Hi, My living room will be open this **Sunday at 14:00** for a small, casual get-together. The idea is just to meet some fellow music-makers. No agendas, no prepared performances — just a chance to have a drink, chat and maybe play a few things together if we feel like it. **The Setup** * I’ll have some coffee, tea, water and small snacks. * There will be an e-piano, classical guitars, and an electric guitar with a basic amp here if anyone wants to use them. * Feel free to bring your own instrument if it’s easy to carry, but don’t feel like you have to. **The Details** * **Small Group:** Just **6 people** max so we can fit in fine. * **RSVP:** Please let me know by **Saturday at 19:00** if you can make it. * **Location:** I’ll message the address to the people joining me once the RSVPs close, but you can see where it is approximately on the map. * If it's difficult to get to that place, I could pick up from somewhere nearby before the start of the event. Looking forward!

When American author Octavia Butler died in 2006, she was only 58. Even at her premature death, she was renowned as a science fiction and speculative fiction author, winning both Hugo and Nebula awards and the MacArthur fellowship (aka the MacArthur Genius Grant). Published in 1979, "Kindred" remains her most well-known and best-selling work. A story based on time travel and modeled on slave narratives, "Kindred" explores the dynamics and dilemmas of American antebellum slavery from the sensibility of a late 20th-century Black woman who is aware of its legacy in contemporary American society. *Goodreads summary* Dana, a modern Black woman, is celebrating her 26th birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana’s life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.

Love food and meeting new people? Join us for a **Culinary Exchange Workshop** — a fun, hands-on cooking event where everyone brings a taste of their own culture to the table. **How it works:** * 👩‍🍳 Each participant submits one or more recipes — starter, main course, dessert, or even a drink. * 🗳️ We vote together to create our dream menu: one dish per category. * 🧺 We then organize who brings which ingredients, so everything’s ready for the big day. * 🏆 The 3–4 chosen chefs lead the group in preparing their winning dishes, guiding others through the recipe without cooking themselves. * 🍷 Finally, we cook, laugh, and share a delicious meal together in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re a passionate cook or just curious to learn, this is the perfect opportunity to **discover new flavors, share your culinary traditions, and make new friends** from around the world.

Dear All, Another weekend full of "Schienenersatzverkehr". For the non-German speakers, I can teach you how to pronounce the word. Anyway, we can still do a CFL trail. But we will change the scenery and go to a different corner of Luxembourg. This one goes from Kleinbettingen to Petange. It looks quite easy. It's just a bit longer than our last trails. I will look for a suitable place for our "obligatory" lunchbreak. Starting point: Kleinbettingen Train Station Destination: Petange Train Station Public transport: L50 from Luxembourg Gare Routière at 10:30 to Kleinbettingen. We leave at the last station of that bus. We will frequent trains back from Petange to Luxembourg. Car: there is parking at both train stations. BUT the bus between Petange and Kleinbettingen is every 2h. I suggest coordinating between each other and organising some carpooling. Any questions? Hope to see you in large numbers on Sunday Jörg Disclaimer: The hike is at your own risk. Know your limits. Come prepared (water, food, shoes...). Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

✨ Welcome! ✨ Are you a Christian woman in Luxembourg looking to grow in faith and make genuine friends? This meetup is for you! We’ll start with coffee and light snacks at Lloyd, then (weather permitting and for those interested) continue with a short, scenic walk at Parcs de la Pétrusse. The hope is to get our steps in, soak up the fresh air, and just enjoy the community.🤍 This is a casual, friendly gathering — no pressure, just fellowship. Whether you’re new to Luxembourg, new to faith, or just want to connect with like-minded women, you are warmly welcome!
