Merry Christmas!

Hope you have at least as much fun as Rudolph! :)

Growing Tomatoes

This year was a tomato year. Out of 20 seeds I got 17 (!) plants. I started sowing them on the 6th of February, only 3 days later, 2 plants were showing their heads… And it continued in this pace, until all 17 were out within less than 3 weeks. They were first occupying the window board, and then later, when having been replanted an entire room, which we then called our little greenhouse. We had to close the door, because otherwise the smell of soil would have floated through the entire flat.

9 plants moved to a good home and made friends and family happy, 8 of them stayed on our balcony. Our plants had a hard time, they almost died of drought in June while we were away for week… Amazing that we still got a really decent amount of fruit!

Anyway, this is their story in pictures. By now they are probably compost. Tomatoes R.I.P.

Christmas Market Berlin Charlottenburg

Last weekend I went to visit my best friend who now lives in Berlin. On Saturday we went to the Christmas Market at Berlin Charlottenburg. A proper Christmas Market with lots of stalls of local handicraft, something that I didn’t enjoy for quite some years! Proper Glühwein (mulled wine) and fresh waffles with hot cherries included :) .

A special building site?

“Porr” means “porn” in Swedish, and “Baustelle” is German for “building site”… Now you probably get why I had to take this pic.

 

 

 

Mark my words!

These words were most tweeted by me. At least if one believes Year in Status.

Swedish Planes for Suisse Airforce – and what it might mean ;)
