Living isn't easy, no need to make it harder, stretch yourself until you snap
Ditch your superstitions
Lose your inhibitions
Tell them you're not coming back

If you want it, you can have it
If you need it, go and get it
Whatever it is you've got to love it

Leftover of pasta salad with mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and dressing with basil pesto in it. :)


Everytime when I'm on vacation I try to cook at least once or twice because I don't have the time for it when I'm working. Now if I can't go to Italy this year, then at least I want food with an Italian touch. :)

I'm off to lake Chiemsee tomorrow. I still need to pack. :-S

Can anyone recommend a good book?

It's been so hot and sticky the last few days including rain and thunderstorms. I really don't like summer this way. I'm longing for autumn, I really am. When I had my driving lesson yesterday it started thunderstorming. At least the air cooled down a bit which felt really good. All rooms in our flat are warmed up and as we are living right under the roof it's even worse. It's supposed to be raining again today. We actually wanted to go see an exhibition on old trams but today it's not the weather for it. :-/ Maybe we could still go see it tomorrow..

So we picked black currants for about half an hour until the thunderstorm struck. First it got dark from the northeast, it thundered and then big raindrops fell onto us. Downpour. We took the bowl of black currants we managed to pick and sheltered from the rain and eventually went inside. We stood at the window and watched the spectacle. There's the English expression "It's raining cats and dogs" for which we would say "Es regnet Bindfäden" and I must say, I like our German expression much better. Literally it says that it's raining strings as the drops look like strings. But we also have the expression "Es regnet junge Hunde", i.e. it's raining young dogs. But I never use this expression. Anyway, it rained Bindfäden yesterday. ;)

Today was my 3rd driving lesson and I think I'm getting a little bit better. At least with shifting gears but not with clutching, I mean letting go the clutch. I'm doing it a bit too fast and then sometimes I kill the engine. :] Today I had a lesson with the other driving instructor and he explains things a little bit better or more detailed which is good. We just drove around town and not on the main road so I didn't have to drive so fast which was also good. ;)

It's really sticky weather today and maybe there'll be thunderstorms this afternoon. If not maybe I'll go outside and pick currants as they're already ripe.

I'm back from a short trip. It was good. Now I'm very tired.

When I'm not listening to 1940s dance music these days, I'm listening to this song:


It's so great. :) Bavaria is great. How could it be different? I live here. :P

It's already June, I must update my calendars...

I just came back from my first car driving lesson. Whew! I was so nervous beforehand and along the way. First I had to drive through town and learn how to steer the car - still a closed book to me. I tend to drive too far on the right side of the road and turning left or right is almost an adventure. Then we drove out of town. (I thought I wouldn't have to in the first lesson, but anyhow we did it. I believe I was driving too slow, cars piling up behind me.) I don't like bends when I can't see the approaching traffic. I think I have muscle ache in my arms. But I'm relieved and I can't wait for my next lesson. :)

For the record:

- 8 theory lessons
- 1 driving lesson

So yesterday I saw the first man with a mask covering his mouth and nose. :-S

I missed the bus today. So I'm going to be late for work. I wished I already had my driver's license.

It's been raining for days. Last Saturday we had the most beautiful, really springlike weather (see picture above) and now.. I don't have words for it. At the moment it's not raining actually but there's no real sunshine either.

This has been my most favorite song for this week. So much that I created my own music videos in my head for it. :D

 

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Calling tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Did not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
I want to rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

We already got photobooths that can talk to you. How strange is our world? Either it's supposed to make you laugh so that you'll look good on those photographs or somebody is really serious about that and put a lot of effort into creating this machine. Oh my..
 
Are you ready? Attention! There you go! Flash.

This really cheered us up yesterday evening.
