I moved to Berlin in January. Most of my things moved in after me. Most of them still live in the boxes we moved them in. For the last few months my bookcase looked like this: No[t much] longer! First, the DB chose a good space for a bookcase. Then we measured it. Then I […]
…especially of others. Can someone please tell me how that works? I have enough things of my own to work on, I don’t have time to go about finding fault with other people. (Except if they happen to be taking a bike on an overfilled train). This doesn’t seem to apply to the rest of […]
Isn’t that just amazing?? 🙂
I would like to believe that I am a tolerant person. However. Commuting seems to bring out my intolerant side. Some things are especially infuriating. Take, for example, bikers. People who ride bikes. Most of my life I held the opinion that cycling was generally a good thing to do. Environmentally friendly and all that. […]
Today is the first day of lent. I am fasting sugar. Except of course when it happens to be in my Müsli. I bought/mixed a huge potfull* a couple of weeks ago without thinking, and can’t justify having to buy more to a guy who doesn’t get lent any more than I get Ramadan. I’m […]

It’s very strange to be walking back to somewhere that in a few hours will no longer be ‘home’. I left the party just before midnight, walking the stretch of road from the station to my flat. At just gone midday I was on the road with the last of my possessions on the way […]
Apart from being impossible, trying to please other people leads to wet pillows and sore throats and is generally not recommended.
I got a seat on the first train this morning! Ok, so I guess it’s not that big a deal, but it made my morning that much more fulfilling 🙂 Even if I had to catch an earlier train to do so…
Today is my first ‘proper’ day at work in Berlin. (I went to talk to everyone and sort out my workbench last week, but I couldn’t start until my insurance came through. One of them still hasn’t, but I can’t really push my starting date further back than it already is…….) The journey there is […]
OH YEAH! 🙂
It was something like a Lemony Snikket novel* at times, but… …I passed!! 🙂 Finally. 🙂 * a series of unfortunate events
