Sunday, 10 o'clock in the morning, the Volksbank ATM station from Wilmersdorferstrasse. A quiet snowy day when you need some cash and it is not late enough or early enough to avoid entering such a place with treasures.

The yard at our house is a perfect example of this: the weeds that pop up in the yard don't bother me a bit.
