report that April was the hottest month since records began, and that temperatures have risen by over 1.5°C since pre-industrial times.
Then we went over to the announcer of the next piece of music, who greeted us with a "and it's another wonderful day out there".
There's the problem, right there.

The saga of the missing parcel comes to an end with more of a whimper than anything else: no searching in dark corners, or exploring deep caves in the jungle.
The package had indeed been handed into the post office, even though the transporter claimed never to have collected the parcel in the first place.
Now I'm just waiting to see whether the supplier shows that it has been collected, and whether the delivery agent admits delivery too.
