It’s Autumn, which means that, just like last year, it’s time to bring on the gourds! We managed to acquire a couple of Pumpkins from work- (don’t worry, they’re not terrifying Genetically Modified Organisms, and nobody’s been doing experiments on them). I took to work, making my first ever Jack-O-Lantern, admittedly a bit early for the Halloween Season.

Potsdam, meet The Family

My family came to visit last week, and although I had to work Monday and Tuesday, I managed to sneak out early on Wednesday to frolick around the park.

They are here!

I am pleased to announce the happy frolicking of many many family members in the great city of Berlin. And apparently also that Andy is now Merkel 2.0.
