A Bit Behind.

I'm getting a bit behind.  I have just fniished writing the German story from my trip just before last Christmas.   After that, I'll have to start writing up Egypt.  I'm also headed for Southern Spain and hope I can get Egypt written up before I go. Plus, I have another trip to make in the UK before Spain.  

Thinking back to Germany, I spotted the three characters above in earnest discussion in Regensburg. I didn't ask what they were discussing. I preferred to imagine their conversation ... but I do wonder what it was!

That discussion probably had something to do with salaries and labor laws!

GB said...

You could turn that one into a competition, Jenny!

JO said...

Wish I hadn't had that cup of coffee ...

Friko said...

I am looking forward to your report on Germany. Lucky you, why can't it be me who goes to Germany!

I have never seen anything like these three characters when I was still in Germany. Perhaps they are fairy tale figures about to perform somewhere and are simply discussing strategy?

Jenny Woolf said...

Oh, I thought all Germans dressed like that :)

GB said...

Thanks for that comment, Jenny. You made me laugh out loud as I was drinking my morning cuppa!

Jill said...

Now that is one very interesting threesome.

Writer Lady said...

They were probably discussing where to meet after work for a beer. That's putting words into their heads, but it seems likely, doesn't it?

CARLOS said...

I think the lemon tart was asking for directions and to not know this bear called headless bear, and there struck up a conversation .... a greeting.

Exchanging recipes??!! :)

aka Penelope said...

I think lemon is asking the other two if they’ve run into apple and orange. :)

The Clever Pup said...

I love Regensburg. Did you stay at one of the "Orphees"? A lemon, a bear and the Leaning Tower of Pisa...hm. Oh my goodness. The lemon has her phone out.

Dominic Doherty said...

Hahaha... this could be a scene from a film :-)
Looking forward to your travel report.

Rita said...

Gosh! What a funny picture!! Yes, I wonder!! ;)

Rurousha said...

(^_^)! That one on the right looks vaguely related to Pikachu. VERY vaguely. Looking forward to all your stories!

Christine said...

Wonderful!!! So unselfconscious! Of course everyone has to have lunch or dinner after work!

H A R R Y G O A Z said...

My coffee squirted out of my nose!

Val said...

haha yes i wonder what on earth........... Loved your pictures and tales of Egypt - so fascinating because i have heard mixed reports, but Egypt nudges the imagination. i like the picture of the Nile. thanks

Vagabonde said...

Thanks for coming back to my blog. Last time I saw your blog you had some great Mozart chocolates on your post, maybe last October.
It was so nice looking at your pictures of Cairo. I have been to Cairo three times but each time to visit my first cousins who are Armenian-Egyptians, so even though they showed me around I took few pictures with my film camera. I’ll try to write a post on Cairo but like you I am behind writing travel posts. The first time I went to Cairo the police took my film because I had photographed a bridge – at the time I had a 35 mm camera.
I’ll read your Germany reports – I have only been to Baden-Baden and Stuttgart there.

Librarian said...

Yes, here in Germany, we all dress like this. Today, for instance, I am wearing my coffee mug ;-)
Happy writing, and I am sure you'll wrap it all up before your next trip.

Angela said...

As lemon is checking her schedule on her phone, they are probably saying - When shall we three meet again...? hahaha, so funny. Yes, all Germans dress like that. I am usually an oak tree.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I`m glad I found you this way.

Adullamite said...

Lovely spot Jenny! Difficult to know what they were saying, foreigners talk in foreign!

nick said...

Lemon: "Look, we've spent two hours trying to find this frigging fancy dress party, and we're none the wiser. Why don't we just call it a day and go down the pub?"

Alan Burnett said...

Great picture - just crying out for a speech bubble. And where in the UK are you heading for. Up north, I hope.

elizabeth said...

Bear meets pisa meets banana --lots of possibilities....!

jabblog said...

That is hilarious! Who said Germans don't have a sense of humour?

see you there! said...

For some reason all I can think of now is lemon pie.

You're really a big traveller, Jenny. And what you picked up were not ordinary. I look forward your next trip.

lina said...

LOL at the comments above on that photo of yours, Jenny! :)

Wow! You sure have a packed year traveling, it seems. :)

Valentina said...

:) Funny picture!
Let me know if you need some advice with your trip to southern Spain

Malyss said...

It could be a great subject for a writing class! A lemon, an italian tower and a bear(?)(dog?) talk together: imagine what they're talking about?..

Sara said...

That must be quite a conversation!

I like your header...because now I know what crocuses actually look like when they begin to show up. I've read about it in novels many times...we don't seen to have them here for some reason. It's an amazing sight, and I can imagine it in snow too.

sprinkles said...

Looking forward to reading about your time in Egypt. My brother was sent there when he was in the military. All he really said about it was that it was dirty.

Stephen Hayes said...

Great blog. Just found it but I'll be back.

Murugi Njehia said...

Haha..! I can only imagine what the coversation was! great post Jenny. :)

language is not a barrier for the travel enthusiast...

Rachel Cotterill said...

I'm a good ... *counts* six months behind on travel posts, I have most of my Baltic trip to write up. Although I have done some from November's trip to Turkey.

The Foolish Aesthete said...

This is a riot! We've got the animal, vegetable and mineral. Well caught!

Kirsty said...

How bizarre! It does look like very serious business though!

floweringmama said...

Ha ha, maybe union labor laws!

stardust said...

Maybe they are talking about what to do, where to drink, after a day’s work. You’re having busy days ahead, Jenny. Look forward to your writing more about Egypt.

Some of these comments really made me laugh! :D

The mind boggles!

Good catch! This is a interesting situation.
Have a nice day!

Interesting post with interesting situations...

nursemyra said...

Gooseberries! Oh my, I haven't had any since I left NZ

bill lisleman said...

Returning the visit you made to A Few Clowns Short. I scrolled down and spotted this most unusual picture. Not too often that we have serious discussions with a lemon. LOL
