Christmas Sweets!
I’m not going to lie to you. I’m currently sitting in my kitchen drinking tea and eating Christmas Cake. We’re going out for brunch, so I’m not allowed to have a real breakfast. But Christmas cake doesn’t count, right?
Oh Christmas Tree (again)
Well, the incredibly perceptive and intelligent amongst you may have noticed that this year’s Christmas tree is not really a tree, but more of a bunch of branches. Let’s call them ‘Christmas Tree: the discontinuous whole’.
Autumn Leaves: Part I
And also, mushrooms!
It isn’t Budapest
In a good year, Germany seems to me to have an overabundance of public holidays. If I’m really objective about it, they don’t have a whole lot more than in Australia. But they do have more than the stingy university system, which only grants national, but not WA state holidays. But there’s this weird system here, where public holidays are set by date. And when I say ‘weird’ I mean ‘actually totally objectively correct’. But in Aussieland we push everything to the nearest Friday or Monday. Here, if the holiday falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, it’s gone.
Green Pinafore
I may have mentioned that last Saturday was my birthday. Generally, a weekend birthday is a good thing, but these days I just feel like Saturdays are for chores. Still, we made the most of it, had a slow morning, ate brunch and cake at a nice cafe, and made a trip in the afternoon to the Maybachufer fabric market. Where I bought a lot of fabric.
Bilbao
Bilbao was all about the Guggenheim.
Autumn Dress
I made another thing.
Picos de Europa
It’s time for more mountains!
Chi-chi-chi le-le-le
Woah, how quickly time flies. I meant to do a short post about the Chilean Cultural Day shortly after we visited. Turns out that was three weeks ago.
