Week 11

A turbulent week, marked by some shocking news and yet a few spots of sunlight, some good food and good company. I finally took the time to play a few games again, and READ. It can't always be all work and no play. : )

Week 10

Finally! Corrections are complete, everything's handed in. My parents always wanted me to be married to a doctor... Though there's still a defence to get through in April. But the worst has passed and spring is apparent in the heat of the sun!
Also got some plants for work, Much needed chi. Sunshine and more flat tires... Also finally got myself a sewing machine -yes!

Week 9

This week saw the return of the sun to this part of Germany. Berlin enjoyed some spring-like weather (though rumour has it, Winter will rear its frosty head again in the coming days) -Some last minute reparations while being sick and more corrections for the thesis. We have made headway, next week is deadline.
Also said goodbye to our furry friend, who had to go to his new home. *sigh*

Week 8

Lots of fun this week building furniture, baking quiche and pavlova, having to deal with a flat tire again and relying on unreliable public transport... New couch is awesome, thanks a billion, K.

Week 7

More housework - changing light fixtures :D - this week, babysitting
and all manners of food!
The upside is that I've been able to go furniture shopping -downside
carrying things up five flights of stairs. Went to a nice Vietnamese
restaurant; Onkel Ho and had a beef and glass noodle salad. Flavour
explosion! :D

Week 6

It was an eventful week in spite of a busy work schedule; Cinema (Django Unchained), Ikea, more snow and picturesque Berlin landscapes burned into my mind, baking lemon meringue tortelettes, and lots of elbow
grease, lots of change. -Oh, and guinnea pigs fit in there too.
Also used a circular saw for the first time and can understand the respect people have for heavy machinery with sharp turning bits. I finished my work smiling, all limbs and appendages attached and merely covered in a layer of sawdust, while my inner self was screaming like a maniac in a pool of sweat...
I've almost finished replacing all the lights in our appartment with LED lamps -let's see if that leads to any changes in our power consumption.

Week 5

We bought a fridge, there was good food, lots and lots of bad grammar, and visitors from far away lands.
