No Post For A While (again)

Well, I know. It’s been a while so I guess it’s time to fill you in with news.

My folks had been over here (Germany) for the last three weeks and just flew out on Monday. DID NOT HAVE A GOOD MONDAY!! In fact, I went home sick. But a consolation is that my sis is once again living in London, so, not too far away and it gives me a good opportunity to drag my ass over that way once in a while. (hear there’re some pretty damn good DubStep/Grime parties going down.

Actually it’s just been so busy, the Readers Digest condensed version would kinda go something like this: Moved into new apartment > Set new apartment up (lights, blinds, furniture etc. > Broke i.e. no freakin’ money > Had house warming party (huge night-huge weekend) > Friend from Sydney came over to visit > Started German course at work (which means two 10hr days a week) > Another friend from Sydney came to visit and stay with us > Yet another friend from Sydney came to visit > Family reunion in Berlin over a weekend (which my wife and I had to organise) > A week off work to hang with my parents………………..and now we’re up to date.

So I don’t wanna sound like I’m trying to get out of it but I really have been busy. Anyways, my German seems to be improving and I’ve kinda got back some motivation to try and learn it. It’s just such a pain in the ass learning a language, you can never see the end and it seems to never get any easier (although I’m sure it is).

Basically I just wanna chill for the next few weeks although on the 28th of this month I’m cooking up a big bunch of seafood laksa because one of our friends is moving back to Switzerland and hasn’t had it before. I remember my wife’s first reaction to a Laksa when we were living in Australia and it wasn’t exactly favourable (nor was her first reaction to sushi) but she loves both of those dishes now. With Laksa I guess it’s just such a strange taste when compared with traditional European food (although some I’m sure would say the same about sauerkraut!!) Anyways, should be a fun evening and has grown to a fair amount of people, just need to find enough bowls for the Laksa.

After this I am definitely chilling for a bit, that is, until we’ve gotta go to Croatia and meet up with my wife’s Dad and stay at his holiday house in Trgit. That won’t be for another 6 weeks or so though.

So that’s it, I’ll try and stay up to date a bit better in future………..I know, I know………….I’ve said it all before, but really, I will.
