I woke up one morning to be greeted by what looked like the insides of a flyby shooting. I thought, "Shit, what is that!?" [No pun intended]. After close inspection, only because sooner or later it had to be removed, it was not what i thought but i was one of many victims of vandalism.
Someone thought it would be FUNNZY to throw eggs at the windows! Our distressed neighbor from the floor below came to our door to inform me that she had counted 23 crushed egg shells and incase i hadn't noticed, eggs were thrown at midnight.
The freezing air made the egg stick almost instantly and i spent the next hour spraying all sorts of cleaning agents just so i could scrape it off.
Gross!
I'm keeping an eye out for any dodgy looking people. I can only assume they're bored teenagers with nothing better to do in 0˙Celcius weather. Maybe Santa forgot to fill their stockings and they're just pissed off.
...
But on another note, my DHL Jumbo Box from back home arrived! A care package of my coats purchased way back in my Melbourne days, some of my clothes, heeled shoes, handbags, various kitchen bits and bobs have traveled across the world to be with me. Thanks mom! It's like going shopping... but not really.
I can't believe it's been already 10 months.
...
Then there was a short visit to the Grafenberger Wild Park. Deers ran freely and visitors could feed the animals.
We brought along macaroni sticks and fed the already overfed wild boars. The best part was there was no Entry fee. The sun was going down relatively fast, so we raced around trying to find the animals but i think most had passed out already. Probably hibernating because the temperature had already dropped down to about 3˙C.
...
10 days left till Christmas and we STILL haven't got our tree up but the Christmas markets are up and running. We brought Little L to the Carousel and watched her go round... and round... and around. Happy and resistant to the effects of dizziness, she kept wanting to keep going round and round... and around.
Even the simplest things in life can be oh so fun.
Stalls littered the area selling various items from puppets, warm wine, beer and trinkets. One booth sold what looked like shades of boobs on a stick and sugar coated nuts; in all shapes and sizes.
Even Cheese. I had to try the melted Cheese on bread. And for a whopping 4 Euro a slice, i had no problem licking the grease off the paper to get my moneys' worth. Bring it on!
But i was freezing my tits off by the end of it all and my fingers were icy cold despite wearing gloves. The air felt like it had hit the minus degrees and my body was starting to become numb.
...
And to add to our list of outings we went to the Aquazoo. Although no where near as cool as Singapore's Sentosa Underwater World. Aquazoo had various aquariums, even monkeys and a walk through mini controlled rain forest with crocodiles sitting below the bridge.
We managed to stretch the afternoon by checking out each animal. We succeeded in entertaining the Little One and hoped that she wouldn't be bored. BUT we were prepared and brought along a bag filled with various snacks, fruit, home-made little sandwiches and water; for all stages of hunger.

Tell me about it, i catch myself thinking the same thing! But yea, i always get nervous when i'm left alone with her. It only gets a bit out of control when she acts silly and insists she knows better. But the language barrier is not AS bad although sometimes i need translations.
But my gawd, i totally feel for all mothers who have little ones. They ARE a handful! And you have TWO!
WooOoooh... kudos to YOU!
