The blue sky

After the end of grey and dreadful days of winter, I was looking forward to the Spring and Summer as then I would get to go out and go cycling or go for a walk in the sunny weather. But little had I known that this year Europe would be gripped with terrible heatwaves and that I would have to sit at home closing all the doors and windows to protect myself from the outside heat during the weeks of a heatwave in Europe. Temperatures touched 40 and in some place even 42.6 degrees. Europe has never seen such temperatures in the last 100 years. There are no ceiling fans or Air conditioners in any household here as it wasn't necessary all these years. What exactly is going wrong, not only here but all over the world?

When was the last time you just went out alone? When did you just sit in a park doing nothing? Not thinking about what to cook for dinner? Not feeling guilty about not doing the household stuff? Not feeling guilty about not bringing your kid or husband and enjoying some free time?

When we were new in Karlsruhe and it was a long holiday over the Easter in March 2018, T had sprained his neck in sleep and we had to take him to the Emergency clinic in Karlsruhe as everything else was closed during holidays. And what exactly happened and how things happened was documented by me in the post "Awwa" . Cut to July 2019. Awwa - Part 2 happened when we had least expected something like this. How? Read on

21st June is the longest day and also happens to be the birthday of A's grandmother and T's great grandmother. She visited us for two weeks in Karlsruhe and to celebrate her 88th birthday, A planned a trip to Heidelberg. So that we all could go together, we took the train to Heidelberg and it was a very smooth and comfortable ride for all of us. She was in the wheelchair and she walked a bit when it was time to get in and get out of the train or the bus. 4 generations traveling together was so much fun and we tried to capture all the possible moments together.

There is no ideal marriage. There is no ideal man or a woman. There are no perfect sons and daughters. There are no perfect couples.
