These are my happy faces because right now it's SNOWING!
I haven't seen snow since year 9, so you can imagine my excitement at about 11:30 last night when I looked out my window to see snow! I managed to get a few good pictures, although it's not cold enough to actually keep the snow on the ground frozen. But it's still gorgeous. This weekend has been a pretty cruisy one, Kathrin and Frank are busy moving house and I like to think I've been pretty helpful, haha! The kids are being looked after this weekend, and it's so quiet without them! I miss having them around, haven't seen them since Friday So I am looking forward to seeing them this afternoon when we go to do some early Christmas celebrating.
Last night Frank, Kathrin and I went to the Christmas markets in Merzig. These markets are all over Germany in the lead up to Christmas. It's full of little stalls, a lot of which belong to the schools of the area who sell the children's christmas decorations to raise funds. And by the way Loz, Bella, Al and Kazza - if you're reading this, German kid's christmas decorations s*** all over ours! There would be no hiding them at the back of the tree out of shame, haha. I tried some Glühwein at the markets - which is basically hot wine for those of you playing along at home. Man it was strong but I loved it :) Then we went out for dinner to a pizzeria and I played it safe with a Vegetarian pizza...lucky Kathrin and Frank were there because I had no idea what anything on the menu was!
I'm having such a good time, at the moment I'm still trying to plan some New Year celebrations and from there I'm not sure where my adventure will take me! This afternoon I'm going to the markets and shops with Cati, a Spanish girl who is Au Pairing around the corner from me.
Anyway that's it from me, I love and miss you all and hope you're enjoying the sweltering Aussie heat! Have a beer for me!
