Scenes of a Filling Station Nature and was James May Correct on Mexican Food?

*******WARNING - CONTAINS IMAGES THAT SOME MAY FIND DISTURBING*******

This month I present a vignette of a typical NW May spring weekend in the German state of Hesse.

In other words I just found a load of photographs on my camera and am wondering what to do with them.

Mrs N has discovered a source of floor tiles

Here is the place at Schoneck (o with an umlaut please) - job lot purchased for a knock down price from  a certain Herr Eineaufspaltungbildvonhundertwasser


56 pallets of tiles weighing 20kg each required 7 journeys. Dynamic range of car suspension at it's performace envelope has been confirmed.

Meanwhile a hole has appeared in a wall...

...whilst we take a break admiring the sacks of cat litter at Hornbach (o without an umlaut please)
Later we tank up

A helmeted motorcyclist stands in line to rob the filling station - flowers for sale

A clever combined water air machine

Seasonal CO2 producing goods for sale

Icon at top left means "you are about to be decapitated"?

Green diesel fuel is €4 cheaper than orange petrol - not the case in UK
 Later in the weekend we are permitted a day of rest.  We cycle down to the river.

I wonder if there is a Chipolata Street in Neasden?

A typical family cruising Frankfurter Str.

A load of balls

Ah yes, lunch by the Rhine - Biebrich

Refried sick with melted cheese (to paraphrase TopGear)

A brace of Adventure motorcyclists makes it to the Rhine

I have an awkard moment on the cycle ride home when the cerveza Modelo kicks in and I lose control

  1. You could have had a Hamburger or Wiener on Frankfurter Str.

  2. That is a lot of tile.

    I do so enjoy your eclectic groups of photos though.

    You lost me back at (56 x 20 kg x 2.2046) / 7 = 352. lbs per trip

    what happened to your cycle ? did you bend the wheel. You approached the rail at not enough angle ? are you okay ?

    I've never seen a taco with noodles, usually with refried beans

    I also keep starring at that hole in the wall. Now you have a new escape route . . .
