Here is the party at Clemens & Petra's house - the house that we shall soon be calling home! We will miss both of them but we can't wait to be in such a lovely place. The party is getting going and we have had music, food, wine, beer and soon - Schnapps! Then there is brunch tomorrow too!

Good Lunch and Unexpected Visitor

Went out to meet my good mate Jim for the normal Wednesday Haussmann lunch at Zic Zacs in Allschwill and discovered it was just Jim and I until late on when another American Dan arrived with his young daughter. It was a hot day and I had cycled so it was even hotter going home (and that after a couple of sneaky beers too!)

Also today I met a new visitor who had popped into our bathroom - here he is pictured. Took one tupperware bowl and a bit of patience to get him out onto the balcony to be released.

Hot Ride

Did a reasonably quick but very hot ride today, off to France and back. Then off to the garden to pick more raspberries, courgettes & first aubergine we've ever produced!

Public Viewing WC Semi-Final

Went to the Public Viewing again today in hope of a reasonable crowd for the Germany v Spain Semi-Final. Still not packed but a reasonable attendance with a majority of German supporters unsurprisingly. Spain won 1-0.
