Not much time to post

I’m spending the weekend at home (well my old home at my parents’s house) in Koblenz. We were celebrating my and my brother’s birthday today with the whole family. I enjoy being around my family (parents, brother, aunts, cousins…) a lot. We’re always having a lot of fun when we get together. Unfortunately though that means that I’ll not be online often during the weekend. Also without DSL surfing the net just isn’t as much fun ;)

Yesterday after work we drove here. Took us the whole evening (around 7 hours). Fortunately though the journey was very uneventful. I placed the tripod in front of me when Michi was driving and took some pictures on the Autobahn. I think some of them are quite good. I’ll see if some are worthy to be put on this site when I’m back in Berlin.

I had a fun day. I wanted to see if I could find new glasses today cause I’ve had my current ones for around 5-6 years now (Can’t believe it’s already been this long. Feels like yesterday that I got them). Well anyhow, so I went to my favorite optometrist (is that the right word?) to see what he had. It’s so hard for me to decide on new glasses. Cause they change your whole appearance. I haven’t decided on anything yet. I’m going back on Monday with my mom. She usually has a pretty good taste in these things.

I love to go shopping in Koblenz (100,000 inhabitants). Everything is so close together. All the shops you might want to go to are in walking distance. Whereas a shopping tour in Berlin (3.5 million inhabitants) is much more work cause you have to travel from one end of the city to another and then back again.

So I bought many small things and I think I will return on Monday and buy that great coat I saw and maybe a pair of shoes. I’ll keep you posted.

I bought the expansion for Carcassonne. It sounds like it could be fun. I think some of the new tiles they included might make the game a bit more interesting because there’s more strategic desicions you have to make. We haven’t played it yet though because we don’t have the base game with us.

When we returned home from our shopping tour most of the family was already there so I spend the rest of the day having fun with them.

Now I’m quite tired. I’ll watch some TV and then go to sleep. I’ll try to get back to you tomorrow!

carcassonne, I’ve played that once and could never remember the name of it. (since it’s 1:30 in the morning, I’ll probably forget it again after sleeping.) Neat little game, even though I massively lost the one time I played. What does the expansion bring to the game?

I wondered why our BM games were idle for so long. ;) I’m glad to hear you’re having fun. Have a safe trip back home.
