The moment when the sun rises over the mountain...
Spoken Note
Since I'm sitting at my computer right now and filling in the content for the Franky topic, I'm also noticing that there was so much else yesterday that wasn't just somehow running parallel or playing a subordinate role. In total, it had just as much presence. There was the little seven-year-old boy from Switzerland who was afraid of dogs and who was already there in the morning when I introduced, or rather was allowed to introduce, the topic of physical exercise to the two water enthusiasts - the kind that suited them - and who stood completely relaxed with me in the water while I was fishing, showing me one stone after another. And in the end his trouser pockets were so full that his trousers were slipping down. And of course he also found rubbish in the water, plastic, iron, and wanted to throw it back each time. And I asked him why he would want to do that. Well, because that's where it came from. And then we both philosophized about it. Well, that's not true. You're right. I then told him what it's like if he takes it, has it in his hand, and even though he knows it doesn't belong there and he doesn't actually want it there, would throw it back there. And he looks at me completely puzzled and says, well what am I supposed to do with it, in that funny Swiss German. I'm like, well, you take it with you to your car, you have a rubbish bag, you just put it in there. Yes, but then we'll have the rubbish, because that was his objection. And I said, the rubbish is there. You'll also take your rubbish away and probably throw it in the big rubbish bin here at the exit in the car park. Then he looks at me and says, yes, I can do that. And grins while doing so. And that's not even all. So he brings the rubbish to his parents. At some point I had to free the line, or rather the rod. The line then finally freed itself. And I went to Frankie, because soaking wet, not even swimming trunks but underwear, which needed changing. And I wanted to roll myself a cigarette and wanted to work at the computer a bit more. And he asks if he can come in here. I said, sure, you can have a look around. And of course he discovers this beautiful door curtain that Janine made for Frankie. And he discovers so, so much in these chains. Just like all the children so far. And asks me each time what that is and what that is and what that is. And I think after his fifth or sixth question, I told him, well, let yourself be inspired by the shape, colour and appearance. And think up what it is. And he looks at me and says, what is inspiration. And I'm completely perplexed and look at him and have to confess to him that at that moment I actually have no other word for him than inspiration. And he stays on it and asks again and again and again and again. And all my attempts at explanation fail until the moment when I tell him, well, inspiration, I can only describe it to you right now like this: that you take in what you see, what you feel, and let your imagination run free, in order to be able to name what comes out of it yourself. And he looks at me and he actually finds beautiful, wonderful invented words for individual objects, which of course I didn't remember. Well, you'll recall, that was already at a time when more than one Lebowitz was already working in me. Exactly. And then at some point he left and left two large stones lying here on the carpet, which I actually then took to position them as marker points at the ground pegs. I'm looking forward to when the website is finished and when the AI does the transcription quite well, the backend is adjusted a bit more and we, so in this case André and I and Frankie and I, will then go online. Herewith the second reminder, the Telegram group will be closed. So if you want any photos, any messages or the complete exchange for yourselves, then you still have a bit of time to make a selection, both regarding the content and the respective technology you intend to use for it. If you have questions, I'm happy to make myself available. I have no idea either, but would then research for you or ask Kilian what the ideal way is. Okay, then I'll continue working on the website, after I, beforehand of course, send Zakir another message that he kindly, since he intends to set off in my direction, lets me know beforehand, because I easily need an hour here to get Frankie ready to travel, so that he doesn't have to stand around here in the sun. Update on the course of the day to follow. Thinking of you with a big fat grin, all the wishes from earlier plus one.

The moment when the sun rises over the mountain...😍

Spontaneous stop with Zack and Becir at the restaurant right on the Fojnica, had a beer and the most delicious lamb in the region 😊

My repaired fresh water tank 💪 which will probably fall apart everywhere else before the repaired spot does 🤣
