It sucks! Meanwhile, my foot is actually quite good again and I would like to go again, only my sore throat does not. Every time he no longer hurts and I ne larger round or two (so 100 - 200 km) drive I have 2 days later again sore throat. Well, so much for that, it doesn't make much sense to drive further again. My doctor prescribes me antibiotics, also helps only until the next tour. So I need to see a specialist. So now I am condemned to wait. What should I do in the meantime? Will it get better quickly and I can continue? Or will it be nothing and I can try again to find a job for the next 4 - 5 years? Questions over questions, decisions over decisions. Well, in the meantime I can tackle things again that have been lying fallow for a long time. I become an "urban gardener" on our huge panoramic balcony (every evening a charming sunset). I'm already getting "homesick" thinking about leaving that one soon, whether for touring or work reasons. It's fun, if ecologically not very useful, at least a few insects pass by. There probably the village child in me comes through again. In addition, a little "paint"/"tinker"/"write", creativity live out. I like it very much, especially because it means spending time with my wife. And the results can be seen, I think. Something new. (I was even asked if I would sell the pictures. To be honest, the pictures are not the problem, the frames are pretty elaborate and the material costs are high. Even the cost price barely crosses my lips). Play the househusband, shopping, cleaning, laundry, etc. the Wednesday morning once a week, easy! And make my wife happy. And go briefly for a Dream Theater concert in Berlin. I must have heard 10 concerts of this band, the one in the Admiralspalast in Berlin was the best since 98 (falling into infinity in the Kongresszentrum B Stuttgart). Including "opening act" Devin Townsend, who is awesome and went out of my sight so far. Thanks Lars! Is it because of the Covid break, or why did I think it was so great? And biking? Well I just explore the beautiful northern Odenwald (so beautiful there, really), Spessart, Taunus and Vogelberg, in short doses. Somewhere by train and slowly (!) back by bike. In the meantime I read myself into a new topic, write applications, papers and exposés, prepare lectures and repair other people's bikes and argue with car drivers on facebook. Do I really want to stop using the platform? Why am I arguing with these people? You won't be able to afford your car soon anyway! And you are also against alternative energies and drives. Status Quo is your party. Have fun with the change, it would be easier for you if you were "open minded"? Anyway, until then I remain as an open-minded "alternative mover" target and hate figure. Oh, I (as a soulless, tax-wasting, childless, red-at-every-light-driving, night-without-lights-driving, all-rules-misobeying, on-the-road-driving, pedestrian-endangering victim and Wa%&er) can take it! Whether in real or virtual life. I`m straight edge, and that means, I'm better than you! (first google, then gasp 😉) In this sense, have a nice day!
