(no subject)

I survived the dentist. And my chores yesterday. Then crawled into bed about 8 pm. The stifling heat had shot down my blood pressure. I woke up shortly before midnight and spent a few hours watching TV. I am still watching The Closer - although I'm not entirely sure why. I guess it's the main character. The 4400 hasn't quite hooked me. The Inside has, although not fervently.
A lady I know gave me several of her creative writing books. I also bought a few. I will faithfully review them, as soon as I find the time.
I look forward to a week without internet. I always get a lot of reading done and often a lot of writing too.
I just wish it weren't so hot.

A week without internet? Where are you going? Come back soon, won't you?

Berlin. One week. We need a holiday. We're staying in a friend's place. We can't afford anything else. Luckily, groceries are cheaper in Berlin, than in Braunschweig, and so is eating out. We'll stuff ourselves with kabobs. Yum!
We'll take a few card games and boardgames along. The idea is to spend quality time together, without the usual distractions.

I will hopefully come back with something written.

Well, I hope you have a nice, relaxing time. There must be lots to do in Berlin - hopefully, not all of it very expensive.

Thank you, dear. Yeah, hopefully we'll visit a museum, and the kids would like to go to the IMAX again. :-)
There are also parks and lakes. We'll find something to do, I'm sure.
We'll also take boardgames and cardgames.

Give me a call if you want to meet up, will you? As of today, I'm on vacation but will leave for a week away coming Saturday.
It's hot (and humid) over here, too, today even moreso. I'm so glad I don't have to go out (and my sons are old enough to do the shopping for me).

We just had a thunderstorm here. I'm glad the garden got a bit of rain. But my migraine is killing me.

I have no definite plans for our week in Berlin, but maybe we can meet. I'll call you. :-)

Okay. In any case, have a safe trip and a good time. And don't forget to take your girls to FEZ Wuhlheide (right around the corner :-)), it's a wonderful place for children to spend time, and they always have a lot of free events and stuff. My boys always loved it.

Oh, and I hope that migraine goes away quickly. I had a bit of a headache last night myself, and swollen fingers because my body doesn't handle heat well.
