I'm much better at blogging when feeling depressive and therefore reflective. But tonight I feel flipping fantastic. For no apparent reason. There I was standing in the snow at Ostkreuz S-Bahn station waiting for the train, and it hit me. Not the train, that wouldn't be so good. But life hit me. And now I come to write this, I realise I was hit by the subconscious "Six Month Anniversary" train. Cos yes it's been that long, and I have survived exactly...

So, the start of a New Year in Berlin. I was working on Silvester (New Year's Eve), which meant I earned my rent just in time to pay it! But I still had a good night.

Last weekend, I played host to my third and fourth visitors in Berlin... Laura and Jordan.The weather may have took a turn for the Baltic, but we made the most of it still. After picking them up from the airport, we had some issues with the stupid woman at Rudow train station giving us the wrong train tickets, and a bit of drama when I thought I'd left my wallet on the bus - but soon all was well with the world!
