Weekend Recap : Examen-style

Friday: Autumn sunshine.  Purchasing Mumford and Sons cd for only 7 euros.  Briefly escaping the city bustle and walking past horses and sheep and glimpsing the sunset.  Babysitting consisting primarily of eating ice cream and various American delicacies (Mac & Cheese, brownies and Starburst), using Kelly's flatrate phone to talk to Grandma for the first time in 7 months, and watching Gilmore Girls. Being able to give an exhausted mother a night off.

Saturday: More autumn sunshine. Pausing on my bike ride to offer to take a group photo. Refreshing run around the Alster. Re-instating my post-run tradition of lying on my back and looking up at the sky.  Lying on the lakeside dock in the sunshine. Repeatedly dancing like a fool to "The Cave." The smell of clean laundry. Returning to the Alster to read in the sun. Receiving a ride to and from Catherine's. Fantastic home-made vegetarian lasagna.  The Speicherstadt game and good company. Chocolate.

Sunday: Sleeping in. More dancing. Continued autumn sunshine. Thought-provoking church message.  Washing dishes. Having a bike and the health to ride it. Riding along the Elbe. Dozing in the sun on the beach. Power-riding uphill with help from M and S. Being in such a good mood that my bike chain breaking and having to push my bike home didn't phase me. Long overdue chat with Emily.  Quasi-successful pumpkin soup.

  1. what is this 'the cave' of which you speak? I thought you were talking about Plato but apparently it's some sort of album?
