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

Sam´s corner
Dear all,
this is Sam!
I have to admit that I have been far too quiet for the time being, the trust is that I am busy trying to follow up on all the stuff that is happening here!
This weekend was amazing! Dear friends from Paris came over and B and them were unbelievably lucky: the sun was shining, Bonn and Köln presented themselves in the best light and they enjoyed each others company so much! In the afternoon, she met with another friend and we went home in time before midnight, working life seems to take its toll sometimes....
Today, another lucky day: SUN, and Bs colleague from Northern Germany met in our home town Köln to wander around and enjoy the day.
B told me today were selections and is happy that the highest woman in Germany is counselor again for further 4 years (I am not sure if it is the right word, where is my dictionary).
Also, we both became fans of the updated Jesus!
I have a lot more stuff to tell but it might fall under peluche-owner privileges, so we will have to take the information stream up elsewhere :)
Have a great week.
A big, furry and fluffy hug,
B

dear chiquis
Dear all!
I did not forget about you, soonissimo, life, happiness and fun. All to the contrary. The more stuff is opening up, and please apologise the hint without the explanation, the more things seem to be smoothing out.
During the last weeks, life has been majorly treating me well, let´s start chronically:
The week with Bea, her daughter and husband was AMAZING. Yes, they will beg to differ again, but it was so! For starters, Greta is so sweet (von wem hat sie das wohl :) )! Then, spending some quality time with Bea and Christian was great, we have known each other for so long and catching up is so much easier stretching on the grass and watching the bambooplant grow, isn´t it? Berlin, the ever changing town feels more alive and ever. While I am writing this, a few images of “my” Berlin cross my mind and it seems to me a series of growth, colour, change and character. Does anybody out there know a city that gives you that vibe?
We went out to the cinema, amazing nature and went on bikes. And the image and sound of Greta cheering her father to go faster on the bike is quite likely to stick with me forever. Besitos to all of you, and thank you so much for having me in your life, I am more than happy to come back soon asap.
When I came back, Rob was greeting me at home, it was so sweet! She had cooked, felt at home in the apartment that is also her home and I am keeping fingers crossed for what is coming. You will manage!
The second week of my holiday was amazing, too. I wasn´t too delighted about the craftsmen shattering walls and in the apartment below which at some point felt like a small earthquake announced major dimensions. But that enabled me to be out, enjoy the sun, watching people in the street and not thinking about anything but the blue sky, greeting nice people, dogs and children. Simply peace. Big holiday finale with a friend, long talks and lots of fun for hours.
Sam is doing fine.
I have a lot more to tell you guys, but I think I can sum things up by praying that live continues treating us well.
Right now, from my perspective, it does.
A big hug to all of you, besitos und bis bald,
B

Sunday to Monday
Dear all,
any suggestion on how get rid of sleeplessness from Sunday to Monday? Hhm, maybe I should invite sleeplessness over to the living room and join the Martini session I will prepare in two minutes?
That´s a good idea.
Hugs to all of you and happy to see you soon, 3Bs!
Besooos,

Stardust
Stéphane Grappelli´s piece stardust fell into my hands. It is the perfect sound for today.
click here -> STARDUST
It is close to midnight, people are getting ready for some relaxing and fun. An extremely stressy week went by, I am happy having lived it, happy it´s over and looking for some peace. I realize that my life is under stress lasting more than one day when some or all of the following occurs: jeans might finish drying on me because they haven´t totally finished drying on the drying thingie, pulling the noodles from the hot-plate too early because I am famished (mostly in the evening), always being late to things (I almost forgot that I had demanded scrap for Wednesday to be retrieved from my house, so boy, what a hurry). Abuse of chocolate, mate tea and delusional substances like wafles from the vending machine in the cantina, they are unbelievably good, shoot directly into the brain and make me feel sleepy but they are definitely worth the taste. And puffed rice with a chocolate-cocos topping in abundance :)
You should see Sam, he is fine, enjoying the new walls, maybe wondering why the ceiling in the living-room looks strange, furniture still standing around in weird angles and the amount of laundry doesn´t decrease. And giggling about his clumsy flat-mate who is wandering around in the appartment at 05.30 every morning, trying to lighten up and avoiding getting bruised from bumping into something with sharp edges, dropping something fragile or tripping over her own two feet, you all know what we are talking about :)
From time to time Sam and I are exercising in the evening which is quite unfair, Sam is so bendy and when it comes to Pilates, he always wins. Running is not on the schedule yet, but for funsies I will give him some headstart, ha ha ha.
Got nothing more to tell and I am falling asleep with my eyes open!
A big hug to all of you out there and hope to see you soonissimo.
