let´s catch up

Dear girls and boys,

I am using Sam´s account :) so many things happened and I don´t know where to start, so will start with what first comes into my mind :)

It´s the last day of May and raining cats and dogs here in Köln, why is that? Just came back from the town center and my jeans were REALLY soaking from the shoes up to the knees. But it is nice, feeling the rain running through the hair, or down the face. One strange observation; why do people with umbrellas always walk close to the building where the people without umbrellas stand or walk under balconies and small roofs so they won´t get wet? It´s cave behaviour all over the place and actually hilarious if I think about it.

Schnuckies:
I am quite confused these days about men and I think they feel the same way about me.

Work:
The main reason for being so elusive throughout the last two weeks was that I went through my first project. It wasn´t just any project, let me explain. The company I work for has more than 30.000 employees world wide, this is without the mother company of course which is by far bigger. The biggest client has aggressively demanded transparency amongst other things in the production process and threatened to seek for another service provider if we don´t do what they want. So my first project started from scratch, the director´s board, my boss, the client and the client´s Key Accounters where politely breathing down my neck. Finished it yesterday including the quality tests, all in time and I think I established the reputation I needed. I must say that I was really tense for several reasons but I do feel better now.

Work and personal impressions
I am lucky enough to have colleagues who let me do my thing and don´t bother me, even though my approaches may be weird from time to time.

Emilia & the house:
this weekend is dedicated to piano playing, letting the rain fall outside, enjoying some good movies and hang out with friends.
Sam is wearing my glasses at the moment until the sun is out again :) I am happy about the new fridge I got two weeks ago after the old one breaking. Olivia; Punica the pomegranate and another plant I haven´t got a name for yet seem to like the rain, two, their green is basically glowing! I think I will put in order my book shelf next week, there is too much stuff in there!
Today I felt really happy because I went to the shop I buy blouses/shirts from and they had one in dark pink, can´t wait to try it once its washed :)

Oh boy, I am getting really tired whilst writing this, so I will have a short nap and will dream of the good things in the world, like Spain, my preferred cocktail-bar, italian food (Keren, tell me about it :) ) and all of you out there!

A big hug,
B

Sam alone at home

Dear all,

Birgit is at work and I am, well, having the house for myself!

Let me tell you what is going on...

Birgit´s headache is saying good-bye, she didn´t sleep tonight and I am so curious to know what exactly happened in that meeting today, but I guess she is doing fine.

Emilia the piano: tuned, in a good mood and entertained by Birgit more and more.

Olivia the plant and flower friends: waiting for the rain that is sure to come today.

me: writing to you all, spreading huge hugs and telling you all that we miss you guys! As a matter of fact, we have been collecting fotos (which have to be checked by the people on them) and stories (which they will have to bear ;) )
for you, so please don´t think we are forgetting you, all to the contrary!!!!!!!!

Birgit: I guess she can´t wait to be home again in order to sleep soonissimo today.


A big big hug to all of you!!!!
Sam

a big hug to everybody,
B

Olivia seems to love tea!

Dear friends,

Birgit is out enjoying the sun and IIIIII just talked to Olivia the flower about blooming and stuff.

I know now why she is so "bloomy"! Apparently, Birgit has been taking her morning tea in an armchair in the living room for a while now. And when she can´t finish it, she puts the rest in the pot where Olivia lives! Why both think she likes White Tea best:)

And of course he loves the music around very much!

Will write more next week, we have made fotos from people and would like to show them to you!

Huggies,
Sam
