Various - Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection 2024 Vol 16

Awake early and took advantage of the adjoining room to sit and listen and read...

The nose looked no better...

Well, ok, a little better without this...

Look away now...

Better views...

Good pics of the wedding we missed, back on 4 May, were enjoyed...

Breakfast and a seat in the garden...

Jorg was ready for action...

We drove into Kassel and parked at his office...

...before walking round to Scheibenbeisser - still going strong after all these years...

Both Jorg and I found a couple of things, while Anne and Manu put brave faces on matters...

My haul, for 10 of your European Euros...

12 discs of top old jazz...

...and one of top more recent jazz...

A walk along the Königsstraße...

...including a look around the unpictured flea market...

...followed by refreshments at "Adam" on the Friedrichsplatz...

Also enjoyed by me, once the waiter finally remembered I'd ordered a beer...

Jorg's new box of Donald Byrd (the entire contents of which I'm pretty sure he already has) was admired...

...under the hot sun...

Walking on, the remains of the Documenta, for which we last visited Kassel two years ago, were still visible...

We walked through the Königsplatz...

...and down to Abbey Road Plattenladen - which looked exactly the same as it did, here, in July 2022...

I managed to get the owner to shave 3 Euros off the price of this six CD box of contemporary classical music (to which I am listening, in the very early hours of Monday 26 August, as I write this up)...

Yowsah!

Into the shopping mall and a couple of purchases by Manu but Anne found nothing...

Then, to the rooftop cafe...

...for drinks and waffles...

...before the walk back to the car...

I spotted this ad for Otto Katalog, on which I worked, 45 years ago now, in that Munich...

Home for an evening of grilling, beers and chat...

...including a welcome visit from Godson Ansem and his lovely girlfriend, Saida...

Some concern was shown about the massive thunder & lightning accompanied rainstorm which ensued...

But the food and beer comforted and it was a thumbs up for the evening...

We talked into the night before eventually retiring ready for what tomorrow might bring...

Highlight of the Day : Shopping...
