I only half-heard German news. Apparently, France has lent the British an old carpet. OMG, have Brexit and politics made things in the UK that much worse? That they have to borrow old carpets? It was about the Bayeux Tapestry. 🤣 In German, the word 'Teppich' can be used for tapestry as well as for a thinned out old carpet that you use for transporting a corpse. But the news speaker could have talked about a 'Wandteppich' if only he knew. 🤓 #languagelearning #German #BayeuxTapestry

When I was a kid my parents decided to make a detour on one of our holidays to see the #BayeuxTapestry… It was in a very long and dimly lit tunnel of a room as I recall. My brother and I just looked for people with arrows in their eye or up their bums… There was also hardly anyone there. It’s like my childhood memories of Durdle Door. The time before these things were ‘discovered’. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/01/bayeux-tapestry-ticket-sales-british-museum-art
