Maru's Mun Journal

Last year's really seedy pub has turned into quite a nice one where I can sit outside and drink shandy while my laundry is drying.



And here, you see my plants fighting, as requested:



Here you see how badly entangled my lemon balm and the clematis have become after only two days.



But the lemon balm is still going strong and pushing through the encroaching clematis.

White mulled wine with apples and spices, sweets from moons_storm, and a nice Pterry novel...

The Nazgul had been to a kendo camp beyond Berlin all week, and only returned today, so we just met up in the evening to go to the little Chinese place around the corner, and catch up. We each had a beer, but you can only see mine.



There was quite the spectacular sunset going on in the background. The clouds tantalisingly hinted at the long-awaited rain; the weekend had been just awfully hot. Lucifer had spent it lying belly-up by the french windows.



Here is me with my beer, squinting into the sunset. Cheers!

Later, when the Nazgul had successfully got home, there was a thunderstorm and lots of rain, and it's still dripping, and significantly cooler.

Yay!

I saw this pissed-off Bavarian lederhosen dwarf while I was wandering around in a trendily run-down commercial district looking for that kendo party. It was too damn hot, and the promised cloudburst had gone away again.



When I found it, it was a trendy white loft full of scary, sportsy strangers, there was no music, and all the food was already gone. So I told the Nazgul I was very sorry, but no, and left. Instead, I went to the nearby beer garden 'Villa Flora' where everybody was totally ignoring the huge flatscreens full of football, and had a nice pint (which you see here) while fanning myself with that little purple fan from Verona, and cooling down.

Then I went home. There were drunken football orcs in the train. I will have to avoid going out much in the next few weeks.
