Finally - the first holiday pic. That’s me with my sister Bianca and my gorgeous little sunshine.

I was actually trying to post a new photo, but somehow it doesn’t work (again). Will try it tomorrow again, I gave up for today.

Anyway, sorted all the washing and now I have some time to relax.
The holidays were absolutely great. Nice weather (finally a bit of summer), met lots of friends and family again and the best - yummy food. Mika enjoyed it too, he had a massive garden to play in, a big sandpit with water buckets, lots of cars, a cat to chase and a cousin to play with. Not to forget the grandparents and aunties who adored and worshipped him too.

One day we went to the local zoo, Mika’s first “proper” time there. He was there last year too, but he was to small then and slept all the time. Anyway, this time he was eye to eye with a leopard, only a bit of glass was between them. My grumpy boyfriend enjoyed the Penguins a lot (for obvious reasons).

Another day we went to Poland for some shopping. We got some fags for my grumpy boyfriend (only 15 Euros for 10 packs), some clothes for me and Mika and lots of toys for him too.

The most fun I had was the “driving lesson” with my old driving teacher. I think at some points he got almost some heart attacks, because he forgot that I wasn’t a “pupil” anymore. LOL But it was great driving with him again and the car was bloody fast (he he he).

One sad thing though. One day before we left my first car ever was sold to some Polish people *sniff*. I had it at my parents garden (probably only out of nostalgia), but now my eldest sister and brother-in-law need the space there, because they want to build a house.
Anyway, my dad sold it for 60 Euros *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* and now it’s gone. Forever. My cute little black Ford Fiesta. Together we went everywhere in Germany. Ah well, those were the days.

Well, what else happened. I had a great birthday party in my parents garden with the whole family (well, almost all of them anyway) and a very good friend of mine (my little “brother” I call him, even though he’s huge and not my “real” brother). We had a nice barbecue and lots of alcohol (none for me though).

I also brought some nice books with me again (love reading). Unfortunately not all of the books fitted in the suitcases, so I had to leave 3 or 4 there and only brought 5 with me. But my mum already promised to send me the rest via post (thank you dear mama).

Anyway, that’s enough for now, have to cook something, I am hungry.

Yes, I’m still alive. We are just back from the wilds of Germany and I’m so bloody exhausted. It was a great holiday, lots of fun, food and entertainment.
I keep it brief now, not much time and far to tired.
More later, probably tomorrow.

Well, well, well. The bags are packed (almost anyway) and we are ready to leave. Ok, we have to wait one more day, but then it’s off to good old Germany for 2 weeks *hooray*. I really look forward to it and can hardly wait now. It will be great seeing my family again, my sisters, nephew, and all my friends (at least the ones who still live there).

It’s also my birthday next week, so we’ll have a big party in my parents garden (gosh, another year older *sniff*) with a nice barbecue.

One day we’ll also go to Poland to a big market where we can get lots of cheap stuff (especially fags for my grumpy boyfriend). The border is not very far from where my parents live, only about 30-45 minutes, so it’s not really a long drive.

And yes, that’s what I definitely look forward to - driving again. Ok, my dads car is a bit, well, boring, because it’s automatic, but it’s nice and comfy, and most important FAST (he he he).

Anyway, we are off tomorrow, so no more blogging for the next 2 weeks here. I don’t think I will have much time, plus my parents don’t have an internet connection (yet).
I wish you all a nice weekend and I’ll be back soon.

Gerade bin ich dabei ein paar kleine Reiseplaene zu machen. Naja, nicht wirklich Reiseplaene, eher was ich am Wochenende wohl anstellen will. Donnerstag fahr ich wieder runter nach London fuer 4 Tage und da ueberleg ich jetzt wo ich ueberall hin gehe. Ich denke mal ich werd Camden einen Besuch abstatten, King`s road, Piccadilly, und vielleicht schaffe ich es auch endlich mal in die Westminster Abbey. So oft ich schon in London war und so oft ich schon dort vorbei gelaufen bin, aber ich habs noch nie hinein geschafft (vielleicht weil mich auch der Preis von £10 etwas abschreckt). Mal sehen, vielleicht ringe ich mich ja durch.
Aber abgesehen davon werd ich natuerlich auch ein paar Freunde treffen.
Es wird etwas komisch sein wenn ich Mika ein paar Tage nicht sehen werde, und wie ich mich kenne werd ich mir den lieben langen Tag nur Sorgen machen ob es ihm gut geht, ob er gut schlaeft und isst, und natuerlich ob er seine Mama vermisst. Und wie beim letzten Mal werden alle meine Sorgen voellig unbegruendet sein. LOL

Jep, heute gehts mir schon wieder etwas besser. Weiss der Geier was gestern los war, jedenfalls hat sich mein Kreislauf nach einer Weile dankend verabschiedet. Egal, heute ist ein neuer Tag, es ist nicht mehr ganz so warm und schwuel; kann man aushalten.
Wenn ich daran denke das meine Eltern jetzt schoen genuesslich am Strand von Alcudia sitzen und sich wahrscheinlich einen leckeren Sangria schmecken lassen (nicht das ich Alkohol trinke, aber zu der Zeit als ich mal dort war - in Cala Ratjada - hat er mir SEHR gemundet), dann kann man nur neidisch werden *schnief*. Mallorca ist (wenn man mal vom Ballermann absieht) eine ganz tolle Insel. Man kann so viel entdecken und man findet wirklichen jeden Landstrich vertreten, von total totem Land bis Berge und richtig schoene Waelder. Was mir damals nur sehr auf den Magen geschlagen hat sind die Serpetinen. Die kann man nicht wirklich geniessen wenn man hinten in einem kleinen Auto sitzt und der Schwager wie ein Wahnsinniger um die Kurven rauscht. Dazu hatte ich an dem Tag noch einen Sonnenstich bekommen, was nicht wirklich zu meinem Wohlbefinden beigetragen hat. Wenigenstens hatte ich die weise Voraussicht nicht die Melonen am Hotelbufett anzuruehren. Mein Schwager und mein Freund taten es und bezahlten mit einem wunderschoenen Durchfall. Mein Schwager war so clever die ganze Packung Immodium akut aufzufuttern, so das fuer meinen Freund nichts mehr uebrig blieb und er auf dem Hotelzimmer hocken bleiben musste, immer schoen in der Naehe der Toilette.
Ja, man kann wirklich Stories von Mallorca erzaehlen

I`m really in a holiday mood lately. Today I`ll book our flights to Germany and I look so forward to it. We`ll go in August for 2 weeks (wish it could be longer) and I can hardly wait now. The last time we went was over Christmas and New Years Eve and since then I haven`t seen my Dad and my eldest sister. My Mum was here 2 months ago with my 2nd sister and I already miss them so much. I`m not really homesick, I love living here, I just would like to see my family more often. Ok, and I miss the food. I really have to say that English food is not my thing, it`s far too fat. Since my operations I have to be very careful with what I eat, so everything which is fat I simply can`t eat, my stomach would kill me. So German food is much better for me (especially the yummy home-made food from my Mum) Ah well, I guess I have to wait some more months and then I am back in the wilds of Germany, he he he.
