Another old camera which I find/found absolutely fascinating. Took until I moved here to discover that Carl Zeiss Jena wasn't a double-barrelled name but rather that Carl Zeiss is based in Jena. You learn something new every day (particularly appropriate for me).

It's Gründonnerstag (Green Thursday) so I hope you're all tucking into your boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs and Frankfurter Grüne Soße.

4 days off now. It's going to be great.

Song In German - yesterday's song was Heatwave, not particularly appropriate given that I'm freezing but still an awesome song. Let's see what you make of today's -

So oft passiert es zu schnell
Du tauschst deine Lust für Ruhm ein
Gib nicht die Träume der Vergangenheit aus der Hand
Du müsst darum kämpfen, dass sie am Leben bleiben

That third line is pretty tricky.
