++Mission homeland in process++ ;)

Arrived 22:19 in Leipzig on Tuesday. A welcome beer and then directly to bed.

Wednesday work was to do some phone calls and make sure that non necessary contracts were closed and nothing more needed to be documented or cancelled. Nice so far.

In the evening, after my friends work shift, we went to Halle to see some friends from over there and had a nice time. Back with the train. Both tired. Up to next day ...Good night.

Love at first sight

Back from picking up my letters from the old apt. Finally used the company bicycle that for. Huh, have to bring that back now. What a pity. Now that I found back the key to unlock it, its a great weather to have a tour around. I made the way back to the new apt around the neighbourhood. And...awww, what can tell you? Love at first sight. Its true.

So many cute, cozy, modern, old, tiny, funny and well tended houses all over the place. Lots of green spots. I am living even close to d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis :) (streets named after them). Wow, I love it. I just...love love love it.

Next time I'll have a cell phone or cam with me to bring some impressions.

Ah! I got two new baby plants: Paddy Pepper and Steve Strawberry. I hope they grow well. ;) Thx to my coworker and friend who gave them to me!

Monday Monday

Good morning everybody and have a good week.

Quote about teaching:

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." 

(guess who)

• Relaxed Sunday - raining cats and dogs

Ah, nice. Slept long into the Sunday sunlight.

And now (5:45pm) its raining cats and dogs...



romantic waterfalls at the terrace ;)

Whaaaaa -  not again! Last time we had a swimming pool at the terrace. Ok, Super-Janita took all her braveness and pulled out the leaves that stucked in the rain pipe. Once, twice - ah, the water is flowing again into the pipe. Again some leaves... finally got a nice cold tickling running-down-her-arm-water-stream...right into her sweat pants. :D Awesome. Still grinning about that. Ok. The water is flowing right. But - oh no: the bottom end of the rain pipe looks INTO the terrace, not away from it. 't was possible to turn it around into garden direction. Better. Ok. Yay!

If you look hard enough you can see the bottom of the rain pipe now into direction garden. And the water running out of it.

Double checked the terrace: Looks safe:

only a wet corner this time :D - rest is dry

Its Sunday. Didnt visit PostSecret yet. Lets go: postsecret.com

Back from work. Eight til two. Stuffed with grocery. Having sandwiches and salad now, *omnomnom*.

Thoughts: If what doesnt kill us makes us harder, why do I feel so weak then? ;)

I love that. Especially the location:

Morning of Friday, May 18th

Good morning.

Even the sky is sad.

Last night I ve been reminded my own mortality.

Our mortality. The mortality of the person next to you.

We re human. Mortal.

My good friend from universitity, Matthias - 

may you R.I.P. and freedom, that you didnt have, 

decided to go. 

Already some years ago.

Now somebody else did. 

Fair? Right? Wrong? Questions. Tears. And love.

I wish you and me to be brave and 

to have all the strength life calls for.

Step by step

4th: our new manager sees our baby shoe issues solved on 15th of June 2012-sporty target.

5th: Albert Einstein rules.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

Who the heck decided to let me grow an adult? Argh! When one problem is solved another one shows up. Grrrrrrrrr. 

Ok, not to let you be curious any longer: I am still paying my apt in Leipzig, Germany. Now my friend that takes care of my apt and shows interested people the place tells me, that until now there is no answer to my cancellation letter from February. Huh. Thats tough. Lets see. I still have the copy of my letter. Lets get in contact and book some vacation to go to Germany and solve that as well.

I love my life. Its adventurous every day. :D Awesome. [littleironic]

Ok, lets do something funnier now: upload some more pics from Amsterdam to Sunday's post. 

Seed babies growing:

Herby Herbs and Fanny Flower - babies

That one is quite quick *wow*

• Tulips from Amsterdam Sunday

Taking the bus in the morning to Sittard we then took the train to Amsterdam...

Körperwelten at first:

Its not been allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition. Its a pity. I liked the quotes of Khalil Gibran, Mark Twain and Antoine de saint Exupery a lot. After the exhibition: walking to town. 

Havin a veggie snack (recommendation!!!).

And then keep walking through town to meet all our friends. See:

She reminds me London - know that story? Will tell you later about that ;)

The wall with the Chaplin movie. Visualizing me in the room. See me dance with Charly: charliechaplinwalk

Privjet, towarisch Gorbatschov. :)

 

And now everybody: Spiderpig, spiderpig. Does what ever a spiderpig does. *lalala*

Out of the wax museum into town:

Sushi party!!!
