Hotel Sinsheim a tie again 153-15

this week at the D+F exhibition in Sinsheim and again one of those silly toilet paper holders where you can’t win points. The rest of the hotel had correct paper holder but because my colleague ordered my room and told the hotel to give me a King-size bed, which they didn’t have, the hotel decided to give me a room with a disabled bathroom….

very funny Torsten….

Sure I won’t kill this lovely rabbit…

My daughter has a great believe in our cat Turbolenzo….I don’t share this trust….look in his eyes. The little bastard

New rabbits!

After Flap died the decission was amde very fast to have a new rabbit. Unfortunately for me not again a German Giant but just a regular sized rabbit.

This came through friends who had a little accident of 6 puppies which resulted in us taking one of them. My wife spoke to a women who saves rabbits that are hurt/thrown away with a little organization called Bunny Hilfe e.V.

so guess what happened? right my wife took a second one with her. What she didn’t realize was the fact that we now had a boy and a girl and of course the boy immediatley jumped on the little girl which resulted in me freaking out sending her to the doctor to ensure we don’t get another bunch of animals. Well the boy is too young to do anything and we’ll have to wait 2 weeks before he can get his little operation.

the “big” one is the boy called Karotte and and the girl is called Möhrchen

Tulip Inn Bodegraven…a tie 142-14

now in the Netherlands where I gave a training. booked a hotel which showed me a street name in Gouda in capitals and behind it in small letters bodegraven. this ment that i was cruising through Gouda until I found out that my hotel was 11KM further down the road…took me ages to come here.

anyhow, they had these strange ugly paper systems where there are 2 rolls inside. I took a look and it was hanging wrong. I couldn’t believe it!

I then recognized that the second roll inside was haning correct so I decided to have a decent 2,5kg job to get rid of the wrong hanging roll.

 

and the second roll made me happy

so we got a tie and and both sides get a point.

Just for Alex :)

As Frau von Panzer is the toughest lady on earth I discovered that shoe uses an extreme loo paper.

tell me Alex, did you bring this with you to Singapore?

with the help of my daughter 141-13

My daughter was on a little school vacation in the youth hostel in Diez.

she had 3 days of fun but didn’t forget to take a picture for the Loo blog.

Back to business 140-13

Back to work, in my case back to Hoofddorp in the NH Hotel where again the paper was hanging right. came in yesterday as driving in Holland is a nightmare so I decided to drive in on sunday which took me 3,5 hours and this would have taken me at least 4,5 hours if I would have driven in on a monday…

As said, another point for the real believers

saying goodbye….

somehow Yara still struggles with the loss of Flap and therefore she not only decorated the grave but also today put some grass/flowers on his grave and set there for a while talking to him…

and a nice grave for Flap

As my daughter was pretty mixed up by the sudden death of Flap she decided where to bury him which was in the front garden besides the little walnut tree we have.

Unfortunately for me the soil is like concrete and filled with stones. Beside that there are numerous roots so it took me a while to get a hole into the soil but heh, it’s for your daughter so you do it.

It is interesting to see how children deal with this. Yara decided to paint Flap and afterwards decorated the grave and now everything is fine for her.

Farewell Flap….

As some of you know we have a bunch of weird animals inclading giant snails, cats and walking stick insects. But we also had Flap a German Giant rabbit weighing some 4+ KG. During the summer we always put him in an outdoor enclosure where he can ran around and enjoy live. Yesterday evening my wife and I were sitting outside sharing a drink when all of sudden we heard a very high screaming animal voice coming from our backgarden and going beisdes the house to the front.

I jumped up and ran to the front were I first found our 2 cats with enormous tails staring in the dark….then I found Flap making weird noises and obviously had a heart attack. we brought him in and tried to relax him but it didn’t help. He passed away shortly after midnight.

I saw an animal running away after one of the cats attacked it but I’m not sure if it was a fox or a marten but that doesn’t really matter anymore. Now let’s see how our daughter reacts when she wakes up…

Farwell Flap, we had 4 years of fun with you and even the breeder was astonished that you made it such a long time.
