Australia Day

Hello loves!

Thank you very much for your sweet comments on my last post.

I have recovered a bit and was able to relax. I think a lot of the pain in my foot is caused by mental stress so it was good to mentally calm down a bit. Putting my mind at ease has soothed the pain in my foot quite a bit.

It's healing veeery slowly though, so annoying!

Anyways, now I'm back to blogging and for a smooth re-entry after a one week hiatus I only have a short post with snapshots for you.

Yesterday was Australia Day, so happy belated Australia Day to all Australian readers!

My first national holiday over here! I dressed in the colours of the Australian flag, Red, White and Blue, because that was the easier version. Australia's national colours are actually Green and Gold but my closet does not offer this combo (because over half of my clothes are stored away in my dad's basement in Germany).

We had Jarryd's family over for a late lunch, then played video games, had drinks and later dessert. Chicken, beef, salad, puff pastry snacks, trifle, we had it all. That's the reason I couldn't eat much today! Still total food coma from yesterday!

It was actually not very Australian of us to stay inside the airconditioned house all day but I am happy we did because it was bullshit hot outside.

I'll be back with picture-heavier posts soon and wish you a happy Tuesday!

Tomorrow is already hump day and the next weekend is almost in sight so hang in there people!

Toodels!

Hi guys!

How is everyone doing today? I hope everything's fine, it's the middle of the week so there are only two more days to go until the weekend :)
You know what? After my low point mood last week I have started feeling more productive again and that's so nice. The last few weeks after my Budapest trip made me so lazy because I didn't have anything special to do, no term papers, no books to read etc. Of course I like having nothing to do but browsing the web or watching your favourite series, I mean who wouldn't? However it feels good to do something useful again, especially concerning university. The next semester is about to begin and I hope it will be the final step before my bachelor thesis, it's high time for me to finish this part of my studies soon.
Furthermore I need to figure out how to organize my days for the coming weeks because my uni schedule is fuller than ever this time and I also want to get to a certain gym routine and one for blogging, cooking, homework and housework. Phew...

Okay before I start to bore you with my plans I rather say something about the photos: I told you me and Patrick went to the park on Monday as it was a holiday and tadaa these are some of the pics.
We went to the North Park, a big green area between city, tradefair and the Rhine. It's a lovely place with different gardens, fountains etc. The weather was perfect so a lot og people had the same idea and wandered around, lay in the grass or played soccer and many children floundered about in the water, everything felt rather like a mild summer day.
We took a walk around the main areas of the park, but unfortunately we took the wrong way somewhere and thus missed out the Japanese Garden. I'll try to go there again soon, hopefully before autumn has fully arrived...









I wish there were more days like this Monday, they would make life so much nicer. That's a kind of resolution I made for fall/winter: despite the weather we have to go out more. It's relaxing, interesting and a good way to get me tired so don't lie awake in the evenings. The last few weeks did not only made me lazy but they also ruined my sleeping habits ;)

After our walk in the park we got ourselves some food and dessert to spend the rest of the day on the sofa with some episodes of Planet Earth, aaah perfect day off.
Here is the rest of the photos:









Happy Wednesday!

summer holiday dreams

Hi guys!

Normally I'm the type of person that hates hot weather and prefers cold places and rain and snow, but I would definitely make an exception for these lovely little paradisiac spots. My last real holiday outside of Germany was long long ago, so I've been looking for extraordinary places to go on holiday to this year or in 2011. This is where I'd love to go (most of them are even eco-friendly):



Santorini (Greece)

location: Vedema Resort










Patergassen (Austria)

location: Almdorf Seinerzeit











Ballinskelligs (Ireland)

location: Solar Lodge











Piegut-Pluviers (France)

location: Fisherman's Cabin












Savudrija (Croatia)

location: lighthouse Savudrija










Which location is your favourite? :)
I'd love to travel to all of them one by one...ah well, someday...



Have a lovely day!
