Very Sick Cat
That`s why I have not been blogging for ages. Please keep your fingers crossed. Thank you.

Fibre

I have shot this photo today for my fact sheet on fibre:
Dieses Foto habe ich heute fuer mein Merkblatt zum Thema Ballaststoffe gemacht:

Appointment! :-)

I`m not generally someone who will moan and then not do anything.
After 7 years in Scotland (minus 3 weeks, I came in July), I miss the contact with other Germans.
So I went and had a wee look and found a German speaking group in Edinburgh.
Their next meeting is the day after tomorrow – to wach the [...]

Football fans

It is a sad existence to be a football fan during the Eurocup, living in a country which is not one`s own.
Part of the joy of such a tournament is sharing the excitement with others. Who wants to watch football on one`s own? I don`t. I`d much rather gather loads of Germans around me (or [...]

Nutrition Diploma Course

It`s there at last!
The first module from the first “proper” nutrition course.
I enjoyed the anatomy & physiology course, too, but this one here is very different and more in line with what I had expected.
In addition to the home work assignments, I now get to do case studies – I get a short description of [...]

On my own

Jimmy is going to DRUPA – the Duesseldorf exhibition where we first met 8 years ago.

It`s about being different, coming out, fitting in and wanting to be accepted and valued for what you are. Instead however, you are the “freak”.
I still [...]

A Costa Blanca Beach

This was Tuesday in Spain – we drove down the coast (rather than up the coast as we did on Monday) and have found this beautiful little place half way. For two hours, we just went up and down the beach.
We drove down until we arrived at Cartagena, but we had no time to get [...]

£ 1.08-9

That`s the price for petrol (not super) at the mo at the Esso station in Musselburgh. Seriously.
I have filled up last week but now, I`m determined not to do so again until the prices go back down to a reasonable level. I refuse to buy into the panic about running dry but these crazy price [...]
