Pic by Franzi. The last weekend was rainy and grey in Hamburg – the perfect conditions to lay on my sofa and read a good book. I picked Petra Hartlieb’s Meine wundervolle Buchhandlung (My wonderful Bookstore). The story is about author Petra Hartlieb’s own experience to – more or less by accident – have bought

My T-shirt collection. Pics by Franzi. Last week I counted my jeans – and was surprised that I own ten pairs of them. Despite the fact that I am nearly never wearing jeans. Today I counted my T-shirts. My expectation lay around the number of twenty to twenty-five. Then I counted only twelve. I only
