Marktkirche In Sunshine

It is as, you can see, a beautiful day. I walked home from work and enjoyed the feel of sunshine on my face. It was also very warm with my jacket on, so it came off for the first time this year.

Other signs of spring were plentiful too; the parakeets were everywhere and being very noisy, the table on the terrace & the fig have lost their protective covers and there are birds singing everywhere. Enough to boost anyone's spirits should they need boosting.

I spent a good hour yesterday playing around with lyrics and here's the first of the new series of Songs Translated Into German For You To Guess What They Are. I can tell you Google translate is not perfect and sometimes I make mistakes (although I make fewer mistakes than Google). The first song has been rendered so:-

Ade an Dich, mein zuverlässiger Freund
Wir haben uns gekannt, seit wir neun oder zehn waren
Zusammen haben wir Hügeln und Bäume geklettert
Auf Liebe und Buchstaben gelernt
Schürften uns unsere Herzen und Knie auf
