mummy's parents' home, Germany - 24th December 2011

Hello again!
Mummy, I and the Wollmaus arrived here two days ago very late in the evening. We'll stay here for two weeks before classes start up again for mummy. Finally holidays! Mummy promised she will have more time for me!
Today we got out the Christmas tree for the gift giving tonight! It is made of plastic and very small (becaue of the cats living here), but the lights change colours.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

Just wanted to show you all the things I crafted yesterday and today.
Besides the shuriken and dolphin I made a bunny, a penguin, a shirt, a beetle, a pineapple and the big one is called "kusudama" (a japanese decorative ball). It was a lot of fun making them all!

Tonight mummy, her parents and I made fondue for dinner. Mummy explained that you are supposed to put some pieces of meat on the long sticks and put them into hot or boiling oil. We also had meatballs and vegetables (pepper, asparagus, mushrooms and tiny corncobs) to put on the sticks. The olives, tiny cucumbers and pearl onions were not to be put on the sticks but eaten as a side dish. We also had potato salad and different kinds of sauce to go with the meal.
Very delicious I can tell you!
But look for yourselves! Doesn't it look great?!

grandma's living room, Germany - 2nd January 2012

After our shopping tour we visited mummy's grandma and brought her some groceries we got for her. It was a bit boring for me so mummy and I were sillying around.
Look, I dressed up as a pineapple or a dragon! *roar* And mummy made me a kimono, but it is some sizes too small for me...

Today mummy showed me around the village where she grew up a little. Because of the bad weather and mummy not feeling really well we had to postpone our "sightseeing" a little. But I liked what I saw on the way to the post office to send mummy's first postcrossing cards.
The first picture shows a stork's nest which hasn't been used recently, but every year there is hope the stork will come back or a new one will find the nest.
The little river is called "Mühlenbach" (mill stream) because in former times there was a little mill.
And the last thing I saw was the post office and the yellow post box where mummy put the cards.
Next time I will write I'll probably be back home.

I've been back home for a week now - a very relaxing week for me and a very stressful week for mummy. She had a project for her university due yesterday...
Today we spent very comfortably without any work. And then all of a sudden we saw this beautiful sunset outside. So we had to take some pictures! It looks gorgeous, doesn't it?
