Happy days
I always enjoy to receive news and messages, regardless in which way. Nowadays, of course, via email, short text messages, phone or via post mail. However, the latter (means: letter) is rather unlikely.
Month: February 2015
The ice climb
Last weekend we spent some nights in the forest again. Another weekend without electricity and without water but with friendly people, fondue, some sauna time and a new adventure for me: Iceclimbing.
(Not) lost in translation
I arrived six weeks ago and it’s time for a short recap, especially about the language.
Although I spoke a little bit French before my arrival, I knew it is the everyday language here and it will challenge me, during the first weeks…
All I want: Brezn!!!
I have to admit: I miss to eat bavarian food. Not necessarily in the beginning, but after five weeks of other meals, there is especially one thing I really miss: Brezn. Yesterday we had our 11 years anniversary and I knew, I wanted to prepare something special for that day. I googled a lot of recipes and hoped, that I will find one, that comes close to the Brezn, I know from home. For my first try, I think it turned out very well and on top, it has a taste, that reminds me home. Et voilà – Ready for serving!
Yarn keeps warm
A new month has begun and a new project, too. While I must wait for my working-visa, I use the time to knit and purl a lot of stitches. I intended to knit a colourful blanket and I hope that I will succeed, because I am not quite used to knit. To start off, I therefore bought some merino yarn in colours Amethyst, Aubergine, Fern Green, Periwinkle, Silver Cloud, and Navy blue that I found at the Knitca-Store. Tomorrow, we will spend almost 7 hours in the car, to drive to Montréal. This time, I’m happy to have a long drive, cause I can knit a lot on my blanket.
