Back in Sydney now…

All booked, all sorted – here I come! In the hope of good weather, in August this year… So I would say: it’s time to line up for cafe, dinner, BBQ and breakfast dates It’s going to be the usual “working-stress-holiday” but nevertheless I’m looking very much forward to it and to [...]

I admit I have taken the piss about UGG boots ever since I came to Australia and I still think they are UGG-ly but after 5 years I have given in – I just bought a pair. Not necessarily as fashion statement or because I suddenly think they look really good but to keep [...]

Now, that is a very rare sight! It is colder in Sydney than in Dresden… Despite the fact that we have winter and it is summer back home Sydney is usually not that much colder. This morning it was -1 and apparently there was ice on the windscreens yesterday. I missed out on that [...]

Now for some of you that might look insane but I can only say that I enjoy it! It is even lacking the whole “oh shit it Wednesday I have to go to training” issue. It’s more like “Yeah! It Wednesday (or Monday or Friday or Saturday for that matter) I can train today… [...]

I really don’t have a big problem with spiders until they get really big! Like my Saturday night spider. Not to confuse with my “welcome home spider” which was only half the size!
Carina and I were sitting in the living room watching a movie in which – hear the irony a spider just ran [...]

I can’t believe it… Once I spend my money on shoes, handbags, sunnies and parties. But those times seem to be over I’m getting old. I’m domesticated. I’m getting excited by the prospect of a new washing machine or vacuum cleaner. If it was a new TV, Stereo or any kind of [...]
