We observed Black Friday with traditional solemnity and reverence. A Quarter Pounder at the food court, a twofer on CKOne at Douglas, and snapped up a sweet deal on an X-Box at the Media Markt. Hope you had a blessed holiday, too.

On a continent with plenty of statues of the great and grand, #Munich honours more modest folk. This statue of journalist Sigi Sommer stands in the Rosenstraße, near his office at the Abendzeitung, where he wrote about the city’s high-life and low-life from 1949-1987. #München #dailywalk

Autumn leaves, autumn light. Growing up in #Adelaide, the changes of season were subtle. Few deciduous trees meant there was no real “fall”; the vintage marked the end of summer. I enjoy the contrast here in #Bavaria, with its distinct autumn.

On Tuesday, for a brief moment, I thought the Rapture had descended upon me. Turned out it was the third glass of wine.

A real Australian summer came Munich yesterday. Unlike the Sth Oz of my youth, German summers are the wet season.The humidity can dull the blue of the sky, but not y’day. The bright sun literally shed new light on the formal, geometric architecture of the Residenz #Munich #München #dailywalk

Like I said, springtime is hands-down the best season in our neighbourhood.
