Good morning lovely girls! Here I am to tell you about the smiles of the past week, but first there's a cute postcard:
It was sent by Veronica who lives in Pilsen, in the Czech Republic. Pilsen is famous for its Pilsner beer.
Wikipedia writes:
Pilsen is a city in the Czech Republic. It is the fourth most populous city in the Czech Republic with about 188,000 inhabitants. It is located about 78 kilometres (48 miles) west of Prague.
The city is known worldwide as the home of Pilsner beer, created by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll in the city in 1842;
today, the Pilsner Urquell Brewery is the largest brewery in the Czech Republic.
Pilsner Urquell is the world's first golden pilsner, the source of inspiration for all pilsner beers since 1842. It inspired a worldwide brewing revolution – over 70% of all beer drunk today is in the pilsner style lager.
The stamp is an interesting one:
Oh, sorry, that is a bit out of focus. Rather than take another picture, I found one on the Internet:
Wikipedia writes: Immanuel Kant (born Emanuel Kant; 22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher and one of the central thinkers of the Enlightenment.
Wikipedia writes: Immanuel Kant's main philosophical focus was on transcendental idealism, which explores the relationship between experience and reason, and deontology, a moral philosophy centered on duty and the categorical imperative. He sought to reconcile empiricism and rationalism, arguing that knowledge is derived from both sensory experience and innate mental structures. His work also significantly impacted political philosophy, advocating for a world of constitutional republics and international cooperation.
Heavens! That was a bit too highfaluting for me. Too many isms.I searched 'Kant simple' and got this: Kant's ethical theory is that morality is grounded in rationality and that any ethical principles must apply both universally and unconditionally. Kant emphasized rationality and autonomy, arguing that individuals must act without regard to personal desires or incentives.
They have a lovely outside seating area and one of their specialities is baked potato. I wrote about it on Tuesday.
Sunday is church and the rest of the week was generally relaxing.
I've been watching quite a bit of tv, and trying to rest after a very hectic July.
I've started watching a tv program called Destination X, (BBC), a reality show where a group of people have to guess where they are based on clues they earn through challenges or just through observation. It's a bit like the Traitors where there is a lot of scheming and deviousness going on.
I'm also watching Sommerdal Murders on CH4.
They are doing season 6 but I've only just finished viewing season 1.
Inspector Dan Sommerdal (on the right), his pathologist wife Marianne and their best friend Flemming (left).
The series is entirely filmed in Helsingør (Elsinore), Denmark, and the plot revolves around the fictionalized killings that take place in the town.
IMDb writes: "The Sommerdahl Murders" follows DCI Dan Sommerdahl as he investigates murders in the Danish coastal town of Helsingør, alongside his best friend, Detective Flemming Torp, and his wife, criminal technician Marianne. The series explores the complexities of their personal lives, as Dan and Marianne's marriage is strained, and Dan discovers Flemming is his romantic rival. The show balances murder mysteries with character-driven drama, including themes of betrayal and personal decline according to Nordic Watchlist. "
In my village we are celebrating the yearly Feria.
It's an annual week-long festival
of music, food, flowers, rides, sports events, fireworks,
dancing.
People come form far
and wide and party all through the night.
This was the stage in front of the town hall the other
night.
Tonight (Thursday) I'm going to see Maria del Tango,
my favorite local singer:
That is all for today. Of course there will be some funnies at the end.
Have a lovely weekend!
Lisca
