Corona-Diary: mulled wine hiking at Riddagshausen

I admit it: I can’t hardly cope with the grey and dark season. Almost every day it is dark, rainy and simply unfomfortable outside.

Corona diary: Farewell my summer love

„Farewell my summer love“ was a song by Michael Jackson. Some kind of melancholy resonated with it, now it is here.
