Bielefeld

Inspiration, but more of that later. Mostly the sun shone. Andeas and I went over to the university for lunch and a look around. He is conducting researchh into altruism. He thinks differently and we are surrounded by young people. New ideas are inevitable given the room to grow. Bielefeld is nice, lean and comfortably German. The beer at the brew house was perfect though the burger would have fed three like me.

Sunday we met up with the couch surfers. The idea is that you join the club and share accommodation all around the world. They are overwhelmingly young, and mostly students I think. The girls are so young that they make me aware of how old I am in relation, but their company was perfect. Thank you ladies. We spent most of the afternoon and evening as a group, avoiding the football as much as is possible. We converse in English (thanks all) for me and the Bangladeshi student with the wicked sense of humour.

I stood on the roof terrace and took in the 360 vista of the city, including the schloss. A green and pleasant place. My Uncle was hera as a soldier after the war. I wonder what he would make of modern Bielefeld. I think he would like it. Note to self, go and see Uncle Dennis when I get back.

My Moodscope scores are high just now. This journey suits me well. The timing is right this year.
