Week 13

13 Weeks into 2013 -it is April- and snow still lies in dirty piles on the sidewalks and streets of Berlin. The sun is making every effort to rub in that temperatures hover merely a few degrees over freezing (or
under it) and the days are steadily getting longer. I spent a great amount of time reading Life of Pi (again) this week, using the easter long weekend as the perfect excuse, instead of chowing easter bunnies and eggs. In fact, I was too busy destroying Zerg, Protoss and Terran forces to notice. Also saw Les Miserables, which, for a musical, was quite spectacular. And attempted to learn to play Mah-Jongg (the real way) My only conclusion is that this game was contrived to render any hapless foreigner utterly confused, as there appears to be no particular logic to the rules. Why I drew us as crickets? I don't have all the answers.

Week 12

It was a week spent with friends, and let me say, there was an abundance of cake. Also, I cannot draw chihuahuas from memory. Girafficorns seem to be no problem.

Craig MacMonroe

A very Happy Birthday to Julia and Christian - thank you for a lovely afternoon and as always, the wonderful food!

Happy Birthday Time

Herzliche Geburtstagsgrüße schicke ich an E-Hörnchen, auch als Pitifleur bekannt (ihre süßen Tierchen findet man hier), die meinen Reisebegleiter Anouk erschaffen hat. Alles alles Gute!

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*
