It always rains in november

A crowd gathers on the balconies of the city-theater (’Stadsschouwburg’) of Groningen for a show by Erik van Muiswinkel and Diederik van Vleuten, a cabaret duo.

‘Hey, Alba! Play with me, Alba! Alba! Hey! Alba, alba! Hey!’
‘Not now, Aurora, just talk to the paw!’

Where: Near the ‘Paterswoldse Meer’ lake, Groningen, the Netherlands.
What: The battered remains of an old oak tree (or is it?) continue to withstand all the storms mother nature throws at it.

What: Airgead-sgaoilidh, Arain, Beer tokens, Boodle, Bread, Bucks, Cash, Denar, Denaro, Dibs, Diner, Dinero, Dinheiro, Doekoe, Dosh, Dough, Flappen, Geld, the Green, Greenbacks, Monnaie, Moneta, Mono, Nauda, Novac, Para, Paraja, Pecunia, Pegels, Pekunio, Peniaze, Pengar, Penge, Penger, Peningar, Pieni, Pingping, Pinigai, Poen, Quid, Raha, Salapi, Sheckles, Uang, Wang.

All these words mean the same thing: money. I’m off to spend some ‘penge’ in Copenhagen.

What: After flying around all night, buzzing incessantly, relief finally came when this evil fly met its demise. No violence was used, it died a completely natural death. And no, there was no memorial erected on the windowsill it died on.

Where: Groningen, the Netherlands.
What: Allright, poker anyone?

Where: Naples, Italy.
What: The primary line of defence of the Castel Nuovo.
