Ouch!

1. I remitted 80 Euro for the polish course and mistyped the recipient - everything else like the account numer, iban and swift No. were correct. The bank charged a fee of 50 Euro for sending the money- well, what´s left of it -back.

2. Just happenend:

Stairs in Rothenburg

out of the can

I´ve got a nephew!!!

Hurra, since yesterday I´m aunt twice :)!

One of my pic´s is amongst the best 100 in a photo contest : Click
Nothing to be too proud of, considered that really good Macro-photographers won´t enter their valuable photos into such contests. But one is grateful for small achievements.

Poland

Just booked my flights - I´m off to Krakow next month, on a two week language course in polish.

Bargain hunting

can be fun :).

Got this Mountainbike for 5.50 € at e-bay yesterday evening and took it home with me en route on the way back from my parents house - so I didn´t even have any extra transport costs.
I want(ed) to use it at the garden nursery where I work. I really need a bike there and my first one has been ruined by the people who "borrowed" it, and the one I´ve got there now is a bit to good for the rough life a bike has to lead there.
The only "problem" is that I now really feel like using my new aquisition in the woods next to my house :
And that I´ve got no idea how to fix a rack for all the stuff I need to carry through the greenhouses.

Bautz & Rusty

a Jack Russel & a Magyar Vizsla bitch. Together with Heiko & their owner, a friend & colleague of mine, the five of us took a nice walk along the river Ems today.

It´s spring!

Life is like a dandelion - when the time has come everyone has to fly on their own.

Hurra!
My favorite season!

Well, it was until I started working in a garden centre. For now spring means work. And work.
And even more work. But at least this year the kind of work I´m doing is a bit more to my liking, even if it´s really (physically) arduous most of the time.

I´ve only worked from 6 til 11.30 today and it almost feels like a day off.
I´d really like to go and see my family now, especially my niece Jonna, but they´re all on holiday together at the moment. Hope the weather cooperates and they´re enjoying their stay at the seaside.
