So they got here safe and sound!! The Moo MiniCards I ordered the other week turned up while I was away in Germany, and they really are just as nice as they looked.

Its also the first time I’ve really seen my photos in glossy professionally printed form, and they look really good. The quality of the card is really great, and they are very tactile, and I think even without Andy Pipers recommendation, I think I’ll be ordering some real soon.

I also love the way that Moo put the photo of us into the pack on top, so we appeared sat in the droplet on the card holder. That little personal touch, whether pure chance or someone at Moo being a little bit caring, is enough for me to be convinced that Moo is a great company, good luck guys (and ladies)

I just have to decide what to put on the backs of the cards, and which photos I want in my first batch!!

Thanks Moo.. love them!!!

Well its Friday, and that means I get to leave Munich, the DataStage Enterprise Edition Mentoring training (part one), and head back home..

It’s been a fairly good week, mad cat lady taxi drivers, souvenirs form restaurants (so far one large menu, for the comedy value of the translated items on the menu, and shot glasses from last night), Wim catching beer mats like some dog thats never seen a stick before, squealing pig impressions,Le F*cking Car, and evenings sat under lamps hanging from reindeer antlers..

Last night we experienced more traditional German customs, this one, the ordering of starters at the restraunt. It seems that you can’t have white sausage after 9am, and having been sorely told off by the waiter for even considering that I might be able to have one, he took my alternative starter option, the beef stew with pancakes..

It seems though he took great offense to this, and decided to completely ignore all our starters, and skip straight to the main course when he delivered it, although maybe this was some other weird German custom of just stating, if you did have a starter, what would be really nice to have..

It also seems that whatever desert you have, and you are allowed deserts between the hours of 9am and 1am, it consists of a loaf of bread in custard.. or.. for us a big bun in custard..

I guess the final thought for the week is, Do my ears look big in this??
