Every day, nature stands still, smiling upon you, observing the artistry of your simple human existence. "How mesmerizing," the trees whisper. "This creature has cherished us for countless years." The ancient trees echo this sentiment among themselves. -theoldsoulcat

Hi Gurken-Eugen and Frank, I'd like to know what you think of your 'counterparts' on U-96, aka Kriechbaum and Hinrich.
Hinrich seems like a very nice guy! I think I really would have liked serving as Funkgast with him.
-Frank Strasser
I think we'd get along just fine.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐡 & 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐧𝐚
During a family dinner at the Anichkov Palace, Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich, the third son of Tsar Nicholas I, unwillingly proposed to the young Duchess Alexandra of Oldeburg. Seven years her senior, Grand Duke Nicholas was a military officer who had numerous love affairs. The Russian Imperial family, in an attempt to control the Grand Duke’s excesses, had propelled Nicholas to marry Alexandra, hoping that she would have a good influence on him. Alexandra, who had been raised in the Lutheran church, converted to Russian Orthodoxy and took the name Grand Duchess Alexandra Petrovna. The couple married in early 1856, and the union produced two sons, including Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich the Younger (“Nikolasha”).
In spite of the differences in character and outlook, Nicholas and Alexandra lived in harmony for the first ten years of their married life. Initially, the Grand Duke respected and admired his wife's interest in charities and medicine as well as her being extremely religious. He financed a hospital in the city where her theories could be developed and put into practice and poor patients received care without charge. But as time went by, Nicholas grew tired of his wife’s increasing preoccupation with religion and began complaining of her lack of glamour and distaste for society. Like his older brothers, he began an extramarital affair and did little to hide it, humiliating his wife. After the collapse of their marriage, the couple lived separated, and Nicholas eventually expelled his wife from their household in 1879. A carriage accident left her almost completely paralyzed and, in November 1880, Alexandra went abroad to improve her health, compelled by her brother-in-law Tsar Alexander II. The following year, she asked her nephew, Tsar Alexander III, to allow her to return to Russia and she settled in Kiev. Bound to a wheelchair, the Grand Duchess decided to stay in Kiev for good. Alexandra vehemently refused to grant a divorce and Nicholas hoped that he could be a widower so he could remarry, as it had been the case of his brother Alexander II, who after his wife's death married his mistress. Alexandra, in spite of her poor health, outlived both her husband and her husband's mistress.
Nicholas and Alexandra were first cousins once removed and second cousins once removed (twice); their common ancestors were Frederick II Eugene, Duke of Württemberg and Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (brother-in-law of George III of Great Britain).

👀☕️So Queen Philippa of Hainault was the first black queen of England?! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When Megan Markle was announced as Duchess of Sussex there was so much conversation and interest in Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen of England when married to King George lll in 1761. 434 years prior to the birth of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz Queen Philippa of Hainault was born. She from our knowledge was the first black queen of England. In our previous post, I stated that H. Eugene Lehman claimed that Queen Charlotte was deliberately portrayed as a biracial queen to reflect that enslaved Africans should not be considered as inferior because their Queen is one of them. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I found it interesting that we're willing to admit that the racial background of Queen Philippa Lehman was not will to make that same acknowledgement where the evidence supports their racial background is somewhat similar. Is there a limit to England's acknowledgement of their black monarchy? Skin brown all over and yet they had her looking whiter than a milkybar. The French called her son Edward of Woodstock aka THE BLACK PRINCE 'Le Noir' and historians played booboo the fool and claimed lack of understanding of why that could be. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 'Queen Mum of the Middle Ages' Philippa was that bad and boujee baddie who clearly made an impact on this country. So much more we need to learn about her.👸🏾⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📒Lives of England's Reigning and Consort Queens⁠⠀ By H. Eugene Lehman⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #blackqueen #englishmonarchy #blackbritian #blackhistory #britishhistory #blackisbeautiful #empresssettings #philippaofhainault #kingedwardlll #kingedward #moors #queencharlotte #sophiecharlotte⁠⠀ (at Buckingham Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFu9nw3AXeq/?igshid=tspjwsr4wxbr

Is there a Gothic Cottage in your Future?
This Object of the Day  celebrates one of many treasured objects given by Clare and Eugene V. Thaw to Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.  It is republished here in memory of Eugene V. Thaw.��Click on this link to read more about the Thaws and their gifts to Cooper Hewitt.   
This charming gothic interior was the private study in the Cottage Palace, St. Petersburg, Russia, of Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas I. Born Frederica Louise Charlotte Wilhelmina of Prussia, Charlotte, as she was known, was promised in a political alliance to Grand Duke Nicholas Pavlovich in 1814. They married three years later and by 1825 the couple became Tsar and Tsarina of Russia. While they reportedly enjoyed a happy marriage, the Tsarina was never comfortable in the formal interiors of the Peterhof Palace. She longed to “rest her eyes from all that gold.” In a gift to his wife, Nicholas commissioned architect Adam Menelaus to design (1826-29) a more intimate “bourgeois” cottage in the English gothic style (the architectural craze that spread over Europe in the early 19th century), where they could enjoy a more private life. The house became their favorite spot to spend summers.
The study’s interior shows a roster of gothic details, two gothic screens with stained glass and trefoil decoration, a gothic-revival chandelier, curtains with gothic motifs, and a portrait on the left wall of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna’s mother, Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, sitting beneath a gothic arch. The waste basket and the chandelier are in the style of the English Gothic revival architect, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. The other furniture is probably from the workshop of the celebrated St. Petersburg cabinetmaker, Peter Gambs.
Today, the Cottage Palace is open to the public, and the room retains many of its original architectural elements including the colored glass bay window, the stucco ceiling, the parquet wood floors and the painting hanging on the left wall. Some of the furniture has been replaced with other Russian gothic revival wooden pieces.
Dr. Gail S. Davidson was formerly Curator and Head of Prints, Drawings & Graphic Design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.

Max, Thorsten, Hoffy, Ehrenberg, Schiller, Frank, Müller, Laudrup and Simone get strawberry cake as a thank you for helping with the laundry. Tenny too, at least he tried.
Carla can flirt her way through to get some cake easily if she wants, I'm weak in the knees for her. Same goes for Jojo.
Eugen can have Gurken, it'll probably make him happier anyways (non-abused ones, heh)
Ritzenhoff and Grothe didn't technically help that much, but they also didn't make it worse, so eh, if they ask nicely, they can also have cake.
Josef, Kraushaar, Maas and Loidl can do the Abwasch, and if they're good at it, they might get some rest-cake.
Why thank you! Strawberry cake for most of the crew! (-Kaleun Hoffmann)
And Gurken, yum. (-Eugen Strelitz)
WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO ABWASCH? (-Josef Wolf)
