Winter Nest

Okay here we go welcome to my Crib in Darmstadt! I try to vary my interiors or textiles according to the season. For example green and yellow in the spring, blue and turquoise in the summer and finally orange and red through autumn and winter.

Like often enough repeated my room is only 13m² small big but has just the right size and price for my taste. It's located close enough to the city Center but is on a quiet street with really good connections to the tram, various grocery stores and to my University. I share a flat with 2 other people, both of them unique and nice. For this room, a shared bathroom, kitchen, tiny hall, balcony and a basement room I pay altogether 220 euros per month. Including water, heating and Internet.

I almost always manage to snatch the week old flowers from work before they're thrown away! Lately I've also spent more time on decorating my walls with posters, photos, postcards and prints.. By the way do you still remember these posts 1, 2 and how my room looked like before?

Summer in the "City"

During the weekend when my Darling Duckling is visiting me, I like to take Sunday walks with him to some unknown closeby corner in Darmstadt. Sounds cheesy but that's me. I just can't wait to get old and stroll the streets with my Grandpa-lover one day!

Last time we took a cut through the Orangerie and up the hill to Bessungen. Google it, if you must. It's still ever exciting to discover new areas in here, as I mainly move between my room, University and the grocery store nowadays.

I'm happy that my Mister shares my interest in Architecture. It's very relaxing to walk around, comment the buildings and details, picture the rooms inside and discuss our studies and worries like this. I dunno how much he can relax, however, as I'm running around with my camra, dashing across the street to some shop window, digging through dumpster lorrys and the stuff-to-be-thrown-away people here bring to the streets on Sundays. Thanks honey, for being so patient with me!

I have to pay this cutsy shop a visit some sunny day now as it's practically around the corner from my door!

Oh wow another weekend is at the door! Are you guys celebrating the Midsummer's Eve on Friday?

Schlossgrabenfest

 I'm sorry about updating so late and little lately but I've been kept busy with Universtity and the amazing weather here in the South. I've got a bunch of photos to share and so many ideas for blog posts but the time seems to be against me!

Anygays, like the titel says these photos are from Schlossgrabenfest, a free outdoor party organized annually one weekend in May in my new home town. The bands this year were a bit less impressive (I only ever heard of the Timid Tiger and Leningrad Cowboys before) than the year before, but nevertheless the people seemed to have a blast and Kevkev praised some reggae band I sadly missed on Saturday.

As the weather was warm and sunny, the audience in high spirits and food and alcohol were expensive, me and the guys decided to start the evening in Herrengarten. Funny enough, everyone else somehow came up with the same idea!

Short before the end I did dance on the street but I think I didn't miss much by going home early. This time I was wise enough to leave the beer and rum to better drinkers.

 Nighty night dearies.

The Colour of the Month

my garden

Here you go, once again one random Photo Post of the Spring greenery scenery at the D-Town. I haven't had much time lately to write about things lately, but just that you know, stuff is happening at it's normal pace and nothing spectacular has taken place. I'm getting the hang of the Hessish dialect maybe? My boyfriend disapproves strongly but as a chameleon, one doesn't really have a choice ge?

Oh yeah, I did have a short photoshoot with my somewhat new aquaintance Liz the other day! It included me hopping around through flower fields, me climbing on trees and me splashing around in a well. She has some wacko ideas for lil-ol-me but I have to admit to be equally excited about the chances to evolve in photography and amateur modelling.

I don't have any of the photos yet and we'll see if something presentable came out of it, since we had so limited time on our hands.. BUUUUUUUT I'll be sure to share you guys a few shots after I get them. Liz needs my roundish babyface for her portfolio to apply for University.

There are some reeeeeal nice buildings around the neighbourhood here, with humongous gardens and windows. I'm keeping my eyes open for a cheap castle close to the University. Haa haa haa..

Wish you people a lovely weekend!
