Went to Cafe Gnosa today for lunch (goulasch, nice one), but the dreaded secondhand smoke wasn't there anymore... Since Oct. 01, 2007 "no smoking". yeahhh. :-D
Had a chat on the phone with one of my former colleagues from "before the wall came down"... he told me, that once the Stasi approached him, as he should keep me under surveillance... like should go for a beer with me and ask me about the "other punks in the hermsdorf area and their opinions and such"... scary in a way... his dad was a Major or similar (in the Stasi) and was able to reject the request on the behalf of his son... now you tell me...

Great, again I got up at 5:30... some might like it, I don't... told my colleagues about http://www.alleyinsider.com/ and how accurate some of the posts about AOL financials situation seem...
Took the tube to Barons Court, easy peasy really. Gave Steph her pressies, and now to talk about one more project, which we are supposed to "handle efficiently, no PRINCE2, but to adapt a pragmatic approach instead". sure :)
P.S: helping Sven to move house last Sat was tiring indeed. jaisus, was i wrecked or what on Sat eve...

typical breakfast in www.Paul.fr - great way to start the day really :-D

and again we didn't have to pay (thanks Mehdi!) ... so sad really ;) and as you do on a friday, of course one has wine for lunch... even better, since it was one of the "cheap" St. Emillion ones...

Funda - the cute waitress -
- onto ex-sparr - sambuca, mexicans and vodka lemon; home at midnight)I was pleased to get up at 5:15 a.m., to catch my plane...

flight went well (luckily). but the best (thanks to Martial) was the place we went for lunch. crowded, a bit sticky, but great food... plus, the usual rosé wine :-D

now back to work...

Spontaneous trip to the sea. booking a room was easy enough. leaving at 5:30 we manged too, since I had finished my "cutting the grass" job in time... 2 hours drive to the sea, unpacking, off to the beach... splendid sunset :)
Saturday more time at the beach (weather was more so and so), and when we got ready to leave, the sun came out. of course we didn't leave and stayed until the sun was gone again (it lasted for tremendous 30 mins)... back home, quick coffee at Karstens house, and lurvely Thai curry in the evening.
Sunday a trip to Prohnstorf, for some music and entertainment (SHMF) -
