Te Reo Māori rambles ~

Kia ora, quick disclaimer! I'm still sort of new learning Te Reo Māori! (Teh-*r*eh-awe maah-*r*ee: the māori language) I only started my classes in term 1 and its term 2 currently. (a term is half of a semester, there are 4 terms in a nz school year) so yea! If you happen to know more than me and or spot a mistake I make when posting in or about Te Reo Māori, please correct me! Te Reo Pākehā (teh-*r*eh-awe paah-keh-haa: the English language) is my first language so I'm fluent in that :)

Also Te Reo Māori is kinda like a spinterest atm lmaoo im so excited about hearing the language being spoken and seeing it written around the country and im excited to learn!! Yayy!! Learning the language and Te Ao Māori (Māori ways/culture/traditions) helps me feel more connected to my Māori whakapapa aswell! (fuhck-ah-puh-puh: ancestors/ancestry) I am Māori, it doesn't matter if you're white or mixed. Having Māori ancestry = Māori. Period. In Māori culture we dont believe in blood quantums!!! so im what people call a "White Māori"

anyways onto the yapping!!!!!!

Key:

• (small brackets) = pronounciation and/or meaning

• *r/t/ng inside asterisks* = special māori sounds.

• bold = kupu Māori (maori words)

~

Fun fact: the p sound is very soft! Like the p in "poo" NOT like the p in "keep" does that make sense? another super fun fact: all kupu Māori (cooh-pooh maoh-*r*ee: māori words) end in vowel sounds and never consonants!

Māori vowel pronounciation:

a - "ahh" as in: car, star, bar, guitar, far

e - "eh" as in: lego, leg, peg, said, head

i - "ee" as in: key, bee, see, reach, scream

o - "aw" as in: saw, claw, maw, jaw, NOT as in "oh/low/so/no"!! This is the most abused vowel by English speakers!

u - "ooh" as in: poo, moo, goo, soon, lose, choose, move, room

Digraphs:

Ng - "ng" as in: song, long, pong, singer, rung NOT as in: finger, linger

Wh - "f/ph" as in: phone, food, few, far, physical, philosophy, phile. NOT as in: who, where, when, what, whether, why, while .

note: different Māori dialects sometimes pronounce this sound as a "w". eg: lots of people pronounce "whanganui" as "wanganui" (fah-*ng*ah-noo-ee/wah-*ng*ah-noo-ee) For other sounds: For "R" focus on rolling your 'r' sounds, It's a soft rolled 'r' (NOT as strongly rolled as how Spanish speakers would roll theirs).  the sound you should aim for is somewhere in between an English ‘D’ and 'L'. e.g. like the 'dd' in judder, or the 'tt' in a kiwi accent for 'butter'. You should feel your tongue tip touching near the backof the roof of your mouth. T is pronounced kinda like a sharp "d", but 't' pronunciation varies depending on which vowel appears after it. When succeeded by an ‘a’, ‘e’ or ‘o’, it’s unaspirated (softer, closer to an English 'd'). When followed by an ‘i’ or ‘u’, it is an aspirated 't' (sharper, closer to an English 't'). Hope that makes sense!!!

Tohutō vowels:

(Special vowels sounds written with tohutō (macrons) on them)

ā - exaggerate and deepen the regular māori "a" sound and make sure it stands out from the other vowels! But not too much or you'll look like a fool lmaoo X3 eg: when pronouncing the sound, open your throat and lower the back of your tongue. And say "ah". It should sound different to normally saying "ah". another example is that "tohutō" is pronounced "toh-who-taww" not "toh-who-toh" !!

ē - same thing ^ but with "e"

ī - ^

ō - ^

ū - ^

Sentences !

(Please correct me if I make mistakes or worded the sentence incorrectly)

- " i tēnei ata i whakarongo ahau ki te ngā manu " - this morning I listened to the birds

pronounced: ee tehh-nae ah-tah ee fuck-ah-*r*awh-*ng*-awe uh-hoe key teh *ng*aahh munooh

- "Kei te pēhea koe?" - how are you?

pronounced: Kay teh pehh-heeya kweh

- " Kei te ngenge ahau " - I am sleepy/tired

Pronounced: Kay teh *ng*eh-*ng*eh ahh-hoe

- " Kua haere ahau ki te wharepaku " - I went to the toilet/bathroom

Pronounced: kooh-uh hai-*r*eh ah-hoe key teh fuh-*r*eh-pahk-oo

Ok im done yapping have a good day!!! Ka kite!!

it whacks me out that words like κεφάλι (keh-FAH-lee) translate to ‘cephaly’ when used in english but are ‘seh’ instead of ‘keh’ when the english language has a ‘k’ and it literally could’ve just been called the same thing but instead my greek brain has to go ‘no wait it’s not exactly the same’.

Tagebuch: Bewerbungsgespräche, Augen-Update, Betreuungspause

Arbeit: Wir haben zwei Stel­len zu beset­zen und haben dafür nicht nur eine Men­ge Bewer­bun­gen bekom­men (wie toll das ist!), son­dern hat­ten auch eini­ge Gesprä­che geplant, die alle inner­halb von drei Tagen durch­ge­führt wur­den. Das war schon ein kras­ser Ritt, denn man muss ja beim letz­ten Gespräch das Tages immer noch genau­so auf­merk­sam und zuge­wandt sein, damit man eine mög­lichst fai­re Aus­gangs­la­ge schafft. Das Gute ist, dass wir uns dann auch ent­schei­den konn­ten und die­se Ent­schei­dun­gen auf Gegen­sei­tig­keit beru­hen. Nicht schön sind natür­lich die gan­zen Absa­gen, die man dann auch geben muss. Gehört lei­der dazu.

Rad­kauf: Ich erwähn­te bereits letz­te Woche, dass ich mir end­lich wie­der ein eige­nes Fahr­rad zuleg­te. Mein letz­tes wur­de vor zwölf oder drei­zehn Jah­ren aus dem abge­schlos­se­nen Kel­ler geklaut, seit­dem fuhr ich nur noch Leih- oder Ehe­frau­en­rä­der – und die sehr sel­ten. Schon lan­ge woll­te ich aber wie­der was eige­nes und spä­tes­tens, seit ich her­aus­ge­fun­den habe, dass ich, wenn ich ein­mal quer über das Feld fah­re, in der glei­chen Zeit zur Tages­mut­ter kom­me wie mit dem Auto drum­her­um, war klar, dass ich was tun muss. Das neue Gefährt hat fol­ge­rich­tig einen Kin­der­sitz. Ich hol­te es in St. Augus­tin ab (Men­schen aus der Regi­on wis­sen, wo genau) und fuhr es ein­fach mal per Mus­kel­kraft nach Hau­se. Die 16 Kilo­me­ter absol­vier­te ich in fast genau einer Stun­de. Es kam mir vor wie viel­leicht 30 Minu­ten. So toll!

Augen-Update: Ich war zur Nachsorge-Untersuchung für das stress­lä­dier­te Auge an der Uni­kli­nik. Man beschei­nig­te mir, was ich schon selbst sah: deut­li­che Ver­bes­se­run­gen. Die Was­ser­ein­la­ge­run­gen unter der Lin­se sind fast voll­stän­dig zurück­ge­gan­gen. Das ist super und freut mich sehr, aber es gab auch eine War­nung mit auf den Weg: Das kann jeder­zeit wie­der­kom­men, ich sol­le jetzt bloß nicht den­ken, ich kön­ne jetzt wie­der in den Stress­mo­dus zurück­keh­ren, der das Unge­mach ver­ur­sach­te. Habe ich nicht vor, zumal ein gro­ßer Stress­fak­tor durch die Wie­der­auf­nah­me der Kin­des­be­treu­ung auch von selbst weg­ge­fal­len ist. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie der Delta-Herbst aus­se­hen wird.

Klein-Lea: Apro­pos. Die gro­ße Klei­ne ist immer noch lau­nisch, was vor allem an der Schlaf­si­tua­ti­on bei der Tages­mut­ter lie­gen dürf­te. Wenn sie zuhau­se Mit­tags­schlaf macht, dau­ert er meis­tens deut­lich län­ger und die dar­auf fol­gen­den Nach­mit­ta­ge sind sehr viel angenehmer. 

Som­mer­pau­se: Am Don­ners­tag war aber erst ein­mal der letz­te Tages­mut­ter­tag für fast vier Wochen, denn auch in der Tages­pfle­ge scheint es so etwas wie Urlaub zu geben, ver­rückt. Irgend­wie komisch ist es trotz­dem, denn so lan­ge läuft der Regel­be­trieb mit Voll­zeit­be­treu­ung noch nicht und schon ist es erneut wie­der vor­bei. Im jetzt abge­lau­fe­nen ers­ten Betreu­ungs­jahr hat­ten wir deut­lich weni­ger nor­ma­le Wochen als sol­che, in denen gar kei­ne oder nur Halb­tags­be­treu­ung statt­fand. Zusam­men mit gut andert­halb Stun­den Fahrt­weg pro Tag ist das bis­her eher nicht so gelau­fen wie vor einem Jahr erhofft.

Fakes (pronounced 'Fah-kehs') is a staple in the Greek kitchen, and an especially filling meal. It is traditionally served with a drizzle of olive oil and lots of vinegar. Though the vinegar is of course optional, try it--it lifts the lentils and adds another dimension of flavor!

[xlel-soen]

LITAJA: THE LANGUAGE OF THE XLEL & lYKOSHA

The word "Litaja" means "tongue;" as in English tongue, and is the native language of a race of people who called themselves "xlel" (which means people, as in "human race"). The language has one particular characteristic, which is that every word-ending will tell you what kind of word it is.

An animal word (horse, bird, fish, etc.) ends in "l", a word having to do with numbers, including words like "unity," ends in "h." All verbs end in "k," all adjectives end in "nem" or "m," and all adverbs end in either "teo" or "o".

Also: except for specific words which refer to a person of the masculine gender, or a person of the feminine gender, all Litaja nouns are nongender-specific. There is no such thing as a guardsman, or guardswoman: both are wahtar which means "guard." Even the word teymar, which means "sir" or "madam," actually means "respected one," and refers to either a man or woman, adult or child

The language can be used by anyone who wishes to speak it; it requires no special knowledge or body-parts, nor is t especially difficult to write, using English phonemes, or read. There is a fairly large dictionary/thesaurus.

I will write everything out in English phonemes, giving you a part of that dictionary, with verb conjugation and simple sentence structure. I am not really a teacher; I will only do my best.

The actual writing is runic (like Nordic or Celtic languages are; there are 44 symbols (called jerunas [jeh-rooh-nahs] or pho- nemes/"letters") in Litaja, (which are phonetic, meaning that each symbol has its own sound. Further information (for those who are seriously masochistic) provided upon request.

Sepcial words: Because Litaja was originally the language of an alien race, there are words which have no true significance to people of Earth. For example: the xlel use psionic power as people of Earth use prayer or magic spells, to effect change (to heal, to divine the truth, etc.).

In addition, their word for "god" is a bit different. The word "sha" actually refers to the totality of all spirits, all power, etc., and this "god" does not interfer in the affairs of people. The Xlel believe that, instead, "god" saw to it that people had the intelligence and power to make things happen, if they were willing to pay a price for it.

So those things which are associated with sacred and holy concepts are those where the person connected with them is specially in tune with his or her inner self (that part of himself that "touches" Sha especially well). Power is every- where, and it only requires talent and training to make it work.

Therefore, How Litaja should sound: There are very few hard consonants in this language (k, ch, t, g), but otherwise, you can almost chant their speech, much like the old Norse tongues or even Welsh (especially with its nearly impossible pronunciations at times).

Pronunciation: Unless a different syllable is underlined, the accent goes on the second-to-last syllable (use a as in "cap"/ah as in "father"/ay as in "race"/eh as in "set"/ee as "see"/er as in "father"/ih as in "it"/ai as in "ice"/o as in "on"/oh as in "no"/ooh as in "move"/oo as in "look"/oy as in "toy"/uh as in "ugly"/yoo as in "music").

What follows is a brief glossary of words, complete with pronunciation instructions:

Time (Refer to As Time Goes By)

calendar: pergeras [pehr-gehr-ahs] (lit. "the days") (water) clock: bjalla [b'jahl-lah] year: zeera [zee-rah] month: gelba [gehl-bah] week: vafa [vah-fah] day: gera [gehr-rah] hour: zelua [zeeh-loo-ah] minute: zefa [zeh-fah] "moment": zoda [zoh-dah] second: zida [zai-dah] *now: jyte [j(uh)-yih-teeh] (at this moment) Seasons & Time of Day: winter: kolothe [koh-lah-the] summer: komenthe [koh-men-the] spring: lorevale [loh-reh-vah-leh] fall: simame [sihm-ahm-meh] dawn: kwacha [kwah-chah] day: joura [jow-oorah] evening: abanda [ah-ban-dah] midnight: oulma [owl-mah or ool-mah] generation: nomrat [nohm-raht] (16 years) past, the: vithbla [vith-blah] present, the: kidarsa [kih-dahr-sah] future, the: kzuna [kuh-zoohna] Common words: (You) be (the one who's) careful: everjogher (ste) [eh-vehr-joh-gher] "Hi": huja [hoo-jah] (I'll) see you: Tey(tav) vaar(ik) (stal) [Tay(tahv) vahr(rihk) (stahl)] Hello/Greetings: Hujatins [hooh-jah-tinz] Good-bye: see "hello" Hey!: heej!

The turning of the seasons is an important part of these peoples' life, as it would be with any race. And yet: no sexually explicit word will ever be used as an insult, except perhaps the immortal phrase uttered in a defunct television show about another alien race ("Your mother mates out of season"). And, since such things are important among the Xlel, some "sexual" words (etc.) follow below: desire/lust: lubyata [loob-yah-tah] spring cycle: reoke [reh-oh-keh] breeder: ruasir [roo-ah-sir] (from ruasek: to breed: male or female) Nongendered nonbreeder: soruas(nem or nir) [soh-roo-ahs-(nehm/nihr)] "Hermaphroditic" nonbreeder (gender): ilasar [ih-lah-sahr] heterosexual: sosam(nem or nir) or see "breeder" [soh-sam-nihr] homosexual: koxsamnir/samnir [koks-sam-nihr/sam-nihr] bi/pan-sexual: iendar [ai-ehn-dahr] Hermaphrodite: siwosa (essentially: both) [sih-woh-sah] female (gender): wosa [woh-sah] "sheathing": minbayexa [mihn-bah-yeh-ksah] to sheathe: (Polite) bayexak [bah-yeh-zahk] "blade": minyexa [mihn-yeh-ksah] male (gender): siwoa [sih-woh-ah] childhood (age): tyife [tuh-yih-feh] adolescence: tylerife [t'yai-leh-rih-feh] adulthood (age): tyhinfe [t'yai-hihn-feh] noncopulatory sex (fore/after-play): frigkak [frihg-kahkk] male "husband" neela [nee-lah] lesbian "wife:" nina [nai-nah] (Note: these are not marriages, but among samnir, is recognized as a relationship and legal). FAMILY AND CLAN-ORIENTED TERMS: Xlel group together in clans (the natural extension of a wolfpack, actually). All clans are patrilinear and patrilocal, so that each term refers to which side/family they come from, as well as their importance as far as (clan) alliances ar concerned.

Proper names come from many things: the names of plants (lobea/loh-bee-ah> rose, jlana/j'lah- nah> daisy), animals & birds (shangral/shan-grahl> eagle, kopiral/koh-pih-rahl> greyfox, shalal/shay- lahl> weasel), the elements & nature (lee/leeh> wind, kzala/k'zah-lah> fire, mara/mah-rah> sea, sidra/sih- drah> star), seasons (kolothe/koh-law-theh> winter, komenthe/koh-men-theh> summer), qualities both desirable and not-so-desirable (like sarvan/sahr-vahn> stubborn, evade/ee-vah-deh> beautifullyblossoming, sadhe/sah-deh> simple, pure), and especially colors (ghura/ghrr-rah> ravenblack, abletta/ah-bleht-tah> white, mare/mahr-reh> dark or twilight, ragila/rah-gih-lah> silver-colored), etc. You will actually find many animal names here, as many other languages do, as well as plants, etc. Names are all highly symbolic and (usually) appropriate to its possessor. Some names have -- in due course of time -- been altered to become other names. Examples: Kahn, meaning strength, can become Kang. Koraxal, meaning raven, also can be Korax (usually this is due to varying dialects in different areas, and other planets). Other alterations occur in the merging of two (sometimes three or more) words to become one name. One example: Shadakk comes from sha (meaning god) and dokah (which is the number 8. Eight is a sacred number to them, for it is the four elements and the four seasons entwined). Another example: Pohmir comes from pohkene (meaning dark or lightlessness) and lianmir (which means grey or silver-tipped, as in fur). Always, when names are made this way, they are ALL highly symbolic and appropriate to the possessor. In native Xlel culture, an adult will have a total of five names in his or her lifetime. The first name is given at birth by his or her mother --- indictative of her first impressions, or her wishes for his future; the second name is given by the youth's father at eight years old --- also indicating his impressions, or the child's deeds by that age; the third name is given to the adolescent, by the clan's leader, upon hitting puberty (usually at fourteen or fifteen years of age) --- this gives the clanleader's impressions of the young adult, and is often the "use" or profession's name (a name known by all, sometimes instead of the birth or 1st name). The fourth name is a secret, spiritual name and is said to be given by their nameless, uncaring god called Sha in visions or dreams (in fact, this is one of the most important days of their lives, where they will go off by themselves, into a locked room or out in the wilds, to find this name. And finally, there is the clan name, which they are given provisionally at birth, and earn the right to bear at the age of eight (after they pass a survival test & physical/psychic examination), as well as the right to wear the clanpin thereafter. Among these people, the first name is one's "use" name (the one "used" by all); the second is known among friends and other intimates and the third name is used in ceremonies and rituals, and some artists, writers and musicians often use this last name on their compositions. Often, parts of 2 or more names can be combined to make one (these names are usually reserved for highly- ranked & psionically powerful individuals). In this culture, parents are quite fond of playing "tricks" with words, especially in naming their most powerful and talented people. So alliterations of words sacred or otherwise important to the way of life are also used, usually for highly-ranked or special people (like vangar [fanged one] or aular [silver-tongued] as a kenning for wolf or dog, for example). A short glossary of names common to this language follows at the end of this chapter. In addition: one might also look through all the other chapters and find appropriate words there [NOTE: Almost any name might also have an "r" or "gher" added to it (or it can be removed if here).

Strict translation: I-subject you-object gave I-do the horse black. Or: I give you the black horse. The first noun or pronoun seen will be the subject, the second is the object, and any adjectives which relate to the subject or object. After that comes the verb & verb-tense, followed by any adverbs needed, and then any noun associated with the verb (what I gave you & what it looked like). Very often, the subject is left out, because it is assumed in the verb tense (I do, you do, he/she does, we do, they do, you-all do). And sometimes, the word "the" is left out. So the sentence might really be: Teytav zhurek sta opall-ghura. This assumes you know that "sta" means "I-do" and that you know that there is no need for the word "the." In a simple question: the verb and the verb-tense come first, followed by the subject (plus adjectives) and then the object-noun. So a question might read: Stu kakk [sertav] [pernem] kolunel? Strict translation: ?we-do to-want [we] [the] dogwolf? Or: Do we want the dog? All verbs are accompanied by a verb-tense. Verb-tenses are conjugated, like so: Present tense: I do: sta you do: ste he/she/it does: sti we do: sto they do: stu you-all do: sty (pronounced "yuh") Past tense: I did: stak you did: stek he/she/it did: stik we did: stok they did: stuk you-all did: styk (pronounced "yuh") Future tense: I will: stal you will: stel he/she/it will: stil we will: stol they will: stul you-all will: styl

GREEK LENTIL SOUP - FAKES

How nice it is [for a while] to live in an international crowd - I am collecting some of the national dish recipes from various countries, that are either already vegan or can be [easily] veganised. This time I am off to Greece [I have never been there myself, please, when is the season of cheap tickets and nice weather?]! Fakes (pronounced 'Fah-kehs') is an especially filling meal, oh yes. It is traditionally served with a drizzle of olive oil and some vinegar. I did not have one, so this time I tried without.

You will need:

Brown or red lentils (leave them in a pot of water for a few hours to soak), 

Carrots,

Optional - a bit of potato, a bit of paprika,

Onion, garlic,

Tomato paste/puree,

Seasoning - salt, pepper, curry, smoked paprika (will give a sensation of “fake meet”),

Olive oil,

Lemon juice, red wine vinegar

Heat up olive oil in a saucepan. Add garlic, onion, and carrot; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent. Pour in lentils, add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until the lentils have softened, depending on the type of lentils you took it would be 20-40 min. Add additional water if the soup becomes too thick. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and red wine vinegar to taste. When serving, drizzle some fresh lemon juice!

Enjoy! Καλή όρεξη!

Elternzeittagebuch, Woche 4

Nanu, da ist die Hälf­te der Eltern­zeit ja schon wie­der vor­bei‽

Montag, 15. Juni 2020

Klein-Lea schläft drei Stun­den am Nach­mit­tag. Die­ser längs­te Wachs­tums­schub aller Zei­ten treibt selt­sa­me Blü­ten. Ich weiß schon gar nicht mehr, was man mit so viel Frei­zeit macht. Klar, erst ein­mal ein Nicker­chen. Danach lese ich. Sicher, ich könn­te auch was Sinn­vol­les™ mit der Zeit anstel­len, aber das ist ja auch nur Defi­ni­ti­ons­sa­che.

Dienstag, 16. Juni 2020

Ein TOBE, ein Tag ohne beson­de­re Ereig­nis­se. Es wird schon lang­wei­lig. Abends gibt es dafür eine will­kom­me­ne Abwechs­lung für die geschun­de­ne Fan-Seele.

Mittwoch, 17. Juni 2020

Wir machen einen Aus­flug zum Ein­kaufs­park in der angren­zen­den Nach­bar­stadt – Baby­la­den, Dro­ge­rie­markt und Bau­markt ste­hen auf dem Pro­gramm. Als Win­del­bom­ber und mit ein paar Säcken Erde keh­ren wir zurück. Danach spa­zie­re ich mit Klein-Lea noch her­um.

Donnerstag, 18. Juni 2020

Ein blö­der Tag. Muss auch mal.

Freitag, 19. Juni 2020

Ein Fehl­kauf im Baby­la­den zwingt uns noch ein­mal in den Nach­bar­ort. Der ein­fa­che Fuß­weg beträgt etwa 45 Minu­ten, war­um also nicht mit einem Spa­zier­gang ver­bin­den. Gesagt, gelau­fen.

Ja, nor­ma­le Tage sehen zur­zeit so aus, dass der Umtausch eines Pro­duk­tes unser Tageshigh­light bedeu­tet. Okay, abends haben wir noch gegrillt. Ich bekom­me ein Gefühl für das Rent­ner­le­ben, aller­dings als Rent­ner mit zu wenig Schlaf.

Samstag, 20. Juni 2020

Auf nach Bin­gen! Mei­ne bes­te Freun­din woll­te eigent­lich ihren run­den Geburts­tag groß in ihrer Hei­mat fei­ern, aber Coro­na mach­te auch ihr einen Strich durch die Pla­nung. Durch einen wirk­lich dum­men Feh­ler von mir und vor allem dem Hotel konn­ten wir unser Zim­mer aber nicht mehr abbe­stel­len. Das kam so: Ich woll­te nett sein und das Zim­mer mit Stor­nie­rungs­op­ti­on im Vor­aus bezah­len. Lei­der über­sah ich den klei­nen grau­en Hin­weis, dass vor­aus­be­zahl­te Buchun­gen gene­rell nicht stor­nier­bar sind. Die zwei Euro für die Stor­no­mög­lich­keit bekam ich zurück, das Zim­mer aber nicht. Wozu auch, was soll schon schief­ge­hen! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also auf nach Bin­gen! Ich war da schon lan­ge nicht mehr und so ein Kurz­ur­laub, so ein wenig Abwechs­lung tut uns bestimmt gut. Wir las­sen uns nicht stres­sen, lau­fen vor Ort am Rhein ent­lang und durch die Stadt mit über­ra­schend viel Leer­stand, ärgern uns über ein ver­ranz­tes Siebziger-Jahre-Zimmer für 180 Euro (kein Tipp­feh­ler) und gehen abends in einer Piz­za­ria essen. Es ist nicht nur unser ers­ter Restau­rant­be­such seit Coro­na, es ist auch der ers­te ech­te Restau­rant­be­such mit Klein-Lea. Es klappt her­vor­ra­gend, wir sind sehr begeis­tert.

Zur Fei­er des Tages kau­fen wir uns noch eine Fla­sche Wein und exen sie auf dem Zim­mer, wie so Jugend­li­che auf Klas­sen­fahrt.

Rhein-Nahe-Eck mit Mäu­se­turm

Im Vor­der­grund ein Ein­druck aus der Innen­stadt, dahin­ter der Turm der Burg Klopp

Sonntag, 21. Juni 2020

Das Schla­fen in frem­der Umge­bung ist natür­lich schwie­rig für die Klei­ne. Um zehn vor sechs ist sie wach und wir damit auch. Und das mit unse­rem Kater! Also, dem alko­hol­indi­zier­ten, nicht dem ech­ten, der zuhau­se geblie­ben ist. Eine gute Sei­te hat das aber auch: Wegen der Hygie­ne­vor­schrif­ten sind die Plät­ze im Früh­stücks­raum sehr begrenzt. Wir bekom­men pro­blem­los einen Tisch, aber als wir gegen 8:30 Uhr gesät­tigt raus­ge­hen, steht eine lan­ge Schlan­ge vor dem Raum und war­tet auf Leu­te wie uns, die ihr Mahl been­det haben.

Der frü­he Tag nutzt uns wei­ter­hin, vor dem gro­ßen Besu­cher­an­sturm durch zu sein, als wir mit der Fäh­re rüber nach Rüdes­heim machen, zum Nie­der­wald­denk­mal hoch­fah­ren und dann in der Innen­stadt eine Run­de dre­hen, inklu­si­ve einem Gang durch die berühm­te Dros­sel­gas­se. Auch zu frü­he­rer Stun­de ist schon über­all genug los und natür­lich trägt kaum jemand eine Mas­ke im öffent­li­chen Raum. Wir eben­falls nicht, ich will erst gar nicht so tun, als wären wir bes­ser als der Rest. Immer­hin ver­su­chen wir, einen „guden Abstand“ zu hal­ten.

Wir fah­ren am frü­hen Nach­mit­tag den Rhein hoch zurück und sind sogar recht­zei­tig wie­der zuhau­se, um Fuß­ball zu sehen. Lei­der.

Oben am Nie­der­wald­denk­mal über Rüdes­heim

Dros­sel­gas­se Rüdes­heim

1 Gude = 1,5 Meter; gilt aber nur für den Abstand zwi­schen Män­nern und Frau­en
