HerbstCon 2015
I have so much stuff to write. As Usual. Most times I start with something which ends in a huge amount of text. After the writing itself it often happens that I lack of the time for a proper re-structure and grammer/spell. That's a problem. When not sticking to it, well, the text becomes uninteresting aftera few days. I have written about (so it feels like it's off off my mind or chest) and that's it. A habbit I developed from writing diary.
So, Todo for the next weeks: write at least one entry per week. Lets see whether that works. Or not. :)
Let's get started!
So, I was at HerbstCon last week. I've to damit that HerbstCon isn't that special to me anymore. It's more of a routine and I wonder whether I should use the few days of vacation this small Con requries each year for something else. Further, most times the weather during the last year were, well, wet.
But I've admit that HerbstCon did a lot of good things to me this year. I was a lazy fox (eh, can you imagine _me_ being lazy? :) ) and I spend quite some time in the forest around. In fact, this year the weather was the exact opposite of what I was used to whenbeing at HerbstCon: bright blue sky all day long and rain on the day of departure.
There isn't much else to say. I had some (quite) emotional conversatiosn with friends (especially during late hours at the campfire) and quiet time for myself. Thinking about stuff that's overdue.
Oh. And I almost roasted myself. I felt for taking a nap by the campfire. Being outside in the cold air, listening to the cracking fire and the noises of the forest around. Falling asleep just like that. So I rolled myself up in my medieval cape (thick wool) and laid down on the bench next to the fire. I woke up after an hour, wondering... why I'm feel so odd? Why is it so damn hot? Why do I feel like on a damn spitroast? Oh, yes, I remember. I added some logs of wood to the fire before. Not many but... obviously enough. I went up and the headcache of doom greeted me instantly. A cold towel on my neck for an hour brought everything back to normal. Lesson learned.
There was also a sad moment. On the last day, while waiting for my driver to get ready, I was wandering around a bit and found, at a far end of the youth hostel ground, a dog plushie. I first thought it was a real, dead animal. Because, in deed, the plushie was placed on the ground in a sad, theatralic position. There was alreay moss on it's eyes. Like those eyes were already gone. It's odd. I'm a grown up man but still - the view made me sad. I had to think of my own well-loved push animal from my childhood. I was wondering whether there might be a children somewhere, missing it's plush friend. I know that I would have been sad for weeks.
So, yeah, glad that I attended. Oh! It's also been ages that I took some Photos at HerbstCon!
And, OH! Nr. #2. I took measures at the small river that flows near the youth hostel. I think I finally want to install a small water turbin. Dunno. Powering some 3 W LED for the shack where the wood in stored inside. Let's see what I think about that in some months.
Enough Text for today! Have some pictures instead. You can have a look at all pictures over here
My favorites
I call those two Fungus Village and Fungus Village Castle
Like dear Tabalon once said This is the stereotypic picture that you'll find when looking up the 'fly agaric' in a book about Fungus.
There's something I don't get. 11AM. The sky is clear and the sunshines bright. People prefer to sit inside in the dim lit eating room, clinging desperately to their coffee mugs instead of going outside.
So, yeah, sad view.
