The only occasion to wear a black suit at daytime: Funeral get-up today.

Our neighbour died on the 2nd of January 77 years old. 

Today was his funeral. 

I did not wear my black suit at daytime for ages.

Trenchcoat time.

Double collared trenchcoat

Cashmere blend sweater

Chukka boots

Still not fully recovered from my bronchitis...

Cashmere scarf and cashmere blend sweater

Wheat-coloured corduroy

Waxed-leather boots with Dainite sole

The Origin of Neckties. Watch and learn!

I've found this great video on a blog:

Today's get-up: Nothing special at all!

Dark brown Shetland sweater

Deep green corduroy trousers

Tan half brogues

Burlington socks

My most important wish for 2015: To stay healthy!

My dear followers: What kind of Year 2014 was that?

Germany wins the World Cup

But then:

Publishing house crisis in Germany

A lot of friends lose their jobs

War all over the World (IS, Ukraine, Syria, etc.)

Anxiety attacks everywhere

MH17

MH370

Ebola

Robin Williams commits suicide

Peter Scholl-Latour, Udo Jürgens, Peer Augustinski, Joachim Fuchsberger die

Shirley Temple, Lauren Bacall, Peaches Geldorf, Philip Seymour Hoffman die

So much sh!t was going on...


Me, my wife, our son and our daughter spent the turn of the year in bed ill with fever. Worst time ever!

I can tell you, this wasn't exactly the way I wanted it to be. My goal was to spend some quality time with my kids, having a laugh, playing games, go swiming with my son, trying out his new RC monster truck, etc.

If you're not healthy, you're nothing!

So my whish for us all in 2015 is: Stay healthy! Keep an eye on you and your loved ones! And don't forget to enjoy your life, even if it might be hard. You only have one chance!

Best,
Mike

 

Office Christmas Party Tonight!

No Christmas party attire, you wonder?

At 1800 hours we'll have a dinner at the office and after that, we're gonna play bowls. Not quite festive.

Because of that I neither wear a tie, nor a Christmas sweater (we don't have this tradition in Germany yet).

Disappointed? I'm sorry!

Besides that, today will be the last day of work this year. Starting tomorrow, I'll be a husband and father 24/7 until the 5th of January.

But don't you worry! My posts will continue during this time. But there gonna be more Christmas related :-)

Another new sweater.

Here's the second new pure new wool sweater by Torquato. 

So warm and cosy comfy!
