say a little prayer....

Today is a difficult day.

Throughout the last few days, friends and me had a lot of fun. One of the stories starts with underwear. I am not sure if all of you are familiar with the Underwear/nightgown-store story but I will start with this one. Once upon a time in Spain, in a chain-store of the aforementioned, a friend of mine and me had opposite cabins for trying things and would open them after having counted to three in order to see what looks best on us. It was so much fun, I think we spent two hours there (this coming from me who hates shopping altogether). Anyway, a similar story happened on Monday and yesterday. I cannot divulge too many details but a friend of mine needed advice, so we would open a forum and discuss stuff until late in the night. Spain was involved too. And we were giggling about it a lot.

Also, a project of mine needs a lot of attention right now so that one went well too.

And after all this all of a sudden you realize that a friend of yours is in big trouble because she lost someone substantial and recovering will be so difficult.... I am so sorry, and words are so limiting on a day like this.

All I have left for the moment are little prayers, the hope for better times to come for those in pain, and a big hug that cannot be given soon enough.

focus



You guys,

Life seems to be so contradictory sometimes and all of a sudden everything seems to be crystal clear. I will try to explain. as I discussed with a friend, it sometimes seems like I am watching three moovies at the same time, getting the general idea but not really focussing on either of them with the attention they deserve. The result: knots in the attention span and confusion.

So, nothing more and nothing less than great partying this week was necessary in order to put things into their place. Today, whilst working on some stuff at home I felt like I wasn´t missing out on anything and focussing on the task at hand felt easy, even though it was not the most pleasant task in the world.

Sam is doing fine and is happy that Harry (the violet elch with a warming bottle in the belly) called from Hannover today saying he is having a blast, Plonja enjoyed his temperatures, the kids played with him and he is in Hannover for the first time. Also, our friends are trying to find the fotos of Sam´s stunts in Monika´s Kung-Fu classes taken last year, he is looking forward to posting them here.

From my side, life is simply good. It still feels a little bohemian which is calming and soothing.

A big hug to all of you,
B

sleepless in Köln

Dear all,

This is Sam. While B is working because she is hung-over (?), and I am sitting in front of Tangerine in order to keep you up-to-date.

First of all, there was a party in our house on Saturday and if laughter and smiles are indicators, people were enjoying the company, somebody was bringing up a pig´s flu and celebrating it, I did not now we knew sick pigs? There was something B calls bohemian about it: a piano session in the middle of the night, a lot of food, smoking in the dormitory, a lot of beer, wine, the muppet show, a lot of music, the talk about a restaurant owned by somebody called Alice whom I don´t know...

...the dishwasher running in the morning and B can´t remember having put it on. From my studying and observation point on Emilia, humans are strange and prone to celebrate anything. Accept hang-overs, when it is too cold outside and a broken internet connection.

Apart from the party, there are a few things to discover: B will be travelling a lot and there is talk about some splendid outlooks. As I told you, my world is pretty much about entertaining my pet friends, Emilia and the birds flying back and forth outside, while human affairs seem to exceed concerns about knots in my fur or the fact that I urgently need a bath in order to keep my fur shining.

We should have a rest now, and so should all of you, we are keeping paws and fingers crossed, may the good spirits be with us. And please join us soonissimo for the next party, it was an honour having you.

A big fluffy hug,
Sam
