Blip-Klischee

Ein Klischee is a cliché and is pronounced pretty much the same too.

Snowdrops, however, are "Schneeglöckchen" or little snow bells.

A wild day - when I got up it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale, when I got to work it ebbed away and at half past seven I was sitting looking at clouds in a blue sky.

It is light again in the mornings.  I do love that.  Ok only after I've been up for an hour and a half but it's getting better.

Which is more than can be said for trying to configure a Microsoft SQL Server database.  I just can't build a connection to it from another server.  Even our SQL Server expert can't see what's going wrong.  

After 4 hours of that today, I gave up and headed home.  After Weiberfasching yesterday, it seems it was the turn of the kids to get dressed up.  There was a small child dressed as a dragon on the bus on the way home tonight.  And loads of others too.  The standout being the huge bloke with the Brunhilde helmet and German flag coloured pigtails.
