Last of April

So damn lovely! On Saturday we had something like 30°C here in Darmstadt, which would have been pure hell for an albino nerd but I was spared of sunburns and a heat stroke as I "luckily" was working through the heat point in the coolness of the handicraft shop. Later I picked up my honeydew from the train station and did some major food shopping (strawberries, cherry tomatoes, apple juice, salad and cookies) at Penny's before drawing in for a siesta.

In the evening I had a walk in the Prinz-Emil-Garten with da boyfriend as the evening was still so warm lovely. The Park was blooming green and smelling heavenly with apple tree flowers and lilacs here and there. My neighbourhood seemed to have noticed the same as the beer gardens (a loan translation from the German "Biergarten") of Bessungen were filled to the brim with middle-aged turnips enjoying the first Summer Saturday.

Nothing else to hype this time. I don't even have photos as my camera's battery blinked low before I left the door. What a super shame!!! But worry not my fellow cockapoos, I shall have a lot of walks with my photo apparatus now that the nature turned inspiring again!

As it happens, I discovered a mystical fairy forest a few Tram-stops away from my door, and intend to explore it a bit in the coming days. I wanted to show it to my dearest today but the tight timetable didn't give in for adventure. Lucky so, since we had to run in the rain for the last 100 meters! Now everything smells like earth and flowers, the blackbirds are chirping and some strange monster beetle is stuck in my paper lamp. //I'm getting ready to evacuate myself to my roomie's crib//


All hail to May!

Welcome

5 Readers Ou Em Geeeeh! Thank you people, I know it's a tiny poop for the Blogger World but a huge Whirlwind in my Tea Cup! ♥ How seriously ridiculously excited I get to notice that weeny note greeting me with New Comment or New Reader, everytime it happens. I know there are more of you anonymousies out there, since on the best days I get up to 8 views, but worry not you shall remain secret until you decide it's cool to be in my gang in public.

I'm a bit busy at the moment with work, down with cold and my periods, Oh the PAIN!, but to cheer up the rainy days of Darmstadt I shall post photos of my favourite Summer Saturday activities: fleamarketing! Presenting you the merry very best Fleamarket there is in Germany (yes Berlin you lose), the St. Pauli Flohmarkt ♥

I'm fond of this Fleamarket because of it's relatively small size, laughing people, sunny atmosphere and cheap prices. As a part of the more artistic area, there are always some really intriguing things to find and sometimes you get lucky with snatching even designer items with just a few euros!

I highly recommend tourists too to drop by when in Hamburg. The Fleamarket is there throughout the Summer on every Saturday from about 7am to 16pm. Early birds should get to the scene between 9 and 10am the latest if you want to avoid the bigger crowd and don't like fighting for the goods.

Okie dokie, I'm off to work but wish you honey pies a fruitful day in what ever you do!

Light + Building

Last Tuesday Kevin inspired me and Roberto to join him in Light and Building 2012 trade show in Frankfurt. Since I got a free ticket from Elena, I kind of had to go and I'm glad I did! The show wasn't directly to architecture students, as the items mainly consisted of every possible kind of lamps. I suppose it was good for us to see a bit of that variety of trade stands as it might employ us later in life.

I'm aware of the shitty quality of my photos but I actually wasn't allowed to take any,  naturally I dug out my camra to steal some shots and run away afterwards, so the outcome of the sneaky illegalities is here and there a bit blurry. I'm almost sorry about that..

My favourite section of Light and Building fair by far was the modern design lighting. I was sighing after Design and Industrial Design studies after seeing this loveliness, as buildings seem to inspire me so little at the moment.

You know, in trade fairs you usually collect many brochures, cards, chocolates, gummy bears and branded fabric bags to stick your numerous contacts and business cards in? One of the high lights of this fair was hunting after the Golden Shopping Bags that kept on peekabooing throughout the day on everyones arm. We hadn't seen the stand, so spying on people to see what lable was on this beauty was quite a task. Finally at the end of the day we managed to trace it back to Deltalight-stand in hall number 3.1

Boy-o-boy I almost screamed of joy and then bursted in surprised giggles as the whole stand was wrapped up in gold like a piece of christmas chocolate.

oh so happy

the boys got theirs too!

Oh yeah I was also spotted by some model agency facehunter on that day. He said they were looking for blond fresh faces and I should definitely give it a go. They don't do nude photos btw. If I want to apply I should send them some kind of portfolio of photos with my personal measurements and stuff. I don't really know if it would be my thing but a little extra money wouldn't harm my economics right? What do you think?

Nuf said, have a happy week everybody!

Downton Abbey

Everytime I'm having hard times I turn to period dramas to cheer me up or to keep me in the Dreamland. Sunday noons with my mother, a murder mystery and a large pot of tea are the best on this planet. Downton Abbey here, among apricot marmalade, has been my latest passion. I believe I was born a century too late..

Smiles

Last night I missed my train in Frankfurt. My way home took me altogether a little over 2 hours and I was in bed around half past one. This cost me to sleep over my lesson in Communication Psychology this morning thus I feel like skipping the whole day now.

Yesterday, in the night train short before Langen, this man stopped at my side, turned to me and said "Entschuldigung aber ich muss Ihr sagen, der Winter naht." and with these words and a wide smile he got off the train. Guess what book I was reading?

Easter is the new Christmas

On Easter Sunday, the sunniest, most beautiful of days we made a short day trip to Wismar with my loved-ones. This is what families should be like. Thank you.

Eichhörnchen Becher

Beautiful and fragile like a soap bubble. It floates further and further away, you reach up trying to catch it and it bursts into thin air in your hands. Just like any trip, this one also had to come to an end.

Goodnight my love in Marburg.

Sleep tight.
