Sommerzeit 2016 Intro

"I'm going to live off Mamilein and Papichen for a couple of weeks."   When the funds have completely dried up and just existing costs money, time to pack up and head to the bosom of your familia.  

It was a teeny weeny prop plane.

Which is what I did, GO wanted to come but we could only spare the finds for one ticket.  He chose to stay in the UK as he had the chance of some extra work.  

I booked a very early flight, I hadn't been to Germany since Christmas an was very excited about spending time with the 'rents (as BB calls them).

This is GO's birthday cake....

We got into a nice little routine: breakfast, go out, go to a supermarket, home to watch a film (Tinkerbell is a favourite) with Mamilein while papichen "read" in the library, tea, soaps, FaceTime GO and bed to read.

In the past we have only really shopped, but this time we tried to do some sightseeing.  When we moved to Bünde twenty years we went every where and took in all the sights, it was nice to revisit old places and discover new ones too.

Hey there Sofa Bear

I've been a bit off my game, so to speak, recently.  I have been picking up germs left right and centre and have had as much energy as a flat battery.  I am as Mamilein is fond of saying felling 'Schlap Schlap!' 

I have hauled my sorry self into school every day and has arrived home feeling drained and head achy for nearly three weeks now, a quick trip to the doctor has  has no affect.  I just can't seem to shrug this feeling of light headed ness.

My grand plans, to go to far flung places and visit friends all over the globe with G.O this weekend, fell flat on its face.  I didn't leave the house and barely left my cocoon under the duvet.  When I did emerge from my bed I hibernated on the sofa.  I am now officially a sofa bear.

I'm hoping that a now that I have prepared the house for winter, I moved the table away from the heater, I can start relaxing into some cozy evenings on the sofa under my blanket.  I may have to dig out my box set of the Buccaneers to set me up for the long cold evenings.

Let's hope this reinvigorates me and puts a spring back into my step, so we can wave auf wiedersehen to MR.  Schalp Schlap.
