I am counting the days down to the Xmas holidays.... only 10 days to go...! Still haven't bought any presents yet - am so uninspired this year!
M & I are going to Hamburg for New Year. Will be great to get away from this slow moving country! It feels like I haven't traveled in ages! Which is true... last time was to Nice (great shopping, or rather I found one great shop in which I bought three pairs of shoes and a bag in 15 minutes flat!) with M and my parents.
Everyone seems to be leaving the country - I would almost say I feel left-behind! How silly is that? To make myself feel better I posted my CV on monster.co.uk... a bit of lip-service... when did fooling oneself become so easy?!
On a happier note, I finally found a volleyball club and a pilates instructor!
I'm getting to know my neighbors:
A few weeks ago, on a Monday morning (figures...) I shut the door to my flat on my way to work. Just as I turned away, I stopped short, reminding myself to lock the door. But then I realized that s***! my keys were still dangling in the lock... on the other side of the door! Luckily a nice neighbor happened to pass by and taking pity on me offered to help. He turned out to be a mechanic (no, not a locksmith, it was a Monday, remember?!) and managed to break open my door using pure force - and had quite a job of it too!
Poor guy, he must be ruing the day he met me: two days later I sent him a text message at midnight, asking if he had a spare mattress I could use! He not only replied (silly boy), but went down to his cellar and produced a fantastic mattress after 30 minutes of searching (which is still under my bed - don't blame him if he is avoiding me!) for my friend to stay over.
