Escape to the mountains!

I'm going to put on my Canadian Tuxedo and head for the hills. We have a car for a few days, and plan to fill it with warm things; To visit some mountains and trees, some family and some op shops and to buy some country produce and probably some old junk.

goodbye to berlin

... goodbye to pink phones

Our last days were hot and busy and mostly pretty lovely... you know playing ping pong in the park...

... drinking sexy lager...


Three little girls appeared offering me a hand painted candle 'shöne kerze'.
I was delighted, and confused, until Mark clarified that it was a present for me. They disappeared like the little elfin princesses they were... We burnt it later in the beer garden and stared into it in awe... See, a fascinating movie.



Swimming in the lake with the ever lovely Marieke. I love fresh water lakes, Berlin has them and it was hot... Another reason my heart is breaking that it's such a long expensive plane ticket away from home.


Sad story, happy story...

goodbye to berlin

it's been lovely this bit of summer...

i've been laying in annies backyard, sitting on window ledges, bbqing and drinking beer...
hanging out with loved ones... nursing sick boyfriends and sleeping in strange beds, catching buses and living out of a suitcase... it's mostly rather nice really...

I got totally spoilt by the amazing miss penelope with special gifts to take and keep me warm and shiny... much love lady...



anyway tomorrow is gonna be 31 degrees and i might just have to climb into the spa and drink an icy beer to toast the missing summer...

goodbye to berlin

Last Post

From bible house...
Moving out...
About time, since we have no food and no furniture...
ARRRH!
No more fireworks from the couch... No more gazing down the alley at fashionable Melbourne types... No more stumbling out of my house half asleep only to run into the glamourous peoples of Melbourne... No more frenchy crepe love... No more Bagels... No more studio in the building 20 steps and a creaky lift away from bed...

I have been busily crossing things off the leaving list, like summery Bbq's and exhibitions and now I just have to finish this film I'm making with ms freeze frame Kate... And present it to the staff at the school this thursday... Running out of time? ME?

yep...

and YOU? If I don't see you in my last days, it's true, I miss you already...
