In a coin laundrette, which I had to use, because all my slightly more fancy clothes were unbelievably smelly, I found this note on the laundromats pin board wall:
It says:
“I am looking for a Mini-Living space including a tiny bit of electricity/water, who’s landlord is asking a flexible rent of 10-16 EUR a week according to my salary.
I’m never using TV, music players etc and I believe, that I will not have to heat.”
Landlords out there, does n0-one have a place where Barbara Heinz can listen to music?

Hi Sanne,
Hope you don’t mind, thought I’d peruse your Blog

Not only I love people checking my blog, I also like intensely folks making me learn new words and look up things like “peruse”. What a great and cute little word…so much nicer than check, look at, control or any of those! Thanks – I am NOT joking!
Feel free to take the challenge teach me one new word with every new post I do…this will encourage me to write more and more faster and faster…and maybe even invent more new words like in my post EINSENFLECHTER

Hey! What’s happening with you? Where are you, probably is the best question!

Hey Pat, my most loyal and staunch reader!
Great to see, that y r still popping by.
I have been electricity less and media less offline in Italy and Switzerland – and had a absolutely divine time. Shooting and working since and: Computer in pieces about to be fixed for weeks already I am using public Internet currently, since maybe January the 20th already?? Soon there to be some money to pay the man doing the fixing job…he is great though…if y ever have an unsolvable problem with a Mac – he is the man who will solve it!
Not quite sure if this answered some of your questions…I am running a premiere of the film “1, 2, 3″ next week and am trying to get back on blogging discipline and write and read as often as I should
Can you believe I had a language crisis as well?!?
What a strange silly thing…being back to Germany now after five years overseas in Anglo-Saxon countries, it took me almost twelve months to feel I am not searching for German words and expressions any more as lovely as something English I had in mind at the same time.
Watching this happening, the return of my language out of fog and filth of abandoning it for years, in the same time I could see my English disappearing faster and faster by the minute.
I understood less, could and can write and express less, feel more clumsy and less light writing it.
I even thought about switching my Blog to German…did you have this feeling after your return from Heidelberg?
It took me a while to force myself to sit down again and use the remains…I know that it is all still readable and fine, but I feel like a man running with one leg.
Anyway, at least I run!
All my love, nice to know y r around
