I'm back!

This blog has been somewhat neglected of late but I'm glad to say that it's because I've been such a busy girl lately that I've just had no time to keep you up-to-date.  Some highlights of the past few weeks have been:

1) Seeing The Streets -

Wow, that's a big picture - if I knew anything about computers I would probably make it a bit smaller, but I don't, so I hope you enjoy it.  Anyway, The Streets was a free (mmm free, my favourite price) music concert put on by 02.  It was really great as it took place in a huge outdoor arena close to Warschauer Strasse and there we loads of people there.  Even queueing for two hours didn't dampen our spirits as there were people selling hotdogs everywhere (yes, it really is the simple things).  The best bit of all about seeing The Streets was that the German people didn't seem to have a clue what was going on whereas we knew all the words and had a great time dancing about.

2) Sarah coming to visit -

Last weekend Sarah came to visit and we had such an amazing time.

That is Sarah :) We did so many things including lots of shopping, drinking, going to markets, dancing and drinking.  Hehe.  Sarah also finally got to meet the legend that is Bernie and they got on like a house on fire (well, until he started drunkenly ranting about goats and centipedes hahaha).

3) Being at the Ruppin Grundschule!  Yes, Sean, it is the same school as Oliver Hopwood worked at (I guess that must be a very distinctive door!) and he seems to be a bit of a legend there, but I think if I bring some Dairy Milk back after Christmas I might one day attain Hopwood status (meh, who am I kidding?).  But Oliver was quite right when he said that this was the best Grundschule in the whole of Berlin.  I'm still loving it.  Perhaps the best part of all is when I have to work with the 6 year olds.  It's so funny as they sometimes really have no idea what I'm yacking about, like on Tuesday I had to pretend that I was a pet shop owner and they had to buy pets from me.  Try explaining that one to a group of children who answer the question "and what is your name?" with "six fingers".  I completely lost all dignity by the end of it but they seemed to quite enjoy watching me sprawling around the floor pretending to be a puppy.  It was really cute though because when I was walking home after that class I was behind one of the pupils who was telling her mum about all the pets she bought from Katy.  Cute.
