This Sunday Adam and I have to sit the gallery at C3. As good a time as any to be reminded how nice last Sunday was. A BBQ in Rachael and Ed's backyard. So nice. Nice fort building by Hoops and Lydia and Samaya.
Also Happy Birthday to this little man in the basket hat. Way to be cute Clancy. Anyway, come visit us on sunday!
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.
Mayday officially welcomed the sunshine, and it's here. The city has been transformed over the last few weeks, so lush and new and fresh. It's green & growing from every crevice and piece of wasteland. Bleak streets are transformed into leafy, friendly boulevards, crammed with tables and people... It's looking lively.
For some quiet we walked in the woods today, wandering around Schlactensee... Picnicking, hunting for mushrooms & building up the courage to go swimming in the lake, next time...
We also saw lots of people walking their dogs with boat shoes & cashmere sweaters draped casually across their shoulders... We didn't raise an eyebrow with paper hats, sticks of power and my hobo picnic bundle.
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...
