We arrive at home this afternoon and I am exhausted, but happy to be here and equally scared, as I have no clue as to what lays ahead of us! I take a 15 minute space mask rest – which promises miracles, intergalactic relaxation and the kind of space escape I am longing for – …

Still in hospital…. it only took them a full day to x-ray Mia and it will probably take them another one for the accident surgeons to talk to us 😉 Mia is in good hands though, gets regular medication after she was in a lot of pain yesterday and is quite jolly… she just cannot …

Three more sleeps…. and the magic is at risk due to warm weather and constant rain – but do I let anything spoil our Christmas joy?!? No way – instead of ice skating with me, the kids go swimming with Markus, while I play Christmas elf and wrap all their presents and write some cards…. …

Oh what a night with my cousin Sylvie…. an operetta – „Im weißen Rössl“ („the White Horse Inn“) by Ralph Benatzky – light entertainment one could say…. but what a blast! The costumes, the sceneries, the ideas… they really make the most out of the possibilities and sometimes just simple tricks would do the magic …
