*cough*
Got a packet from NZ- Milo! Gingernuts! Yum!! Every dunk of a Gingernut is a precious moment when you're on the other side of the world.
Last night we went to the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time - cool building. The music was Debussey conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Rattle asked everyone (in German) so try and minimise their coughing, so people waited till the interludes before hacking away. Dubussey is not easy to listen to, but it was also fun to sit there and people watch (there were hundreds - it sold out months ago, too). The black and white tuxes, the glistening instruments, the accoustics.
Speaking of accousitcs, I read today that Shihad have changed their name back to Shihad, after being Pacifier for a few post-9/11 years. They never really stopped being Shihad in NZ, anyway. People sometimes find change hard to take.
Today is Deutsch-only day, where my (NZ) bf and I speak only in German. Although we are very disparate levels it helps a lot and keeps me thinking in German for most of the day.
