Took the car to the garage this morning to get the tires changed to the fur-lined winter boots and the overdue inspection service done. The bill was running up to Euro 200, which is not a lot, but a lot for the 300 miles we drove since May. I used to do twice as much in a week! I wish I knew how to get around without a car! Edit: I got TOPS, so the bill is on me today! 2nd Edit: I completely missed out on the fact that we have a national holiday tomorrow and all shops are closed. Just checked the fridge and we have enough food to cover that day. No it´s not Halloween, but the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of a bloke called Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses onto the door of the All Saints Church of Wittenberg, marking the start of the Reformation. His translation of the Bible into the German vernacular (instead of Latin) made it more accessible to the laity, an event that had a tremendous impact on both the church and German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the writing of an English translation, the Tyndale Bible. His hymns influenced the development of singing in Protestant churches. His marriage to Katharina von Bora, a former nun, set a model for the practice of clerical marriage, allowing Protestant clergy to marry. I think it is safe to say, that Luther changed the world, more than any other person since.
