Fresh bread rolls

Saturday morning that means fresh bread rolls for breakfast and today is no exception.

Usually weather permitting I go on the bike to buy the rolls, the bakery being only two kilometres from were we live.

Fresh rolls on a Saturday means the start of the weekend for us, a custom that we have practised ever since my first days in Germany.

The week was uneventful, the weather being not all that good, rain and windy with the temperature being far too high for the time of year, typical influence weather. My wife I had our prevention shots way back in October, we are at an age now were one can’t be careful enough.

Talking about the week being uneventful, I’ve just come back from the vet, Toby our dog has developed a dry cough over the last few days and has been coughing on and off all morning. My wife and I decided it was time for a visit to the vet.

He (the dog) has picked up some kind of virus that’s circulating at the moment, not serious though. The vet prescribed antibiotic and a powder to loosen the cough. Waiting time to see the vet (remember it’s Saturday) one and a half hours, actual time with the vet five minutes, cost 50 Euros.

So with the cost of Trimming and the vet our dog has cost us 100 Euros this week. I told my wife for what the dog costs us I could run a BMW and still have money over for the petrol.

While I was at the vets my wife baked a cake, so it’s relaxing this afternoon watching winter sport on TV with coffee and cake.

Seen some good photos of flowers and plants in some Blogs, thought I would show some photos of flowers that I have taken.

The poppy was taken in the Black Forest. The Enzian in the Austrian Alps

Take care out there were ever you are Tschüss.
