Well here we are, the date is August 20th 2021, and here in New Zealand we have had a lockdown since last Tuesday. Hopefully this will only last until another 2 or 3 days but I'm not holding my breath. I'm actually making bread because we have run out, and do not feel like doing grocery shopping.
This coincidence came about because I have been rereading Bill Bryson’s very good book
called A Short History of Nearly Everything.
In it I came across the following:
“Karlsruhe Congress was an international meeting of chemists held in Karlsruhe,
Germany from 3 to 5 September 1860. It was the first international
conference of chemistry worldwide.”
Because my drafting work has dried up, I have been entering architectural competitions.
One of these was from Germany, and I presume it was for Karlsuhe, due to the file name:
WP03.2a_GR_OG_B_Streetbox_Karlsruhe_Ausschnitt M100.pdf
The prize was a bit pitiful, at NZ$50, but it was quite quick to do in Revit Cad software.
Apparently the contest holder did not make a decision, so the web site decided to split the prize between myself and the only other contestant, so I got $25.00
