Last weekend we went to admire the wonderful men and the few women, who flew in their flying machines from six meters over a high ramp into the Lake of Zürich. There was not much flying, but the fun this Saturday in July was immense.

Circolino Pipistrello
My youngster (nearly 10 years old) had had a project week at school. For a week the entire school had rehearsed a circus act and performed it on the Saturday. My youngster had lived the whole week only for the circus. On Monday they put up the tent and helped with the installation. They rehearsed the act and at home he had practised diligently. On Friday he was inconsolable. That was not logical, because the performance was not due until Saturday. I had expected that he would be looking forward to it, that he would have stage fright, but somehow sadness did not fit into the picture.
How do I sell properly
I and my youngest (nearly 10) love the Playmobil Land in Zirndorf bei Nürnberg. Firstly it is just by Playmobil itself and the fact that my youngest loves playing with the figures. In this leisure park one can do what one can do scarcely nowhere else. Read More »
Leonie’s three kids and puberty
Recently, I had a coffee with Leonie. Leonie has three kids, all of them in puberty. This is a challenging period, when many things get out of balance. Not only with the adolescents themselves, but also in the relationship between them and their parents.
Gavril
Gavril was popular. No wonder. He was funny and entertaining, he liked to laugh and could make other people laugh. One wanted to be in his company. He was a welcomed guest and did not miss any party. One of his trademarks was that he left the party as the last one after having helped tidying up.
He had everything one could wish for. A family with two children, a little house in the outskirts of the city, a job with which he earned enough in order to do the things he liked and many friends. Read More »
Alma and the law which does not tolerate any exceptions
Alma had achieved a lot of which others can only dream of. A career in a medium sized company up to the management and this as the only woman. An intact, functioning family with a diligent husband in a similar job position as she had. An unproblematic child, which brought home good marks, behaved itself and hardly ever gave reason to be angry.Read More »
Loneliness of a working mum
When the job of the hermit in the Tamina canyon was advertised, seven people come forward despite the rather low salary. I can understand it. I am almost never alone respectively the few minutes of being alone have to be planned meticulously and strictly implemented.Read More »

2 on the back
In the last years I listened to several of my colleagues. They are successful and well respected men, who often told me with tears in their eyes the stories of their marriages, their relationships. The stories were about women, who had informed them out of the blue that they did not want to continue living like that and that they would move out tomorrow or wished that the partner moved out as soon as possible. My colleagues were shocked and not at all prepared for such news. They did not understand the world any more. The glass cube of the relationship seemed broken and beyond repair. Read More »
CRY FOR HELP – my bike, my BMC beauty was stolen
My first encounter with a mountain bike was years ago. A friend of mine borrowed one to me and we went for a bike tour together. After a short time I silently cursed the vehicle. It was terribly uncomfortable!! The saddle reminded me of a torture instrument and I did not know how to get out of this predicament. I could not sit without pain and to continue biking while standing was very tiring. It was terrible. Read More »
