Well, I’m still in the midst of errands every day, and the only Internet cafe that seems to be near us doesn’t have hours that fit well into my schedule at the moment. So, while I’ll try to get back over to the Internet Cafe before the end of the week, I won’t promise.

In addition to my morning German class, my days are filled with excursions to stores for our growing collection of household items. There’s only so much one person can carry back on the bus, so now that Chris is working again, I´m needing to make more than one foray to pick up whatever we still need.

But maybe that will help us not buy so much all at once. You know you’ve been doing too much household supply shopping when two days after a trip, neither one of you can remember what was in the big box and bag that Chris carefully carried home on the bus one day. Too many purchases, too little time to relax and enjoy them.

Of course, that box, when we finally remembered what was in it, had held the vacuum cleaner. I’m not sure that´s something you’d exactly sit back and enjoy, so maybe that’s why we put it out of our mind.

Anyway, I may be more picky about making the expeditions to the shops in the afternoons  if the weather prediction for tomorrow and the following days holds true: the umbrellas are most decidedly up. We shall see how reliable the local forecast is when it comes to rain. In the meantime, greetings from the currently (mostly) sunny city of Tübingen.
