Chapter 6 – Tiger mortally wounded

The authorby The author

Finally decided to get out a bit as lockdowns are significantly lifting. We wanted to see the mountains again with all other things here being generally insanely busy at the moment. I set off with my son for a day or two near the mountains, we had a great trip down via Lake Constance with beautiful weather. Unfortunately, as we were just deciding where to park we were reversed into. The Tiger had a whole rear end of a car balanced on its front wheel then was twisted forcefully over to the right and there it lay, leaking petrol.

Chapter 6 – “art attack” – Andy Goldsworthy

The authorby The author

This is a small collection of interesting links to art created by Andy Goldsworthy. I am a great admirer of his work, his patience, his detail and apparent love of nature. I have included links to some online collections of his work as well as a catalogue with links to explore at your leisure. At the bottom of the page is a YouTube link to a fascinating film “Rivers and Tides” about some of his work with ice and generally things outdoors which has excellent photography and gives you some idea of the person behind the art work.

Chapter 6 – Health and Illness – Part 1

I have been reading a very insightful short paper in German by Wilfried Belschner about the concepts of health and disease/sickness. I shall try to précis the paper from the original German and find links to illustrate the idea. Translations are mine and the condensation of the original German text is done from my perspective, the appendages and comments to the text are also mine.

Chapter 5 - More life in times of Coronavirus / Politics

Chapter 5 – Life in times of Corona – The new and newer normal

The authorby The author

We´re currently on the back side of what might be termed the second wave in central Europe. The numbers are slowly going down but I have an uneasy feeling when looking at data concerning the proportion of mutated forms of the corona virus. These are now detectable in data, for example, from the southwest federal state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany and seem to be growing exponentially „under the cover“ of total current numbers.
