On Tuesday, for a brief moment, I thought the Rapture had descended upon me. Turned out it was the third glass of wine.

For Adelaide pals. Punk left me cold the first time ‘round, but lately I’ve started to dig it. Clearly, others feel the same; after almost 50 yrs, my guys from Black Chrome have kept and grown a cult following. Dark, cynical, nihilistic, brilliant. BYO alcohol & Zoloft. #punk

Growing up in #Adelaide, the changes of season were subtle. Few deciduous trees meant there was no real “fall”; the vintage marked the end of summer. I enjoy the contrast here in #Bavaria, with its distinct autumn. #dailywalk #Munich #München #Haidhausen #Lehel #autumn

Halloween revellers. Or as we say in Bavaria, Protestants. #Munich #München #Munichbymorning #Halloween #Reformationstag #annualpost

Here in toney #Munich, it’s quite possible to play #Whamageddon with classical music. How long before I get ambushed with The Nutcracker? My husband and I call the game Tchaikatastrophe.

We observed Black Friday with traditional solemnity and reverence. A Quarter Pounder at the food court, a twofer on CKOne at Douglas, and snapped up a sweet deal on a 2TB X-Box S at the Media Markt. Hope you had a blessed holiday, too.

Proud to be a contributor!
