It's a lot of money to spend in one go. But once the kids are kitted out, a lot of them manage to get themselves to primary school independently. Their lucky parents save time, energy, and petrol that must add up to at least €269 over four years, especially if we count the time.

I know I’ve only been in Germany for 8 months, but €269 for a children’s backpack will never not be shocking—especially considering most of the younger children have them.

Went out in the rain for a little bike ride and enjoyed some March sunshine.

I thought painting would be a break from translation, but keeping the grain of the wood visible as I painted over it and covered it up felt familiar. The unfamiliar part was being able to easily make up for my lack of skill and technique by just dumping in a tin of "transparent".


Biked to the fruit and veg shop to collect a mystery box that turned out to contain a litre of chocolate sauce. #BikeItLikeBrigid Happy Imbolc/St. Brigid's Day!

Is this definition peak German? "Rescans sind elektronische Dokumente, die erneut gescannt wurden, zum Beispiel weil aktenrelevante Geschäftsgangvermerke auf dem Papierdokument aufgebracht wurden." And how would you all translate those pesky Geschäftsgangvermerke? (DE>EN)

Twitter pals, @JohnLovesJulie suggested I let those of you who follow Martin Crellin on Twitter know that he died unexpectedly at the w/e. I had known him since 1980. We went to uni together. We are heartbroken. I will tag any of his followers I can recall below. Please retweet.

That does sound like a nifty trick.

The challenge: Moving 4.5 GB of data 10 km in rural Germany (sending photos to the printer). The result: The internet lost. The horse was quicker.
