*sniff*

I just got the best birthday card from my parents - too bad I can't find a boat just like that here in Saarbrücken, but at least I think I can get an allotment here by the river and have a canoe (it's a Canadian thing ;-) and a dog.
Last night, I priced out furniture, appliances and other sundries to set up an apartment (a different scale of stuff than a boat!) Today I am going to look at a couple more rooms and then decide where to live for the next year or so. I can't wait to move out of the youth hostel and start work!

btw - has anyone seen my sock?

a lonely striped sock ...
