7 hours of train trips today. The first connection was already adjusted to be razor thin due to timetable changes that happened after I first booked it. Now in addition the train is also massively delayed.
This means the rest of my route is a bust and any possible alternative route at short notice will take hours longer.

On May 7, Trump paid a visit to the Reflecting Pool to meet with reporters and inspect the new paint personally.
To get there, the motorcade drove across the drained Reflecting Pool from the Washington Monument side.
It made an impressive spectacle,
but may have damaged the bottom of the pool in the process.

Zeitbedarf: 15–20 Minuten mit Nähmaschine und Übung, 1–2 Stunden mit der Hand oder wenig Übung.
Ihr braucht:
1. Stoff
Am besten Baumwolle oder dünnes Leinen. Ideal sind z.B. Baumwoll-Bandanas.
2. Wasserperlen/Hydrokugeln/Orbeez
Ihr bekommt diese in Bastel- oder Dekoläden, Blumenläden oder dem Kaufhaus Eures Vertrauens.
