Periodic thread of what I think of as extremely Berlin moments:
Stopped at a red light on my bike while riding home from the gym yesterday, I hear a familiar beat slowly coming into audio focus behind me. Smiling, I look back to see a tall person of indeterminate gender piloting a speaker-laden cargo bike containing an extremely chill golden retriever. All three of us seemed to be bobbing our heads in unison to The Prodigy’s Firestarter.
Later in the day, while walking home with groceries from the nearby market hall, I see two skinny 20-something lads struggling to hand transport a very tall potted plant. Once I’m close enough I see that it’s a very healthy, leafy, and productive Cannabis plant (newly legal to grow for personal use). After our paths cross, I smell it for the rest of the block.
Today, while walking home from picking up fresh produce from a farm share delivery point, I met two women outside my building on stilts. They amiably agreed to pose for a photo.
I drop round my favorite bakery to meet @marianoguerra for breakfast. There are a pair of smiling Australians outside with custom built cargo bikes (“pastries on the top, bread in the box”). All of the bakery’s deliveries are done by bike, three riders every morning 
@marianoguerra You want a high protein vegan dönerkebab? Sure, no problem.

@jack @marianoguerra This map of vegetarian/vegan eateries is worth noting:

Alas the use of soja renders most meat substitutes poisonous to me (Ive got extensive IBS).
Your graphic suggests that one may be palatable!
