wir aßen zusammen. Auf Wunsch meiner Tochter gab es Cannelloni und weil ich so gut wie nie einen Nachtisch mache, habe ich mich diesmal überwunden und einen himbeerig-sahnigen Nachtisch gemacht. Sehr einfach, &lt;strike&gt;kalorienarm&lt;/strike&gt; und lecker!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So geht's:&lt;br /&gt;Tiefgekühlte Himbeeren auftauen, mit ca.&amp;nbsp;500 ml weißen&amp;nbsp;Joghurt mit 10 % Fettgehalt&amp;nbsp;bedecken, darüber ca. 200 ml steif geschlagene&amp;nbsp;Sahne und mit Baisergebäck verzieren. Die restlichen Baiserplätzchen klein hacken und erst beim Servieren&amp;nbsp;untermischen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday afternoon all our children were here and &lt;strike&gt;once again gobbled all the food they&amp;nbsp;could find&lt;/strike&gt; we had dinner together. On my daughter's request I had prepared cannelloni and as I almost never make a dessert I surprised everbody by making a raspberry-cream sort of trifle. Easy peasy, &lt;strike&gt;low in calories&lt;/strike&gt; and very yummy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how:&lt;br /&gt;Defrost raspberries and top them with approx. 500 ml white yoghurt with a fat content of 10 %, add approx. 200 ml whipped cream on top and decorate with small meringue cookies. Chop the remaining meringue cookies and add them when serving the dessert. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u91LbbD5G7s/TzFgh_jeNlI/AAAAAAAACxY/wnw9acwY-ms/s1600/P1070888.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="176" sda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u91LbbD5G7s/TzFgh_jeNlI/AAAAAAAACxY/wnw9acwY-ms/s400/P1070888.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zYehJJ36r-g/TzFg8G48n2I/AAAAAAAACxg/V1UDnybr5TQ/s1600/P1070889.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" sda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zYehJJ36r-g/TzFg8G48n2I/AAAAAAAACxg/V1UDnybr5TQ/s400/P1070889.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-pVTVDCalk/TzFhMALJQxI/AAAAAAAACxo/RnpsdIsXqMc/s1600/P1070891.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="365" sda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-pVTVDCalk/TzFhMALJQxI/AAAAAAAACxo/RnpsdIsXqMc/s400/P1070891.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-3040841549136654905?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3040841549136654905/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/nachtisch-dessert.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3040841549136654905'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3040841549136654905'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/nachtisch-dessert.html' title='Nachtisch / Dessert'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u91LbbD5G7s/TzFgh_jeNlI/AAAAAAAACxY/wnw9acwY-ms/s72-c/P1070888.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-4214946919354151438</id><published>2012-02-04T13:16:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-02-04T13:16:28.761+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Foto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stricken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Enkel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BVB'/><title type='text'>Glückliche Männer / Happy men</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Ich habe&amp;nbsp;kurz überlegt, wie ich diesen Blogpost nennen soll&amp;nbsp;und dann fiel mir auf, dass hier in den letzten 24 Stunden nur glückliche Männer waren: mein Enkelkind, der Freund meiner Tochter,&amp;nbsp;die BVB-Mannschaft, Kloppo, mein Mann und Bruno!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Ich habe in den letzten zwei Wochen die Automatiktaste gedrückt und habe funktioniert, mal mit mehr mal mit weniger Worten, dabei habe ich viel gestrickt.

type='text'>Der ist so süß / He is so cute</title><content type='html'>Zum Süßen kommen wir gleich. Erst die Arbeit, dann das Vergnügen. Die Kalenderwoche 3 endet gleich und es war ein wenig eng mit meiner Wochenaufgabe. Es galt, den Inhalt dieser Schublade auszumisten:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll come back to the cute one later. Business before pleasure. The calendar week 3 is going to end soon and it was getting tight with my weekly task. Namely, to muck out this drawer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mNIiJ0Xiis0/Txxd_coT2JI/AAAAAAAACug/pfN1hqP6brQ/s1600/P1070771.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" nfa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mNIiJ0Xiis0/Txxd_coT2JI/AAAAAAAACug/pfN1hqP6brQ/s320/P1070771.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-InKT9bFf2Y0/TxxfdRUWt7I/AAAAAAAACuo/L1Ozj56tflo/s1600/P1070824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-InKT9bFf2Y0/TxxfdRUWt7I/AAAAAAAACuo/L1Ozj56tflo/s320/P1070824.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eile war geboten, denn der BVB sollte spielen und ich hatte nicht mehr viel Zeit. Als habe ich den ganzen Inhalt auf den Boden geworfen, in zwei Haufen sortiert und die Sachen, die ich behalten möchte, wieder ordentlich reingelegt. Bleibt festzustellen, dass sich hier Schriftstücke aus dem Jahr 2004 fanden, die hier nichts zu suchen hatten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speed was required because the BVB was about to play and I didn't have much time. I threw the whole content on the floor, sorted it in two piles and put the stuff back that I wanted to keep. Note that I found some documents from the year 2004 which were in the wrong place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hHXq3IbGSkw/TxxhayXHI3I/AAAAAAAACuw/nViKWRaPa4Q/s1600/P1070827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hHXq3IbGSkw/TxxhayXHI3I/AAAAAAAACuw/nViKWRaPa4Q/s320/P1070827.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Für die nächste Wochenaufgabe habe ich mir gleich zwei Wochen Zeit genommen, so furchtbar ist sie. Darüber bald mehr. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Heute ist mir aufgefallen, dass dieser Blog an akutem Bildermangel leidet: an denen meines Enkels. Bitte sehr:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;***&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I've already taken into account two weeks for my next goal, it's that bad. Watch this space.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;And I've also noticed that this blog lacks a great deal of photographs: those of my grandson. Here you go:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-13JJ3ftVwxs/Txxiw2xMquI/AAAAAAAACu4/q01ZO88DvrE/s1600/IMG_0842.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" nfa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-13JJ3ftVwxs/Txxiw2xMquI/AAAAAAAACu4/q01ZO88DvrE/s400/IMG_0842.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;5 Monate alt / 5 months old&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c27OM7Pm6Ho/Txxkcua5f4I/AAAAAAAACvA/AJwNA-lmJvU/s1600/K%25C3%25BCrzlich+aktualisiert13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" nfa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c27OM7Pm6Ho/Txxkcua5f4I/AAAAAAAACvA/AJwNA-lmJvU/s400/K%25C3%25BCrzlich+aktualisiert13.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hiN8dhxYBl0/TxxmRQflAFI/AAAAAAAACvI/meLYgLB7YZw/s1600/P1070842.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" nfa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hiN8dhxYBl0/TxxmRQflAFI/AAAAAAAACvI/meLYgLB7YZw/s400/P1070842.JPG" width="393" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-943935506447461436?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/943935506447461436/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/der-ist-so-su-he-is-so-cute.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/943935506447461436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/943935506447461436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/der-ist-so-su-he-is-so-cute.html' title='Der ist so süß / He is so cute'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mNIiJ0Xiis0/Txxd_coT2JI/AAAAAAAACug/pfN1hqP6brQ/s72-c/P1070771.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-364234336025324698</id><published>2012-01-21T15:07:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T20:56:01.742+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stricken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heim'/><title type='text'>Sneak Preview</title><content type='html'>Hier ist nicht viel los und das ist gut so. Zeit zum ausruhen, stricken, Fußball gucken (ha ha ho ho hooooo Bayern München - das war nix), Biathlon gucken, essen und etwas Blog schreiben. Heute Abend kommen liebe Freunde zum Karten spielen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier schon mal ein kleines Leckerbissen aus unserem Bad:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's not much going on here and that's good. Time to relax, knit, watch football (ha ha ho ho hoooooo Bayern Munich - that wasn't good), watch biathlon, eat and blog a little. Tonight friends will come over for a game of cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a little treat from our bath:﻿﻿&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6neL9LKNWlU/TxrBs9Cr-GI/AAAAAAAACuA/eNqYf6mbaaM/s1600/P1070803.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" nfa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6neL9LKNWlU/TxrBs9Cr-GI/AAAAAAAACuA/eNqYf6mbaaM/s400/P1070803.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;schön? / nice?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TehKlJYgrM0/TxrB-sujBjI/AAAAAAAACuI/wzH6TpYgrkk/s1600/P1070804.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TehKlJYgrM0/TxrB-sujBjI/AAAAAAAACuI/wzH6TpYgrkk/s400/P1070804.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Hier war mal ein Kran. Richtig, ein Kran. Wir wohnen schließlich unter dem Dach und da braucht man schon mal einen Kran im Badezimmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There used to be a crane here. That's right, a crane. After all we live at the top floor and in that case you certainly need a crane in your bathroom.﻿﻿﻿&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das nachfolgende Projekt wird hoffentlich auch bald fertig. Zumindestens so lange noch Winter ist. Mein Mann wartet&amp;nbsp;geduldig darauf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully the following project is going to be finished soon. At least while it's still winter.

Das geht wesentlich&amp;nbsp;schneller, als wenn ich die ca. 1000 km allein mit dem Auto fahre. Die Flugzeit ist ca. 1,5 Stunden&amp;nbsp;und von Kattowitz sind es noch einmal ca. 2,5 Stunden mit dem Auto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;nbsp;was already&amp;nbsp;decided&amp;nbsp;a couple of weeks back&amp;nbsp;but now I have booked the flights: I'm flying from Dortmund to Katowice mid March and will be going to &lt;span class="st"&gt;Šternberk from there. That is much faster than driving the approx. 1000 km by car, and on my own. The flying time is approx. 1,5 hours and from Katowice it is another estimated 2,5 hours by car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heute sind DH und ich rund um den Hengsteysee gelaufen. Das Wetter war ideal: kalt und sonnig, wir sind fast zwei Stunden gelaufen.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;DH and I walked around the lake Hengstey today.

Angebote werden erstellt und wir haben uns heute vorgenommen, Fliesen anzusehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kein leichtes Unterfangen, wenn ich bedenke, wie stark unterschiedliche Meinungen DH und ich haben können. In solch schwierigen Zeiten jedoch halten wir zusammen und so sind wir uns heute sehr schnell und sehr einig geworden. Klar, ist ja auch schlicht, stylish und teurer als alles andere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wir sind uns auch einig, dass wir unsere jetzigen Fliesen in den Bädern nicht mehr sehen können. Die Farbe&amp;nbsp;"ich-übergebe-mich-gleich-Beige" und die dazugehörigen japanischen Blütenzweige nebst Vögelchen haben ausgedient. Fotos zur allgemeinen Belustigung folgen demnächst (alle Kommentare&amp;nbsp;nach dem Motto&amp;nbsp;"die sind doch soooooooooo schön" werden gelöscht!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plans to renovate the bathroom (with bath tub) and the guest bathroom (that's where our shower is as well) are becoming more real. Offers are being made und we set off to have a look at some tiles today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not an easy task, since DH and I can have strongly opposed views at times. But we do stick together in such difficult times and have come to a speedy agreement today. Needless to say it's plain, stylish and more expensive than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also agree that we can no longer endure the current tiles in our bathrooms. The colour "I'm-going-to-be-sick-soon-beige" and the corresponding Japanese flowering twigs together with their lovely birds belong to the past. I'll post some pics for general entertainment soon (all comments of the kind&amp;nbsp;"but they are soooooooooo nice" will be deleted!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cNil1KBUwuc/TxBqdclfcWI/AAAAAAAACs8/AuMPLgnGaBw/s1600/IMG_0836.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cNil1KBUwuc/TxBqdclfcWI/AAAAAAAACs8/AuMPLgnGaBw/s400/IMG_0836.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Boden und Wandfliesen / floor and wall tiles&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KxktuHqM9PA/TxBqpofRMMI/AAAAAAAACtE/EmahcdvOK_M/s1600/IMG_0838.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" kba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KxktuHqM9PA/TxBqpofRMMI/AAAAAAAACtE/EmahcdvOK_M/s400/IMG_0838.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Farbbeispiel Boden / colour sample floor&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eNS9VK3aKA8/TxBqzhfx5rI/AAAAAAAACtM/wfEtqtAIFSg/s1600/IMG_0837.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eNS9VK3aKA8/TxBqzhfx5rI/AAAAAAAACtM/wfEtqtAIFSg/s400/IMG_0837.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXkbSGtUn38/TxBsjAAnnqI/AAAAAAAACtU/ivTgBhO18MM/s1600/1296.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="142" kba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXkbSGtUn38/TxBsjAAnnqI/AAAAAAAACtU/ivTgBhO18MM/s320/1296.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-3132739616443313809?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3132739616443313809/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/fliesen-tiles.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3132739616443313809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3132739616443313809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/fliesen-tiles.html' title='Fliesen / Tiles'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cNil1KBUwuc/TxBqdclfcWI/AAAAAAAACs8/AuMPLgnGaBw/s72-c/IMG_0836.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-1078468885598663517</id><published>2012-01-12T19:41:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T19:41:28.309+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heim'/><title type='text'>Die zweite Woche / The second week</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Die zweite Woche ist dem Vorrats-/Gewürzschrank in der Küche gewidmet.

Quite wisely I was never able to reach this top shelf, unless I took the trouble to fetch a chair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, the bigger boxes were moved to the top - directly at the edge - and the smaller stuff in the middle shelf. Hooray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VASzyR95Na0/Tw8jeoFN_uI/AAAAAAAACs0/W1qThuFhG-Y/s1600/P1070796.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="243" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VASzyR95Na0/Tw8jeoFN_uI/AAAAAAAACs0/W1qThuFhG-Y/s320/P1070796.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen und es sind noch einige Dosen frei. Man beachte bitte den BVB Weihnachtsmann links. Der bleibt das ganze Jahr dran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the result and still have some empty boxes. Please note the yellow BVB Santa Claus. He stays there the whole year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-1078468885598663517?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1078468885598663517/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/die-zweite-woche-second-week.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/1078468885598663517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/1078468885598663517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/die-zweite-woche-second-week.html' title='Die zweite Woche / The second week'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--ynPphVvweQ/Tw8i11yzCyI/AAAAAAAACsk/3tWgL-zrMw4/s72-c/P1070790.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-5390959799095974416</id><published>2012-01-08T18:45:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T18:46:04.382+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stricken'/><title type='text'>Gestrickt / Knitted</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bhy8z1H_wj8/TwnUU_R1-xI/AAAAAAAACsU/kSIgwAFiO20/s1600/IMG_0821.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bhy8z1H_wj8/TwnUU_R1-xI/AAAAAAAACsU/kSIgwAFiO20/s400/IMG_0821.JPG" width="220" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Eisprinz / ice prince&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Das sehr schöne Monatsunikat Januar von Tausendschön.

Er handelt von dem mürrischen argentinischen Eisenwarenhändler Roberto, der eines Tages den chinesischen Jungen Jun bei sich aufnimmt. Jun ist auf der Suche nach seinem Onkel und spricht kein Wort Spanisch. Das nicht freiwillige Zusammenleben dieser beiden gegensätzlichen Männer und das Aufeinandertreffen der so unterschiedlichen Kulturen macht den Reiz dieses Films aus. Es gibt komische, einige traurige und viele einfach nur schöne Szenen zu sehen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DH ist normalerweise der Filmtyp Schwarzenegger-Avatar-Independence Day, aber diese wundervolle Komödie hat auch ihm gefallen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So ganz nebenbei möchte ich dafür sorgen, dass &lt;a href="http://www.roxydortmund.de/"&gt;dieses Kino&lt;/a&gt; niemals schließen darf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the title of a new Argentinian film with Ricardo Darin. It is about the grumpy Argentinian hardware salesman Roberto who accommodates the Chinese boy Jun one day&amp;nbsp;. Jun is searching for his uncle and doesn't speak Spanish. The involuntary coexistence of the two opposed men and the clash of these different cultures makes this film particularly charming. The film shows funny, some sad and many simply nice scenes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even DH, who&amp;nbsp;usually prefers&amp;nbsp;film&amp;nbsp;styles like&amp;nbsp;Schwarzenegger-Avatar-Independence Day, has liked this wonderful comedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I insist on ensuring that &lt;a href="http://www.roxydortmund.de/"&gt;this cinema&lt;/a&gt; is never going to die.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-5589588969114384871?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5589588969114384871/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ein-chinese-zum-mitnehmen-un-cuento.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/5589588969114384871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/5589588969114384871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ein-chinese-zum-mitnehmen-un-cuento.html' title='Ein Chinese zum Mitnehmen / Un cuento chino'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0FT7XomPQFE/TwnKFXDD7jI/AAAAAAAACsM/pc2Oh0vQGTc/s72-c/ein-chinese-zum-mitnehmen-hauptplakat-ascot-24-bilder.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-4800132727083839343</id><published>2012-01-07T19:58:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-07T19:58:58.785+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heim'/><title type='text'>Baustellen / Construction sites</title><content type='html'>Ich habe zu Hause viele "Baustellen". Das sind Schränke, Schubladen, Ecken oder einfach nur einige Plätze, die mal wieder dringend ordentlich aufgeräumt, sortiert oder geleert werden müssen. Also dachte ich mir, dass sich das neue Jahr und mein schönes schwarzes Notizbuch hervorragend dazu eignen, einen Plan zu machen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich trage für jede Kalenderwoche etwas ein, was&amp;nbsp;in der Zeit von Montag&amp;nbsp;bis Sonntag erledigt werden muß. Diese Woche = Kalenderwoche 1 ist es mein Spiegelschrank im Bad, der ungefähr so aussah:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have many "construction sites" at home. These are mainly cupboards, drawers, corners or simply some places which&amp;nbsp;should&amp;nbsp;urgently be cleaned,&amp;nbsp;sorted&amp;nbsp;or cleared out. There is no better occasion than the beginning of the new year and so I took my new notebook and made a plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For each calendar week I set myself a goal which has to be&amp;nbsp;accomplished in the period&amp;nbsp;from Monday to Sunday in that week. This week = calendar week 1 it is my bathroom mirror cabinet which looked something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G3C27eh9pkY/TwiMK3xTY_I/AAAAAAAACrs/CMSphCPcPiA/s1600/P1070770.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G3C27eh9pkY/TwiMK3xTY_I/AAAAAAAACrs/CMSphCPcPiA/s320/P1070770.JPG" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;vorher / before&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Montag schien mir die Woche noch endlos, aber heute morgen dachte ich an meinen neuen Vorsatz und die nächsten 51 Kalenderwochen und schritt beherzt zur Tat. Es hat auch nicht lange gedauert und ich bin jetzt&amp;nbsp;stolz darauf, mein Ziel noch vor Sonntag geschafft zu haben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mein Mann - der ja bei uns für Putz + Ordnung zuständig ist - freut sich sehr und hofft, dass der neue Vorsatz nicht nur bis zur Kalenderwoche 2 reicht. Ich werde berichten).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So sieht's jetzt aus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, the week seemed to be endless but this morning I thought of my new resolutions and the next 51 calendar weeks and took&amp;nbsp;immediate action. It didn't even take long and I'm now quite proud to have reached my goal before Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My man - who is responsible for cleaning + orderliness in our home - is very happy and hopes that my resolution will last longer than the calendar week 2.

Aufgetischt wurden Oliven, Salami, getrocknete Tomaten mit Trüffeln, eine Flasche Rotwein und Pasta mit einer Fleischsosse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In dem anderen befanden sich das Kochbuch "Schwäbische Küche", was neben Wildgerichten z.B. auch eine Weinsuppe enthält. Natürlich fehlen auch nicht die typisch schwäbischen Spezialitäten wie Käsespätzle, Zwiebelkuchen &amp;amp; Co. Passenderweise enthielt das Präsent ein Päckchen Spätzle, zwei Flaschen Bier und vier Dosen mit unterschiedlichen Wurstarten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year, I have received two big food packages in the office and I'm very happy with both of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One was meant for an Italian food event which we already celebrated together with my friend Miss Canada Dry last Thursday. We served olives, salami, dried tomatoes with truffels, a bottle of red wine and pasta with a meat sauce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other package contained&amp;nbsp;a Swabian cook book which includes game recipes as well as for example a wine soup. There are also the typical Swabian specialties such as cheese spaetzle, an onion pie &amp;amp; co. Matching those recipes the present included a package with spaetzle, two bottles of beer and four tins with various meats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6wBJrUlPNYQ/Tu3N3RrXJ0I/AAAAAAAAClI/a9Uvsp6PO2I/s1600/IMG_0723.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6wBJrUlPNYQ/Tu3N3RrXJ0I/AAAAAAAAClI/a9Uvsp6PO2I/s320/IMG_0723.JPG" width="233" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9v3doF9v4YU/Tu3ODh37ucI/AAAAAAAAClQ/YoPW2XfmVUg/s1600/IMG_0724.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9v3doF9v4YU/Tu3ODh37ucI/AAAAAAAAClQ/YoPW2XfmVUg/s320/IMG_0724.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-veGjMJ6VbV8/Tu3OPEsYJWI/AAAAAAAAClY/wbZovJpxaAY/s1600/IMG_0725.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-veGjMJ6VbV8/Tu3OPEsYJWI/AAAAAAAAClY/wbZovJpxaAY/s320/IMG_0725.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dieses schöne Notizbuch habe ich auch geschenkt bekommen, es hat so schöne Details. / I also&amp;nbsp;received this lovely notebook with nice details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-swuxjbdtMJ0/Tu3OQBDMOfI/AAAAAAAAClg/u4Q5FBVa1eI/s1600/IMG_0713.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-swuxjbdtMJ0/Tu3OQBDMOfI/AAAAAAAAClg/u4Q5FBVa1eI/s400/IMG_0713.JPG" width="265" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Zusätzlich schiebe ich noch ein Foto meines Enkels ein, welches mir meine Tochter letzte Woche geschickt hatte.

Nur gestern, da wollte das mit dem Sieg nicht so recht klappen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I went to the stadium with my uncle Online, it's almot a tradition. Two years ago we played against Freiburg und were shivering with cold at temperatures of -15 C°. We drank mulled wine instead of beer. It was a little warmer when Borussia played against Werder Bremen last year. But both times Borussia had won. We were not so fortunate yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5O4v41_2sas/TuXii0MHJAI/AAAAAAAACkc/NgDeg2VWXYo/s1600/P1060937.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" mda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5O4v41_2sas/TuXii0MHJAI/AAAAAAAACkc/NgDeg2VWXYo/s320/P1060937.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich stricke auch noch, nur kann ich drei der zuletzt entstandenen Werke hier nicht zeigen. Ein Geschenk ist schon unterwegs zur Empfängerin, die mir dann hoffentlich bald Fotos schickt. Eines ist bereits verpackt und wartet auf Weihnachten und eines für eine liebe Schwiegermutter ist bald fertig. Also zeige ich ein schönes Schalmuster, ein Werk für meinen Mann. Es kommt nur langsam voran, aber ich werde diese Strickarbeit mit in den Winterurlaub nehmen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und dann habe ich noch einen Pullover für mich angefangen, davon später mehr.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;I'm still knitting but cannot show the three present that I had been working on lately. One present is already on its way to the recipient who is hopefully going to send me photos soon. One is already wrapped and is waiting until Christmas und the next one is for a nice mother in law and is almost finished. So please have a look a this wonderful scarf pattern, it's for my man. It's growing slowly but I'll take it with me in our winter holidays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I've also begun knitting a sweater for myself, more details to follow soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-8687144185173166267?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8687144185173166267/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/bvb-kaiserslautern.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/8687144185173166267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/8687144185173166267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/bvb-kaiserslautern.html' title='BVB : Kaiserslautern'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CBcDMRys9cQ/TuXegA6gN5I/AAAAAAAACkE/E8lrscAAST4/s72-c/P1070699.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-1596555501175139994</id><published>2011-12-09T14:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-09T14:14:10.748+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Nikolausi</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B4fovcUODOA/TuIIcZ6eiRI/AAAAAAAACj0/_bHzrSJRKG4/s1600/IMG_0703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" mda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B4fovcUODOA/TuIIcZ6eiRI/AAAAAAAACj0/_bHzrSJRKG4/s400/IMG_0703.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So kam mein Mann am Dienstag Abend nach Hause.

Ich habe zum ersten Mal doch etwas anderes gebacken als Vanillekipferl. Wäre doch gelacht, wenn ich nicht auch Spritzgebäck zaubern könnte. Konnte ich, aber es war mühevoll, immer den Teig in die Spritztüte nachzufüllen und dann auch noch einhändig, weil die andere Hand schon voll mit Teig war. Egal, meine Tochter hat sich gefreut und die Gäste auch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you are! For the first time, I have baked something else than vanilla crescents:&amp;nbsp;butter biscuits. To be honest, it was a bit troublesome to refill the piping bag with one hand only as the other one was already full of dough. Nevermind, my daughter and our guests were happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

A dream!&amp;nbsp;Not too many ingredients, one pot to stir in, a marble cake form, 45 minutes of baking and finito. Add a&amp;nbsp;cup of coffee and I'm happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9bGa_9QGnaE/Tr-mpQB6ZAI/AAAAAAAACf8/CqKXUwC1Z6o/s1600/P1070560.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="209" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9bGa_9QGnaE/Tr-mpQB6ZAI/AAAAAAAACf8/CqKXUwC1Z6o/s320/P1070560.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Seitdem wir Weihnachten in den Urlaub fahren (und dieses Jahr fahren wir auch), dekoriere ich die Wohnung nicht mehr mit Weihnachtsschmuck. Aber an diesen Sets konnte ich nicht vorbeigehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we have begun to go on holidays during the Christmas time (and we are going again this year) I have stopped decorating our flat with Christmas ornaments. I could not resists these&amp;nbsp;place mats though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ER4BAC5onvQ/Tr-s6LQ0qSI/AAAAAAAACgM/jfDqExO-rck/s1600/P1070561.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ER4BAC5onvQ/Tr-s6LQ0qSI/AAAAAAAACgM/jfDqExO-rck/s320/P1070561.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-2053830910634085288?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2053830910634085288/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/sonntags-bei-thora-sundays-at-thoras.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/2053830910634085288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/2053830910634085288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/sonntags-bei-thora-sundays-at-thoras.html' title='Sonntags bei Thora / Sundays at Thora&apos;s'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uT6yjjtQ5kg/Tr-i6KSSiAI/AAAAAAAACfM/bo3ixfR0zJA/s72-c/P1070558.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-3789911602654859154</id><published>2011-11-12T16:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T16:03:23.282+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oma'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Enkel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tochter'/><title type='text'>Baby baby baby + baby</title><content type='html'>Unser Enkel ist über Nacht bei uns geblieben. Ich gebe zu, dass ich vorher etwas nervös war. Deshalb bin ich mit dem Kleinen ins Gästebett gezogen, damit ich nachts jederzeit aufspringen und Fläschchen machen konnte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aufgesprungen bin ich unzählige Male, der Kleine aber hat 10 Stunden durchgeschlafen! Als er beliebte endlich wach zu werden heute Morgen, war sein Fläschchen schon fertig und er mußte nur den niedlichen Mund aufmachen. Der heutige Vormittag war dann nicht so niedlich, aus uns unerklärlichen Gründen gab es mehrere Konzerte des Teufelchens bis wir uns den Kinderwagen geschnappt haben und mehrere Runden um den Block drehten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die glückliche Mama, die am gestrigen 11.11.2011 Geburtstag hatte, war feiern. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our grandchild has stayed overnight for the first time.&amp;nbsp;I do admit I was a little nervous yesterday. Because I wanted to be able to jump out of bed and feed the hungry baby at any time during the night&amp;nbsp;I moved into the guestroom with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did jump out of bed countless times but the baby has slept through for 10 hours! When he finally&amp;nbsp;chose to wake up this morning his food was waiting for him and all he had to do was open his&amp;nbsp;cute little mouth.&amp;nbsp;The rest of this morning wasn't so cute anymore,&amp;nbsp;due to reasons unknown to us there were quite a few concerts from the little devil until we finally took the pram and went for a walk around the block.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The happy mummy went out to celebrate her birthday yesterday, on the 11.11.2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

Allerdings, liebe Freunde aus dem In- und Ausland, dieses Jahr toppen wir alles. Seht selbst:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;will of course be in Dortmund once again. This time however, my dear friends from the home and foreign countries, we will outclass everything.

Wie schön, dass ich Urlaub habe,&amp;nbsp;denn diese Attraktion&amp;nbsp;werde ich mir bestimmt nicht entgehen lassen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geteilte Stadt?

Es ist (leider leider) in Hamburg und heißt "mylys" (my local yarn shop). Ja ja ja, schon wieder ein Wollgeschäft. Nein, meine Damen und Herren, dieses hier ist anders: links ein Café, rechts der Wolladen. Ein Paradies! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich hatte keine Zeit, um das schöne Kuchenangebot im Café zu testen, hatte mir aber auf die Schnelle ein Wasser gekauft und ein paar Worte mit der netten Dame am Kuchentresen gewechselt. Meine Freundin J.Rabbit hielt sich dort längere Zeit auf, weil sie unsere Begeisterung für Wolle nicht so ganz teilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auch mit der Inhaberin habe ich ein paar Worte gewechselt und sie um die Erlaubnis gefragt, die nachfolgenden Bilder machen zu dürfen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liebe Frau Polletta, vielen Dank für die netten Worte und den herzlichen Empfang. Ich werde Sie von nun an immer besuchen, sobald ich wieder in Hamburg weile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Muß ich hier noch jemandem die Vorzüge eines Cafés und eines Wollgeschäfts in Einem erklären? Ich denke kaum.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the style of the film "My beautiful laundrette" I would like to present a wool shop today. It is in Hamburg (very unfortunately) and is named "mylys" (my local yarn shop). I know, yet another wool shop. No, dear ladies and gents, this one is special: a café on the left, a wool shop on the right. A paradise!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't have any time to try the cakes on offer in the café but I quickly bought a bottle of water and exchanged some words with the nice lady behind the counter. My friend J.Rabbit spent some time there as she is not quite as addicted to wool.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I've also exchanged a couple of sentences with the shop owner and asked&amp;nbsp;for her permission to take the below pics.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Dear Mrs. Polletta, it was a pleasure talking to you and thank you for the warm welcome. In future, I will always visit your wool shop&amp;nbsp;whenever I'll stay in&amp;nbsp;Hamburg.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;(Do I have to elaborate on the advantages of a café and a wool shop in one? I don't think so.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HYfrZ6DyM7M/TqWmc-Pro8I/AAAAAAAACa8/L5m85fqipOY/s1600/P1070052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

Das ist ein Grund zum Feiern, aber das machen wir erst, wenn alle Verträge gezeichnet sind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Freitag habe ich mit allen Arbeitskolleginnen und -kollegen aus dem Vertrieb einen abendlichen Ausflug nach Dortmund unternommen: wir waren &lt;a href="http://www.kyoto-dortmund.de/"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt; Sushi essen. Sehr empfehlenswert. (Dank&amp;nbsp;iPhone waren wir natürlich auch über den BVB Sieg in Bremen informiert.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gestrickt habe ich auch, dieser Schal ist fertig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went out for a short walk to the home of our landlords this afternoon, with far reaching consequences: this flat where we have been living for 10 years now is going to be mine very soon. Celebrations are on the way but all contracts will have to be signed first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday evening&amp;nbsp;all of my colleagues from the sales and I went out to Dortmund, we went&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.kyoto-dortmund.de/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for a sushi meal. Very recommendable.

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Passend zu den Herbstfarben habe ich auch ein neues Strickprojekt in Arbeit, einen ganz leichen Schal aus Lana Grossa Lace-Wolle mit einem wunderschönen Farbverlauf. Gestrickt wird mit Nadelstärke 4 mm, was bei dem sehr dünnen Garn anstrengend für die Finger und Hände ist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;***&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Matching the colours of autumn I have cast on a new knitting project, a light scarf from Lana Grossa Lace-wool with wonderful gradient colours. It's being knitted with a size 4 mm needle which is quite strenuous for fingers and hands with the very thin yarn.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gBcLK6dYj-o/Tn7_TCM3QOI/AAAAAAAACXo/Id5_SnrNDWM/s1600/P1060945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hca="true" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gBcLK6dYj-o/Tn7_TCM3QOI/AAAAAAAACXo/Id5_SnrNDWM/s400/P1060945.JPG" width="170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Hier noch einmal die Erinnerung, dass ich eine Fußball-verrückte Oma bin. Glücklicherweise gab es gestern wieder einen Grund zum Jubeln, in&amp;nbsp;buchstäblich letzter Minute gewann Dortmund 2:1&amp;nbsp;in Mainz.

Die Grüntöne haben mir auf Anhieb gefallen, aber die wasserblauen und fast weißen Anteile gar nicht. Was nun? Lange habe ich überlegt, was ich daraus stricken wollte und vor allem für wen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erst habe ich ein Tuch angefangen, bzw. anfangen wollen, aber trotz 30jähriger Strickerfahrung bekam ich den Anfang nicht hin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dann kam ich auf die Idee, mir selbst ein paar Socken zu stricken. Das Muster Tadpoles, das ich in Ravelry gespeichert hatte, schien mir ideal und siehe da, es wird schön! Bis es allerdings so weit war wie jetzt, brauchte es ein paar Neuanfänge, denn die Streifen waren zu schmal und gefielen mir nicht. Jetzt ist es genau richtig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ReFAyTUqOLE/TmNbcKD46lI/AAAAAAAACVY/8btsJUM6r6c/s1600/P1060876.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="113" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ReFAyTUqOLE/TmNbcKD46lI/AAAAAAAACVY/8btsJUM6r6c/s320/P1060876.JPG" width="320" xaa="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Wassernixe / Mermaid&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T5OxlMdukas/TmNcHx3d6iI/AAAAAAAACVc/HG1jEOraqVw/s1600/P1060877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T5OxlMdukas/TmNcHx3d6iI/AAAAAAAACVc/HG1jEOraqVw/s320/P1060877.JPG" width="240" xaa="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tausendschön's September wool is&amp;nbsp;called Mermaid. I liked the green colours immediately but not the waterblue and almost white parts. Now what?&amp;nbsp;It took me a long time to decide what&amp;nbsp;to knit from this strand and for whom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First I started knitting a shawl, or wanted to start, but although I've had more than 30 years of knitting experience I did not succeed with the first rows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I remembered I had wanted to knit another pair of socks for myself. The pattern Tadpoles from Ravelry seemed ideal and it obviously is, I like the result. It took some trials until it worked because first there were thin stripes and I didn't like that. It's almost perfect now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-og3DDgXFXY0/TmNc1XDqGKI/AAAAAAAACVg/g2Za5B1dYJw/s1600/P1060886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-og3DDgXFXY0/TmNc1XDqGKI/AAAAAAAACVg/g2Za5B1dYJw/s400/P1060886.JPG" width="300" xaa="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und das hier wird ein Schlafsack für meinen Enkel.

Seitdem sind regelmäßige Messebesuche Pflicht und in den letzten Jahren habe ich diverse Geschäftsreisen unternommen,&amp;nbsp;besonders intensiv&amp;nbsp;seit etwas mehr als einem Jahr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und natürlich hatten wir unzählige Besucher in unserer Firma und kennen die meisten unserer Gesprächspartner persönlich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So sind im Laufe der letzten Jahre auch Freundschaften oder zumindest tiefe Sympathien entstanden. Ich habe zwei liebe Ex-Kolleginnen in China, mit denen ich E-Mails austausche (oder die meinen Blog lesen :-), einen Geschäftspartner in meiner Heimat, den ich in unregelmäßigen Abständen privat besuche und der auch schon bei uns zu Hause war oder zum Beispiel einen amerikanischen Kunden, der nun anläßlich einer Privatreise nach England einen kurzen Abstecher zu uns in die Firma gemacht hat, zusammen mit seiner Frau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das hat mich sehr gefreut, denn diesen Geschäftspartner schätze ich sehr und wir pflegen einen guten E-Mail-Verkehr zwischen unseren Büros und lenken uns von unseren alltäglichen (Geschäfts-)Problemen ab. Dass ich nun seine Frau kennenlernen durfte, empfinde ich als große Ehre und so war es fast selbstverständlich, dass wir das Ehepaar nicht nur in unserer Firma empfangen und betreut haben, sondern auch den heutigen Tag mit ihnen verbracht hatten, bis sie wieder nach England zurückgeflogen sind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Einen kleinen Teil des Tages haben wir in Köln verbracht, bei schönstem Sommerwetter. Ich bin diese Woche das dritte Mal hintereinander sehr spät zu Hause, aber ich möchte diese Tage oder Gelegenheiten nicht missen. Sie sind eine Bereicherung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been working in the export department of a medium-sized and family owned company for more than 14 years and&amp;nbsp;in 1998 I went to an exhibition&amp;nbsp;in Düsseldorf for a week and for the first time. Ever since these visits at various fairs / exhibitions are obligatory and I have been on quite a few business trips in the last years and more intensively for a little more than one year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course we have had countless visitors in our company and we&amp;nbsp;have met&amp;nbsp;most of our business contacts personally.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;In the course of the past years even friendships or at least acquaintances resulted from these contacts. I have two lovely ex-colleagues in China with whom I exchange e-mails (or who read my blog :-), a business partner in my home country whom I visit on a private basis from time to time or who had been invited to our home, or for example this American customer who came to visit our company during his private&amp;nbsp;stay with his&amp;nbsp;family in England, together with his wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had been looking forward to this visit because I like this business partner a lot and we exchange e-mails from office to office and distract each other from our&amp;nbsp;everyday (business) problems. It&amp;nbsp;was a great honour for me to be able to meet his wife and it was quite obvious that we not only welcomed and entertained this couple&amp;nbsp;in our company but spent some time with them today until&amp;nbsp;it was time for them to catch their plane back to England.&lt;br /&gt;We have spent&amp;nbsp;part of the day in Cologne and were fortunate enough to have summery weather. It's the third time in a row that I have come back home very late but I do not want to miss these days or occasions. They are an enrichment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-1348903042982099369?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1348903042982099369/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/geschaftsbeziehungen-business.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/1348903042982099369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/1348903042982099369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/geschaftsbeziehungen-business.html' title='Geschäftsbeziehungen / Business relationships'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ogfUv95uQPQ/Tl6DYmjOqxI/AAAAAAAACUs/7XzUM4dqNgg/s72-c/IMG_0590.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-8445552377248948310</id><published>2011-08-28T21:40:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-28T21:40:47.337+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Letzte Woche / Last week</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;... bestand überwiegend aus Arbeit und etwas mehr Arbeit. Sorge hatte ich, als meine Tochter schon Montag aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen wurde und sich auf einmal in einer neuen Lebenssituation befand. Ohne uns, in der eigenen Wohnung, mit Kind, mit Freund.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zum Glück wohnt sie gegenüber dem Krankenhaus und weiß, dass sie dort jederzeit um Hilfe und Rat fragen kann oder mal eben mit dem Baby vorbeischauen kann. Noch mehr Glück ist, dass der kleine Junge sehr friedlich ist und nur weint, wenn er Hunger oder einen kleinen Magenkrampf, oder die Buxe voll hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meistens sieht er so aus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;... consisted more or less of work and even more work. I was a little worried when my daughter left the hospital on Monday already and found herself in a completeley new life. Without us, in her own flat, with a child, with a boyfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, she lives very close to the hospital and knows that she can drop by at any time with the baby&amp;nbsp;and ask for assistance. It is even more fortunate that the little boy is extremely peaceful and cries only in case of hunger, a minor&amp;nbsp;tummy cramp&amp;nbsp;or with a full nappy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time he looks like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFWKGywfANQ/TlqVREz-NuI/AAAAAAAACUo/NaXAePwe-_g/s1600/P1060870.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" qaa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFWKGywfANQ/TlqVREz-NuI/AAAAAAAACUo/NaXAePwe-_g/s400/P1060870.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was mich sonst noch interessiert / beschäftigt hat:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- die Auslosung der Champions League Spiele - wow, ich freue mich jetzt schon&lt;br /&gt;- das Spiel Leverkusen gegen BVB - was ich leider nicht ganz sehen konnte&lt;br /&gt;- Stricken&lt;br /&gt;- Kochen und Backen&lt;br /&gt;- Tochter und Baby&lt;br /&gt;- Guano Apes&lt;br /&gt;- mein iPad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Konzert der Guano Apes war am Kemnader See anläßlich des &lt;a href="http://www.zeltfestivalruhr.de/"&gt;Zeltfestival Ruhr 2011&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;und für uns ein voller Erfolg. Sandra Nasic hat eine sehr ausdrucksstarke Stimme und auch wenn die Akustik nicht hundertprozentig war, ihre Stimme war umwerfend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein ganz herzliches Wiedersehen gab es auch zu feiern: gestern habe ich nach mindestens 15 Jahren die Schwester meines Ex-Mannes wiedergesehen. Sie ist jetzt etwas über 30 und hat einen 6 jährigen Sohn. Die Freude war auf beiden Seiten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else kept me busy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- the draw of the Champions League matches&amp;nbsp;- wow,&amp;nbsp;I'm already looking forward to that&lt;br /&gt;- the match&amp;nbsp;Leverkusen&amp;nbsp;vs. BVB - which I could not watch completely, unfortunately&lt;br /&gt;- knitting&lt;br /&gt;- cooking and baking&lt;br /&gt;- daughter and baby&lt;br /&gt;- Guano Apes&lt;br /&gt;- my iPad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Guano Apes&amp;nbsp;concert was at the lake&amp;nbsp;Kemnade during the &lt;a href="http://www.zeltfestivalruhr.de/"&gt;Ruhr 2011 festival&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;a great success for us. Sandra Nasic's voice is expressively strong and even though the acoustics were not hundert percent, her voice was stunning.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;A very cordial reunion had been celebrated as well: after a minimum of 15 years&amp;nbsp;the sister of my ex husband and I met again yesterday. She is now in her early thirties and has a six year old son. We were both very happy to see each other.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-8445552377248948310?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8445552377248948310/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/letzte-woche-last-week.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/8445552377248948310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/8445552377248948310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/letzte-woche-last-week.html' title='Letzte Woche / Last week'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFWKGywfANQ/TlqVREz-NuI/AAAAAAAACUo/NaXAePwe-_g/s72-c/P1060870.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-3628460303470121534</id><published>2011-08-21T22:03:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T22:03:32.349+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Mein Tag in Bildern / My day in pictures</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B_8feAUShsE/TlFgJCNxPjI/AAAAAAAACUc/4gCmKec6C-w/s1600/IMG_0558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" qaa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B_8feAUShsE/TlFgJCNxPjI/AAAAAAAACUc/4gCmKec6C-w/s320/IMG_0558.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a8q1mckhTQ8/TlFgyIMtNKI/AAAAAAAACUg/JmUVMKLLiR8/s1600/P1060861.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" qaa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a8q1mckhTQ8/TlFgyIMtNKI/AAAAAAAACUg/JmUVMKLLiR8/s320/P1060861.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Mehr gibt es doch nicht zu sagen, oder? / Not much else to say, is there?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morgen kommt meine Tochter aus dem Krankenhaus nach Hause (das heißt zu sich nach Hause, in ihre eigene Wohnung) und ich gehe wieder ganz normal arbeiten. Es ist schon ein schönes Gefühl, nicht die gesamte Verantwortung tragen zu müssen. Ich mache den kleinen Popo gerne sauber und weiß, dass ich in den nächsten Monaten nicht ständig an Windeln denken muß. Ich lege ihn meiner Tochter auf den Arm, wenn er Hunger hat. Ich genieße all die Vorteile, die nur eine Oma hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zudem sorgt glücklicherweise&amp;nbsp;mein Mann dafür, dass wir unser neues kinderloses&amp;nbsp;Leben genießen: nächsten Samstag gehen wir zu einem Konzert der Guano Apes. Ohne Kind, ohne Enkel :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter will leave the hospital tomorrow and return home (meaning her own home) und I'm back to normal again, going back to work. It's such a&amp;nbsp;good feeling not having to bear the whole responsibility. I happily&amp;nbsp;clean the little bum and know that I don't have to think of nappies all the time. I lay him in my daughter's arms&amp;nbsp;when he's hungry. I enjoy all the privileges of the grandmother status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to that, fortunately my man makes sure that we enjoy our now childless life: we are going to a Guano Apes concert next Saturday. Without a child, without a grandchild :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-3628460303470121534?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3628460303470121534/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/mein-tag-in-bildern-my-day-in-pictures.html#comment-form' title='4 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3628460303470121534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3628460303470121534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/mein-tag-in-bildern-my-day-in-pictures.html' title='Mein Tag in Bildern / My day in pictures'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B_8feAUShsE/TlFgJCNxPjI/AAAAAAAACUc/4gCmKec6C-w/s72-c/IMG_0558.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-8436878393920377227</id><published>2011-08-19T13:10:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-19T19:30:11.617+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Das Enkelkind ist da / The grandchild has arrived</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8mjP2NhLApU/Tk6dFCuSqFI/AAAAAAAACT8/RBe0SI-XY-U/s1600/P1060846.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" qaa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8mjP2NhLApU/Tk6dFCuSqFI/AAAAAAAACT8/RBe0SI-XY-U/s320/P1060846.JPG" width="317" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B9LaLSShmsU/Tk6dg03eZNI/AAAAAAAACUA/S5sccHc-5uI/s1600/P1060840.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" qaa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B9LaLSShmsU/Tk6dg03eZNI/AAAAAAAACUA/S5sccHc-5uI/s320/P1060840.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heute morgen um 6:21 Uhr kam unser kleiner Mann zur Welt.

Meine Tochter und ich haben gestern Abend das Fußballspiel BVB : HSV geguckt (ich würde ja gerne ein ausführlichen Spielbericht schreiben, aber das können andere besser und ich beschränke mich auf folgende Worte: geiler Fußball).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;2. Dabei habe ich das Halstuch aus dem Monatsunikat August von Tausendschön fertig gestrickt - siehe Bilder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;3. Dabei haben wir Mr. Bean auf Dede getauft. Einfach weil Dede ein wunderbarer Fußballer und Mensch ist und er uns allen in Dortmund fehlt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;***&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;What do these three words have in common?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;1. My daughter and I have watched the football game BVB vs. HSV last night (I'd love to write a detailed report about this game but others are more talented and I therefore stick to a couple of words only: terrific football).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;2.

Mr. Bean is now named Dede. Simply because he is such a wonderful football player and a personality who's being missed here in Dortmund.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLlP5I-txm4/Tj0woVVGfDI/AAAAAAAACS8/a5xjGzSVYek/s1600/P1060795.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="337" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLlP5I-txm4/Tj0woVVGfDI/AAAAAAAACS8/a5xjGzSVYek/s400/P1060795.JPG" t$="true" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v52XDP2kGpY/Tj0w7cVKdAI/AAAAAAAACTA/LbmUG9SzmL4/s1600/P1060794.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="172" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v52XDP2kGpY/Tj0w7cVKdAI/AAAAAAAACTA/LbmUG9SzmL4/s400/P1060794.JPG" t$="true" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3siKkZ0U6C0/Tj0zkMHvEDI/AAAAAAAACTE/kAq7HnMtsvY/s1600/P1060776.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3siKkZ0U6C0/Tj0zkMHvEDI/AAAAAAAACTE/kAq7HnMtsvY/s400/P1060776.JPG" t$="true" width="221" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Dede (formerly known as Mr. Bean) &amp;amp; Bruno&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-3635597913081731711?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3635597913081731711/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/fuball-stricken-und-dede-football.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3635597913081731711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/3635597913081731711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/fuball-stricken-und-dede-football.html' title='Fußball, Stricken und Dede / Football, knitting and Dede'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLlP5I-txm4/Tj0woVVGfDI/AAAAAAAACS8/a5xjGzSVYek/s72-c/P1060795.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-5580108238454294644</id><published>2011-08-05T20:15:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-05T20:15:02.838+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Warten / Waiting</title><content type='html'>Wir warten auf das Baby / Enkelkind.

(Ich gebe zu, dass er schon länger hätte fertig sein können, aber ich mag diese abschließenden Fummelarbeiten überhaupt nicht, ich stricke lieber stundenlang.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I've had some time to knit again and now Mr. Bean, the teddy bear for my grandchild, is finished. (I do admit he could have been finished ages ago but I don't like these finalising fiddling jobs, I prefer continuous knitting.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Außerdem habe ich das erste Mal bei &lt;a href="http://www.strickstduschon.de/"&gt;Tausendschön&lt;/a&gt; ein 3-Monatsabo für das Unikat des Monats gekauft und dieser wunderschöne Wollstrang "Flieder" kam gestern an. Leider hatte ich vor dem Wickeln vergessen ein Foto zu machen, aber &lt;a href="http://tierischestrickereien.blogspot.com/"&gt;Regina&lt;/a&gt; sei Dank gibt es doch noch eins. Daraus wird ein Halstuch für meine Tochter, denn es sind genau ihre Farben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that I have bought a 3 months subscription for the unique wool of the month at &lt;a href="http://www.strickstduschon.de/"&gt;Tausendschön&lt;/a&gt; and this beautiful strand of wool called "lilac" came yesterday. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of the strand but thanks to &lt;a href="http://tierischestrickereien.blogspot.com/"&gt;Regina&lt;/a&gt; here it is. I'm knitting a shawl for my daughter because the colours fit her perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;you are the most talented musician alive, a gifted artist, songwriter, singer and you can "shake that ass" so well it's almost painful to look at.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;But last night, you really annoyed me big time (I can't bring myself to write p**sed off in here.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Here's why:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;At first I can hardly concentrate on work because I'm so excited to see you performing live on stage again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;We then have to drive to Cologne, which is not very funny on ze Görmän motorway at 5 pm. It took us 2 hours instead of the usual 45 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Apart from the € we spent on the tickets to see you we spent a lot of money on petrol, parking, food and drinks (and don't you think everybody can actually afford to get those tickets).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;OK, here's a good part of the story: around 8 pm-ish we see you biking into the backstage area and walking to the stage. You're only a couple of metres away from us and my heart jumps frantically. And believe me, by this time my man is excited as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;We then wait another 45 min. until you actually come on stage and start to perform. OK, no big deal (having to wait that long), I am happily screaming away and "shaking my ass" to your fantastic music and voice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Until you leave the stage again. After 1 song. We ????, go to the toilet, get some more beer, go for a smoke and still ???&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;We hear rumours about "technical problems". So far so good. Our excitement is gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Until you come back on stage again, approx. 50 min. later. OK, forgiven, I still love you to pieces. You start to perform, you sing, you dance, you seem to be annoyed and so are some people in the audience because of the painful accoustics. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Anyway, all is forgotten and forgiven when you sing "Kiss" and dance. OMG, this is good, I say to myself, this is going to be one of the nights you won't forget. How right I was.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;You sing another song, we dance, we are happy, my man is thanking me for the umpteenth time (you see, I gave him those tickets for his birthday - you could call it double expenses for moi).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;And then, after about 50 min., the music stops abruptly, you leave the stage, the band leaves the stage, the lights turn on, the people start dismantling the instruments and stage.&amp;nbsp;We are still not able to&amp;nbsp;believe what's happening and&amp;nbsp;trying to stop&amp;nbsp;our dancing movements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Did you actually&amp;nbsp;break&amp;nbsp;up the performance without saying good-bye, without another additional song, without anything? Yep, my dear Prince, that's what you did.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;It didn't make us feel better to hear that your performance in Amsterdam (or elsewhere for that matter)&amp;nbsp;lasted 3 hours. That the accoustics were perfect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;It didn't make us feel better to read in the papers that you were obviously pretty annoyed yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Today, I still love your music but never ever again will I go and see you live on stage.

Ich hatte mir damals diesen Schreibtisch zusammen mit&amp;nbsp;einem separaten sogenannten Container mit 16 Schubladen gekauft (für viele Deutsche Mark). Den Schubladen-Container behalte ich, denn ich bin ein bekennender Schubladen-Fetischist (es gibt nicht eine Schublade, die vor mir sicher ist).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verkauft habe ich den Schreibtisch bei ebay, obwohl ich fest davon überzeugt war, dass ihn niemand mehr haben wollte. Aber ein Käufer aus dem Postleitzahlbezirk 2.... hat uns überrascht. Sein Bruder kommt am Wochenende aus Hannover, um das gute Stück abzuholen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Den Schubladen-Container zeige ich bald.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;After almost 30 years of a harmonic relationship it's time to say good-bye to my very first really expensive piece of furniture - my desk made by Flötotto. I had bought&amp;nbsp;this desk together with a separate so-called&amp;nbsp;container with 16 drawers (for many German marks). &amp;nbsp;Of course I'll keep the container with the drawers because I am a true drawers fetishist (there's no drawer left unopened by me).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've sold the desk at ebay although I had been quite convinced that noone would be interested in buying it. The one&amp;nbsp;person from the post code area 2.... surprised us, his brother is coming down from Hannover&amp;nbsp;to pick up the precious part this weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I'll show the container with drawers soon.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-1579920489311623575?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1579920489311623575/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/tschuss-schreibtisch-bye-bye-desk.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/1579920489311623575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/1579920489311623575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/tschuss-schreibtisch-bye-bye-desk.html' title='Tschüss Schreibtisch / Bye-bye desk'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-riNf_VOdlbc/TjA_MeaVrcI/AAAAAAAACSI/9SlNp6UUhlg/s72-c/P1060751.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-4965548653300595038</id><published>2011-07-24T19:14:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-24T19:14:41.053+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Zu viel Wochenende / Too much weekend</title><content type='html'>Dieses Wochenende war einfach zu viel. Erst einmal natürlich viel zu kalt. Unfassbar. Aber gut, das hier ist kein Wetter-Jammer-Blog (obwohl das in diesem Juli wirklich angebracht wäre).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Freitag hat der liebe DH schon angefangen, den Keller zu entrümpeln und die Sachen in meinem Auto zu verstauen. Als ich am Samstag noch einen Pappkarton auflöste, in dem sich angeblich nur noch zwei oder drei alte Winterjacken oder -mäntel befanden, fand ich dort wunderschöne Fotos. Hier sind drei davon:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend was a tad too much. First of all far too cold. Unbelievably cold. Yes, I know this isn't a Whining-About-the-Weather-Blog (although it could well have been so this July).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday my dear DH had already begun dejunking the cellar and started putting the things in my car. When I looked through one of the boxes which was supposed to contain only two or three winter jackets or coats I found some beautiful photos. Here are three of them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2DAyw1XdZUE/TixGe5nQGfI/AAAAAAAACRo/ZZ-rU_ScwEU/s1600/P1060759.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2DAyw1XdZUE/TixGe5nQGfI/AAAAAAAACRo/ZZ-rU_ScwEU/s320/P1060759.JPG" t$="true" width="285" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;du bist so schön / you are so beautiful&lt;br /&gt;Dany, 1989&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Ich weiß noch genau, wieviel Ärger es wegen des Ohrrings gab.

Die Tragödie in Norwegen hatten wir nur am Rande mitbekommen. Dafür haben uns die gestrigen Nachrichten fast sprachlos gemacht und dann der Tod von Amy Winehouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Supercup-Spiel FC Schlacke gegen BVB haben wir uns in der Stadt bei &lt;a href="http://www.wenkers.de/"&gt;Wenkers&lt;/a&gt; angesehen&amp;nbsp;und sind dann mit einigen Freunden ins &lt;a href="http://www.fzw.de/"&gt;FZW&lt;/a&gt; gefahren. Ich konnte es kaum fassen, dass in einer der Hallen Musik von Motown und ähnliches gespielt wurde, z.B. von "Everybody Dance" (Chic) oder "Ain't no mountain high enough". Ich habe lange getanzt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the &lt;a href="http://www.dortmund-a-la-carte.de/"&gt;Dortmund à la Carte&lt;/a&gt; food event with a couple of friends on Friday and had our dinner there. The tragedy in Norway were still news of minor importance at that time. But yesterday's news left us nearly speechless and then the death of Amy Winehouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We saw the Supercup-game FC Shite vs. BVB at &lt;a href="http://www.wenkers.de/"&gt;Wenkers&lt;/a&gt; in town last night and then moved over to the club &lt;a href="http://www.fzw.de/"&gt;FZW&lt;/a&gt; with a couple of friends. I could hardly believe what I heard from one of the dance halls: Motown hits and similar, for example "Everybody Dance" (Chic) or "Ain't no mountain high enough". I danced like mad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seelenfutter war angesagt: / Time for soulfood:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6C-Gcl_CmYQ/TixOBSmrZDI/AAAAAAAACR4/zazjHf4m9eU/s1600/IMG_0529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6C-Gcl_CmYQ/TixOBSmrZDI/AAAAAAAACR4/zazjHf4m9eU/s400/IMG_0529.JPG" t$="true" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;české koláče / tschechische Kolatschen / Czech don't what they're called in English&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Ich weiß nicht, wie meine Oma das gemacht hat.

Ich habe Ende&amp;nbsp;1988 das&amp;nbsp;Prince Konzert&amp;nbsp;in der Westfalenhalle in Dortmund&amp;nbsp;erlebt und es war&amp;nbsp;eine&amp;nbsp;atemraubende&amp;nbsp;Party. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;*** &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;I collected all my Prince albums yesterday afternoon and listened to his music for several hours (while cleaning). It was great! (Most probably not for our neighbours, but I didn't care yesterday, we seldom listen to music at&amp;nbsp;such a&amp;nbsp;high volume.) &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;I hope I'm not building up too many hopes because we are going to see this extraordinary top musician of all times in Cologne on 28th July.

Na ja, jetzt bin ich noch etwas naß und strubbelig, aber sauber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zu Thoras Tochter kam ich vor fast 19 Jahren, genauer gesagt brachte mich die Patentante Miss Canada Dry mit. Ich habe schon viel gesehen und gehört, manchen Umzug mitgemacht. Und so wurde ich gestern auch gefragt, ob ich lieber mit nach Schwerte gehen oder&amp;nbsp;bei Thora auf meinen neuen Spielkameraden warten soll. (Hätte ich gewußt, dass Thora mich danach umgehend in die Trommel steckt, wäre ich natürlich nach Schwerte gezogen.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich warte jetzt&amp;nbsp;geduldig bis ich trocken bin und werde dann wieder mein altes Zimmer beziehen, in dem ich die letzten 10 Jahre &lt;strike&gt;in der Ecke&lt;/strike&gt; verbracht habe. Das Zimmer wird übrigens heute schon neu gestrichen - ich glaube das liegt daran, dass Thora so lange rumgenörgelt hat, bis DH die Nase voll hatte und den Malerkittel anzog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich freue mich schon auf meine&amp;nbsp;Aufgabe als treuer Begleiter und Schmusetier&amp;nbsp;des Enkels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Bruno and today (just this once) I'm allowed&amp;nbsp; to write a guest feature in this blog because I'm probably the oldest cuddly toy of Thora's daughter and because&amp;nbsp;Thora put me in the washing machine without asking me yesterday. Now I'm still a bit wet and tousled, but clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met Thora's family approx. 19 years ago, when the godmother Miss Canada Dry brought me as a present. I have seen and heard a lot and changed flats quite a few times. Yesterday I was asked if I'd prefer to go to Schwerte or rather stay here at Thora's place and wait for my new playmate. (Had I known that Thora would throw me in the washing drum almost immediately afterwards I would have moved to Schwerte of course.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'll wait patiently for my fur to dry and will move back to my old room, where I've spent the last 10 years &lt;strike&gt;in a corner&lt;/strike&gt;. By the way, the room&amp;nbsp;is being painted already - I think this is because I heard Thora nagging non-stop until DH was truly fed up and put on his painting outfit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm really looking forward to my new job as a devoted companion and cuddly toy of the grandchild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mxSBPLIFFkU/ThmHdXt6anI/AAAAAAAACQg/AyfP8PVlDhA/s1600/P1060695.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" m$="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mxSBPLIFFkU/ThmHdXt6anI/AAAAAAAACQg/AyfP8PVlDhA/s320/P1060695.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-4483822010452871152?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4483822010452871152/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/bruno.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/4483822010452871152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/4483822010452871152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/bruno.html' title='Bruno'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1IQ9VANNHTc/Thl-DNXb1MI/AAAAAAAACQc/EqKB7ELpMsE/s72-c/P1060693.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-128990407990714659</id><published>2011-07-09T22:24:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T22:24:52.136+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tochter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heim'/><title type='text'>Leer / Empty</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-41skTxcuiSY/ThioPShivII/AAAAAAAACQM/VkrPokCau8c/s1600/P1060688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" m$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-41skTxcuiSY/ThioPShivII/AAAAAAAACQM/VkrPokCau8c/s320/P1060688.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leer ist das Zimmer meiner Tochter. Wir haben heute ihre letzten Sachen ausgeräumt und mit Hilfe meines Vaters in die neue Wohnung gebracht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es sind gemischte Emotionen und wer das schon einmal erlebt hat, weiß wie ich fühle. Ich freue mich aber auch auf meine neue Rolle als Oma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter's room is empty. We have cleared out her last things today and drove all of it to her new flat with the help of my dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are mixed emotions and whoever has experienced something similar knows what I'm talking about. But&amp;nbsp;I'm really looking forward to my new role as grandmother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Zimmer bekommt einen neuen Anstrich und wird dann als Gäste-/Enkel- und Fernsehzimmer genutzt. Wir wollen ein neues Sofa kaufen und ein oder zwei Kommoden. Anschließend wird unser kleines Arbeitszimmer neu gestaltet, wo ich meine geliebten Bücher habe. Das sieht zur Zeit so aus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The room will get some new paint and will be used as a guest / grandchild or tv room. We want to buy a new couch and some drawers. Our little study, where I have all my beloved books, is next.

Und Veränderungen gibt es im Moment so viele, dass die Erinnerung an Portugal, Sonne, gutes Essen und Pool komplett verblasst ist. Wir haben die ganze Woche eingekauft, organisiert, bewegt, abgebaut, aufgebaut und einsortiert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nächsten Samstag zieht meine Tochter endgültig aus. Nun sind wir ja viele Trennungen gewohnt: sie hat bis vor einem halben Jahr regelmäßig jedes zweite Wochenende bei ihrem Vater verbracht und in den Sommerferien hatten wir uns manchmal einige Wochen nicht gesehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aber wegziehen, Hotel Mama verlassen? Das ist was &lt;strike&gt;schönes &lt;/strike&gt;anderes. Auf der einen Seite freue ich mich, auf der anderen Seite wird es mir auf einmal ganz eng am Hals und meine Augen werden feucht. Wo sind die letzten 18 Jahre und&amp;nbsp;4 Monate hin?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es gibt noch viel zu tun nächste Woche und ich hoffe, dass meine Tochter sich demnächst in ihren eigenen vier Wänden wohl fühlen wird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have an earworm: the song Changes by&amp;nbsp;David Bowie. There are a few changes these days and the memories of Portugal, sun, good food and swimming pool have faded quickly. We have shopped, organised, moved, dismantled, assembled and sorted out all last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter is going to move out next Saturday. We have been used to being apart: until about six months ago she had spent every other weekend at her father's and sometimes we have not seen eachother for several weeks during the summer holidays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But moving out, leaving Hotel Mama? That's a &lt;strike&gt;lovely&lt;/strike&gt; different story. On the one hand I'm looking forward to it but on the other hand I'm getting a very tight feeling in my throat and my eyes are all watery. Where have the past 18 years and&amp;nbsp;4 months gone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is still a lot to do and I hope that my daughter is going to feel good in her own four walls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-55qxnPfLbbM/ThDSDLBzeBI/AAAAAAAACQE/1-QRgcwSzMU/s1600/IMG_0510.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-55qxnPfLbbM/ThDSDLBzeBI/AAAAAAAACQE/1-QRgcwSzMU/s320/IMG_0510.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-5721918925502348890?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5721918925502348890/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/loslassen-letting-go.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/5721918925502348890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/5721918925502348890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/loslassen-letting-go.html' title='Loslassen / Letting go'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-55qxnPfLbbM/ThDSDLBzeBI/AAAAAAAACQE/1-QRgcwSzMU/s72-c/IMG_0510.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-9175355356046911654</id><published>2011-06-28T22:15:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-28T22:15:10.874+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stricken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BVB'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Essen'/><title type='text'>So schmeckt Sommer / That's how summer tastes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LAa6ziZ-7dY/TgowSzZFVPI/AAAAAAAACP4/1KZ07GzHvuM/s1600/P1060681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="303" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LAa6ziZ-7dY/TgowSzZFVPI/AAAAAAAACP4/1KZ07GzHvuM/s320/P1060681.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fTkzSz4jyHs/TgowpKtvm-I/AAAAAAAACP8/NfTQuzJwi1s/s1600/P1060682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fTkzSz4jyHs/TgowpKtvm-I/AAAAAAAACP8/NfTQuzJwi1s/s320/P1060682.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eigentlich habe ich keine Zeit, aber in Erinnerung an die köstliche Erdbeermarmelade des letzten Jahres (das letzte Glas haben wir glaube ich im Januar oder Februar geleert) habe ich seit Sonntag doch noch diverse Gläser mit Erdbeermarmelade gefüllt und heute als Bonus noch mal eben schnell die Törtchen dazu gemacht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der Erdbeerverkäufer am Feld meinte, dass der Verkauf (bzw. das Pflücken) nur noch bis Ende dieser Woche&amp;nbsp;läuft, mal sehen, ob ich die ca.&amp;nbsp;10 leeren Gläser noch voll bekomme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zum Stricken komme ich abends gar nicht mehr (oder es ist zu heiß), im Urlaub habe ich aber noch schnell die Socken für meinen Mann zu Ende gestrickt. Aus dieser Restwolle entsteht im Moment ein Paar Babysöckchen, damit unserem Enkel die Wahl des Ballspielvereins leichter fällt (nicht dass es da viel zu entscheiden gäbe).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Although I don't have much time at the moment, I had to start making strawberry jam&amp;nbsp;on Sunday and these tartlets as an additional bonus today. Mainly because I remembered how much we liked our last year's strawberry jam (I think we have&amp;nbsp;emptied the last glass in January or February).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strawberry salesman at the field said that they would stop selling strawberries at the end of this week and I wonder if I'll manage to fill the remaining 10 empty glasses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have time for knitting at all (and it's too warm) but I did finish these socks for my man in our holidays. The remaining wool from this project is being used for a tiny pair of baby socks so that our grandchild can choose his favourite football club more easily (it's not that there are too many choices).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c4QKBvQJXXE/Tgo0fHyI80I/AAAAAAAACQA/7szcq9cSmE8/s1600/P1060622.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c4QKBvQJXXE/Tgo0fHyI80I/AAAAAAAACQA/7szcq9cSmE8/s320/P1060622.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-9175355356046911654?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/9175355356046911654/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-schmeckt-sommer-thats-how-summer.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/9175355356046911654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/9175355356046911654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-schmeckt-sommer-thats-how-summer.html' title='So schmeckt Sommer / That&apos;s how summer tastes'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LAa6ziZ-7dY/TgowSzZFVPI/AAAAAAAACP4/1KZ07GzHvuM/s72-c/P1060681.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-6470667574069150036</id><published>2011-06-27T22:44:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T22:44:15.521+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reisen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Foto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Essen'/><title type='text'>Ich bin wieder da / I'm back in town</title><content type='html'>Und es wie vor der Abreise: wir arbeiten und helfen meiner Tochter bei der Einrichtung der Wohnung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's the same as before our holidays: we go to work and help my daughter with setting-up her flat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_5cLDOuAOhU/TgjoLLZjQGI/AAAAAAAACPk/v39A_v3VaHg/s1600/P1060672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" i$="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_5cLDOuAOhU/TgjoLLZjQGI/AAAAAAAACPk/v39A_v3VaHg/s400/P1060672.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unser Urlaub in Bildern: / Our holidays in pictures:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iQkvzpZzRTw/Tgjo9qTqo1I/AAAAAAAACPo/rMb8hJ1P5Yo/s1600/P1060570.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iQkvzpZzRTw/Tgjo9qTqo1I/AAAAAAAACPo/rMb8hJ1P5Yo/s320/P1060570.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;der gehörte uns allein!

Diese Kollegin ist 19 Jahre älter als ich und ich würde sie heute als Freundin bezeichnen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als wir noch zusammen arbeiteten, hatten wir nicht viel miteinander zu tun und unser Verhältnis war zwar gut, aber rein beruflich geprägt. Ich bewunderte damals ihre Professionalität: sie war eine der wenigen Frauen mit einem eigenen Sachgebiet im&amp;nbsp;Vertrieb, und eine&amp;nbsp;erfolgreiche noch dazu. Ausländische Reiseziele waren damals (und sind es heute zum großen Teil noch) nur den Männern vorbehalten, aber Edith&amp;nbsp;hatte einige Zeit in den USA gelebt und&amp;nbsp;reiste öfter beruflich wieder dorthin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nach meiner Entlassung aus dem metallverarbeitenden Unternehmen äußerte sie den Satz: verzweifle nicht, denn aus einer vermeintlich schlechten Situation kann ganz schnell etwas sehr Gutes entstehen. Sie hatte Recht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edith ist seit vielen Jahren in Rente und wir gehen mindestens ein- oder zweimal im Jahr zusammen essen und erzählen über uns, unsere Familien, unsere Arbeit. Sie ist eine Freundin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Wir waren diesmal in Schwerte, beim Italiener L'incontro. Ich habe den allerbesten Steinbutt seit Jahren gegessen und möchte das Lokal an dieser Stelle empfehlen. Nur eine Bitte an den Chef: bitte lächeln!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still in touch with a former colleague from the company Metal Hammer where I was employed for 16 years. This colleague is 19 years my senior and today, I would&amp;nbsp;call her a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were not very close while we worked together.&amp;nbsp;Our relationsship could have been&amp;nbsp;described as good&amp;nbsp;but it&amp;nbsp;was of pure professional interests only. I admired her professionality: she was one of the&amp;nbsp;few ladies with her own work field in sales, and a very succesful one. Foreign travelling destinations were reserved exclusively for men (which is quite the same today) but Edith had lived in the USA for a couple of years before and her business trips took her back to the USA quite frequently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After my&amp;nbsp;redundancy from the metal processing company she once expressed the following sentence: do not despair, because from each supposedly awful situation a good thing can&amp;nbsp;come up&amp;nbsp;very quickly. How right she was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edith had gone into retirement a couple of years ago but we now meet for a meal at least once or twice a year and we talk about us, our families, our work. She is a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(We went to Schwerte this time, the Italian ristorante L'incontro. I have eaten the best butt ever and would like to recommend this place. Only one request&amp;nbsp;to the chef: smile, please!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-822310035076867189?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/822310035076867189/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/eine-freundin-friend.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/822310035076867189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/822310035076867189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/eine-freundin-friend.html' title='Eine Freundin / A friend'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-4632677137007640139</id><published>2011-05-25T19:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-25T19:43:09.814+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Enkel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tochter'/><title type='text'>Noch mehr Arbeit / Even more work</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;﻿Mein Mann hatte letzte Woche Urlaub und hat in der Wohnung meiner Tochter gearbeitet: tapeziert, die Decken und Wände gestrichen und Teppichboden bzw.

Da wußten wir noch nicht, wieviel Kilogramm bzw. Liter Erde so ein Kasten verschlingt. Also haben wir ein paar Jahre lang immer nur das Nötigste rausgeschmissen und kräftig dazu gepflanzt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schon letztes Jahr habe ich gesagt, dass dieses Jahr eine komplette Erd-Runderneuerung stattfinden muß. Da mein Mann diese Woche eine andere Baustelle bearbeitet (die Wohnung der liebsten Tochter), war ich mit dieser Aufgabe bzw. mit dem Schleppen der Erde so ziemlich allein. Glücklicherweise kam zeitgleich vom Garteneinkauf der nette Nachbar, der unter uns wohnt, und durfte gleich einen 40 l-Sack Gartenerde hochtragen. Ich nahm die kleinen 2 x 20 l-Säcke und meine Tochter die Pflanzen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich sage gerne, dass ich Gartenarbeit nicht mag, aber als ich gestern anfing, hat die Sache auch ein bißchen Spaß gemacht. Und der Balkon sieht wieder schön und freundlich aus. Im Herbst kommen noch ein oder zwei winterharte Pflanzen dazu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we moved into this flat we were delighted to get those big flower boxes for the balcony. We had not yet realised how many kilos or litres of soil one of those boxes would devour. In the past years we have changed only&amp;nbsp;small portions of the soil and&amp;nbsp;added new plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, I had decided that we would have to change the complete soil of all boxes this year. As my man is currently busy&amp;nbsp;on a different&amp;nbsp;building site (the flat of the lovely daughter) it became clear that I&amp;nbsp;had to struggle with dragging the soil on my own. Fortunately, one of the neighbours who lives underneath came home at the same time as I was unloading the car and he was immediately given a 40 l-bag to carry up the stairs. I carried 2 x 20 l-bags and my daughter the plants.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I tend to point out that I don't like gardening but once I got started yesterday it was fun. The balcony is looking nice and friendly again. We will plant one or the other&amp;nbsp;hardy plants in autumn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657821403489069129-5657997844210312254?l=thorasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5657997844210312254/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/was-man-in-vier-stunden-machen-kann.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/5657997844210312254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657821403489069129/posts/default/5657997844210312254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thorasblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/was-man-in-vier-stunden-machen-kann.html' title='Was man in vier Stunden machen kann / What to do in four hours'/><author><name>thora</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05882155103669920706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FNHeamtuKcg/TdLRxxq6BeI/AAAAAAAACM0/jmR-L9h6Lrw/s220/IMG_0418_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EQz1VCJIcVU/TdkP8cwNQcI/AAAAAAAACNU/47KDNeYNC1o/s72-c/P1060392.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657821403489069129.post-6421664282374570149</id><published>2011-05-16T20:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-16T20:29:27.732+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BVB'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dortmund'/><title type='text'>"I think we have a grandios saison gespielt!" - by Roman Weidenfeller</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yvbBTg7szko/TdFrwd97GPI/AAAAAAAACME/z0Rd45PZ7AI/s1600/collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yvbBTg7szko/TdFrwd97GPI/AAAAAAAACME/z0Rd45PZ7AI/s320/collage.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das vergangene Wochenende und die Party in Dortmund zu beschreiben, würde jeden hier verfügbaren Rahmen sprengen.

Meine Tochter hat eine wunderschöne Wohnung in Schwerte, in der wir ab nächster Woche renovieren können.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leben und atmen kann sie leider nicht, da wir das richtige Formular noch nicht ausgefüllt haben und wenn wir es ausgefüllt haben, dann müssen wir es morgen wieder nachbessern. Bis dahin soll sie doch bitte das Atmen unterlassen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aber: Mutter und Kind sind wohlauf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zur Abwechslung streue ich hier noch ein paar schöne Fotos vom Konzerthaus in Cardiff ein, von dessen Architektur ich sehr angetan war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Außerdem, liebe Fußballfreunde, werden wir das ganze Wochenende in schwarz-gelb verbringen. Das geht sogar so weit, dass mein Onkel eigens aus Sternberk angereist kommt und wir uns am Montag Urlaub genommen haben. Heja BVB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the time being, we are busy with administrative offices, applications, approvals and questionnaires. My daughter has a wonderful flat in Schwerte and we are going to start&amp;nbsp;redecorating and painting next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's not allowed to breath and live though because we have not yet filled in the correct questionnaire and by the time we have completed it, we will have to revise it again. We told her to stop breathing until then.&lt;br /&gt;But: mother and child are feeling great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime I'll show you some photos of the Cardiff Millennium Music Hall because of the wonderful architecture.&lt
