Fresh home roasted coffee beans, after 28 min on the hotplate in the whirley pop.
You still can see the skins which have to be removed before being stored away. A good start for the next week. Have a nice Sunday.
Nude pocket knife from Gasoline Alley – Munich:
Last Saturday just before I left Burkhard Pflug´s Gasoline Alley in Munich, I found this small pocket knife. Had to buy it. Could not identify the manufacturer but never mind, visit him to get one. (closed on Mondays!)
Cafe Jasmin Munich – München:
Thanks to my sister Gloria I finally made it inside to the Cafe Jasmin. I walked by a couple of times but never made it. We´ve been in this wonderful place last saturday for breakfast. Just perfect, good food, drinks, music and the people and staff as well. Highly recommended if you are in Munich sometime.

While traveling in India in 2005 I read the famous novel “The far pavilions” by Mary Margaret Kaye. I started to get bored when the main character never got sick about talking about his princess “golden eyes“. Just a day after, I saw a woman in a bus with golden eyes but I was too slow to take an image. Another day later I saw two girls in the streets of Pushkar with this wonderful golden eyes. Here a photo of one of them.

Post WWII German Army boot from Baltes:
After about half a year in the trunk of Ferdi´s car, who is a very skilled but too busy shoemaker I finally got these boots back. They are the bigger brothers of these boots. These have got really thick leather, nearly as thick as a belt, about 2 mm. The color used to be black but on very stressed areas it was worn off and is brownish shining trough. When I bought them I was considering to give them a treatment with black shoe cream but luckily I left them their character.
Now with the new soles and fixed heels (I guess they will darken a bit after a while) they for sure will last a lifetime. I gave them some treatment with neutral leather oil, they fit like a glove and you really have another example how skilled they were making boots at Baltes around 1960.
