Fernwehattacke

The english language is definitely incomplete, it´s missing a word for "Fernweh". It´s like being homesick but the other way round - a longing to travel & be far away. Dictionary says itchy feet, wanderlust (which sounds german but isn´t, really) or travel bug.
But those don´t hurt, do they?
Anyway, got a serious Fernweh-attack right now.
Want to go, faaar away. Now-ish. Tasmania would be nice. Australia, too. Guess Portugal (never been) or Greece (spent there almost 4 months in total, working with sea turtles) would do.
Btw.: It´s also missing an expression for a song being stuck in in your head, and one of my life´s missions is to introduce the word "earworm" into english ;).

Whoever said you cant buy happiness...

...forgot about puppies!

Attention!

snow-shovelling ! :)
Very white and nice Christmas, in front of my parents´ house.

Winter has come! It´s a bit annoying if you have to drive a car, but on the other hand it´s incredibly beautiful and I love the seasons here - from minus 15 to plus 35 !

rose ("cool water") in my employers show-garden - nice and warm on a cold winters day

Since I´ve been home I´ve been sorting my pictures from Utila and am now waiting for the result to arrive , a photo-book.

Otherwise Life has gone back to normal, 7 hour shifts give me the chance to settle in nicely :).
