No room-No help

I had planned to take Joan to the Cat Cafe for their delicious cheesecake. I found a parking place close to the passageway that leads there, put Joan in the wheelchair and slowly pushed her there. There is one step at the entrance that didn't present a problem for me. However, there are 5 steps to go down that did. One employee came over and asked if she could help and I gratefully accepted.

Once down on the main floor, I went to the counter to place our order for cheesecake and coffee. It was then I was told that there were no laces available for seating because someone had rented all of them for some special occasion.  We had no choice but to leave and go to Sowas.

So, we were sitting in Sowas this afternoon and a woman came in pushing a stroller. Inside I expected to see a small child. I didn't. Instead, there was a little dog sitting there like he owned the stroller. It just seemed so strange to me. Then I looked for the name on the stroller and again I was surprised to see, TurboPet. Some company actually makes strollers for pets.....and people buy them. WOW!

Meanwhile:German weapons.

 The German news outlet Spiegel, citing a presentation given by the deputy military attaché of Berlin’s embassy in Kyiv reported that he had given an unvarnished assessment of the performance of German weapons in combat in Ukraine.

The attaché’s words, based on feedback received from Ukrainian troops, have proved to be sober reading for both Germany’s military and its arms manufacturers. He described in clear terms what was good, bad and indifferent about the German weapons systems gifted to Kyiv.

 Summarizing its report, Spiegel commented that “Hardly any large German equipment provided to Ukraine was fully suitable for war.” Source-Kyiv Post
