i needed a chocolate fix, but i dont have any chocolate. well i do, i have a bar of emergency chocolate, but i have no idea where on earth it is, which is really stupid, becuase in case of an emergency (like now, which is a chocolate emergency for no other reason than the fact that i wanted chocolate) one cannot find it. so....i resorted to melting nutella in the microwave, which worked very nicely, but i made too much and now i think i feel a bit nasueaous, which serves me right. i dont want to know how many calories i just consumed.
so yesterday we left the kids with one of the babysitters and went upstairs to kick start things a little bit. now no-one knows what i mean by this so...i shall explain.
this house is a hof. so its...an old farm, it used to be the old bakery actually. downstairs is huge by itself, and then half of upstairs consists of my digs, and the other half is empty and quite rustic looking, and then the floor ontop of that is also full of storage and rustic looking.( by that i mean practically untouched for like the last million years or however long). imagine a 4 bedrooomed house in England (like mine) and x10 it. i reckon thats how big this place is. its like a giant giant divided barn. it used to be used for the corn storage and grinding and the like.
anyway to the point. the second floor has an open balcony, which isnt really a balcony at all, just an extension to the outside, there are no railings or anything, its just a big slab with a wall on one side. and it has the worlds MOST amazing views. its truely breathtaking.
now becuase garreth is here, and he can do big manly jobs during the day like moving furniture and boxes and removing dead rats and bats (literally). we decided we would move all the boxes that were consuming the middle floor to one side and clear a space so we could put a table and some chairs in to make our very own art studio and just a general place to hang and appreciate the fantastical views. and so, now we have this amazing space just waiting to be used. i have said that i intend on going out onto the terrace to do yoga in the mornings, but actually if i have time to be doing yoga in the morning then i have time to be doing more sleeping, which is more like me.
i was going to draw a picture but i think only photographs will actually convey what the hell im talking about. for the mean time let your imagination run free.
last night i dreamt about cider, which concerns me, and means tommorow im going to have to go on a hunt, as rumour has it that edeka might sell some which would be pretty damned cool. becuase i have been wanting some for monthhhss.
i had a million and one exciting things to write about, but i cant remember what they were really. tommorow i have a whole entire day off. i have not had a whole entire day off since fi was here at the beginning of last month, which actually seems like an eternity ago....
i am cold.
i dont want to go to bed in my room becuase its a mess, which tommorow i fully intend on cleaning, but for now its just going to bug me. the one thing that concerns me slightly is the fact that i have started actually spending time in my kitchen/loungey thing, which means im pretty much pre-empted to make a mess of it as ever and then i will have two rooms that need cleaning!!!
another really long post from moi, which probably actually conveys nothing of what i actually wanted to say.
today i did not do any kindergarten running which was a welcome break, i also didnt go food shopping, which i dont mind, but its also nice to have a break. i slept and hung up some pretty curtains instead, and then just had a really girly morning, painted my toes and waltzed around in one of those funny green face masks. top times. i cleared the windowsill in the kitchen and opened two of the windows wide open to make my own little balcony and made myself a poached egg, toast and a cup of tea.
i went down in time to give the babies lunch, then we ran around in the garden for a couple of hours, then i tried to put them down to sleep, which failed bigtimess. then dad arrived, stuck his head round the door and pointed out the fact that maybe i was being a little bit optimistic and he'd give me a hand with them out in the garden again. meanwhile j was sleeping, which he does quite reliably in the afternoon, which is nice.
then i went to my german class, which i really enjoyed today actually, mr. italian phd student appears to be quite the comic, and understands my british sarcasm which is cool, it would be nice to finally make some friends out here. sadly now we have a two week autumn break, which sucks a bit, but again is quite welcome...
gieger gieger post here. im going to stop!..
