Graffiti update...

When I got of the tram this morning... It was gone! Stupid city. Well, back to boring tram stops!

Graffiti

Getting of the tram this morning I was greeted by this (in my opinion) amazing graffiti. How they artist managed it without getting caught is beyond me but I'm glad they managed cos the tram stops here are not the most beautiful places to be - now at least I have something to look at.

 

Summer is here...

Summer really has arrived in Stuttgart, at least the weather says so. It's warm everyday and even If the sun isn't shining, it's nice enough to sit outside without a jacket. I love it. But I'm sure it won't be long till I start complaining that it's far too hot! Let's enjoy it now while it's still bearable!
Last week a friend came to stay and we went for a walk around Stuttgart picking elderflower to make cordial. We found soo much! Im not Even sure if we're allowed to pick it but no one stopped us or said anything so we carried on!
The recipe is so easy, I'll post it later for you all to try. Just remember, it cordial so don't be shocked with the amount of sugar that goes in!! I know I was.
Last night I was invited to a BBQ and as my 'bring something' I took a small bottle of cordial with me. It was an absolute hit! The best way to drink it is with sparkling wine, ice and mint leaves. Unfortunately we didn't have any ice or mint but it tasted great even without it!!

Have a great Monday everyone!

New iPhone!!

I'm sorry but i gave in to the new 'thing'! And after waiting for what seemed like forever- my iPhone finally arrived! Now I can post 'on the go'!! I have no idea how this all works but I guess that's the fun of it all.
See? I can even add photos! This is the view from my desk at home, beautiful! It however does tend to be far more interesting then what I'm supposed to be learning for school.

BBQ season has started

It hard to believe but at the moment the temperature here in Stuttgart is ranging between 16 and 20 degrees, and this is only March! Last week I was at school, which means that sometimes I'm finished at 1 o'clock! I tried to get out as much as possible but with so much to learn for tests etc, I didn't really get the chance to just go and sit in the park. However yesterday we went to Schlosspark to have a BBQ. It was such a lovely day, and everyone and his dog was there to grill and have fun.

I hope you're all enjoying this wonderful weather!

When the Sun shines...

...it makes me happy.

And makes me want to clean.
I'm not sure where Winter went
but about a month ago, it just disappeared
and spring rolled in. Its the best feeling in the world.
I suddenly had the urge to make sure the flat was totally finished,
that meant no more boxes hidden behind mess,
getting rid of all the rubbish on the balcony
and buying a bin.

Changes

I'm changing this blog a little bit, I hope it will make it more interesting for you readers, I'm also hoping its going to increase my motivation to actually continue writing.
I've been a bit lazy over the last year, but to be fair I have been working a lot and just recently I've had my yearly bout of winter blues, but hopefully now with the promise of spring and some fantastic weather, things will become easier to manage again.

P and I moved at the end of last year, from a tiny, freezing cold, ground floor flat to a 5th floor luxury apartment (at least it feels that way), with fantastic views over Stuttgart South, central heating and an open living room. Its amazing.

The best view in the house is, in my opinion, the one out of my office window. It looks out over the roofs of the neighbours house onto a small square with a fairly impressive tower, which is floodlit at night.

Well lets get this show on the road...
