Ever had one of those weeks where everything just seems to fall into place? I just have, and it sure does feel wünderbar! During Caron's visit last week (she has been instructed to write up a report of said visit for the blog, so that will hopefully come soon!), we went to Ku'damm for some shopping therapy. We also popped in to the Irish Pub located in the "Europa Centre", a horribly cheesey little place that doesn't fit the fabulous Ku'damm shoppin...

Sadie Adventures! So one of the biggest things I have missed most about moving to Germany has been English accents. I find myself regulating my language to ensure others can understand me, and am in danger of losing some big words from my vocabulary. Also the English mentality (among my friends anyway) of being silly and giggly and childish just Would Not Be Stood For in Germany.

I have 3 separate blog posts to write and post, so expect an inundation in the next day or 3! First of all, there was the small matter of my first visitor from England: my brother. Starting as I mean to go on, I fell asleep for too long and woke up just 20 minutes before my...

I made a resolution to never post on my blog if I wasn't in a good mood. So I don't know if this will ever see the light of day. But sometimes life is a little overwhelming, and I guess it's good to write about it. A year ago, I was still "straight". I was drinking living a typical student lifestyle, with lots of nights out and working (occasionally) in the Social Bar, which was like a home to me.
