Wow, another year ...! Anyway, time to update my life! ;) What happened in the mean time?
When I look at my picture collection I have to admit, I stopped taking pics last year. Let's do finish the last year then. I know it is a bit late for that, but better late then never! ;)

Yes, even my sweet housemate Mucki is getting older once every year. We had a lovely dinner with live music. (Sorry, forgot the name of the restaurant, but it is in WestEnd ;) ).

Alini and Mucki, really good friends. This brasilian girl is not only turning his head!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Xmas time means cookie time and it was always soooo much fun when we were kids. Angi and me, we did a big session of cookie-baking. Does that looks like fun?

More like proper german engineer-perfectionism, hihi. No, it was fun. Who can say in Germany to have ever baked cookies in shorts and flip-flops! :D

Mmmmmmmhhhhhh, can u smell it? They were the best cookies at the SIMBA-Xmas party. Thanks to my great-grannies recipe!


Here another good evening with Rob & Friends! This evening we had a nice dinner at an Indian restaurant (too much as usual) and then we went to a pub on the top of this 3 or 4 level building at South Bank. Nice view and nice music!

Here I present a more not-welcome guest in my room. But what can I do?
I don't kill animals and this one I don't even like to touch. So, I slept several nights with lights on. Since then, I haven't seen this spider again. But I think it lives normally in our garage. Yeah, that's Australia.

Angi had Chrisi over here for a couple of days. Chrisi is doing her Thesis down in Melbourne. We became quite good friends and we spent some time together. Here some impressions.

Maybe finally this pic, I like it. I still have my arm put in this kind of bandage, after the 'accident' I had with my bike last December. The pic is taken at Aleks' xmas party.

So, but we have February already. As I said, I have no pictures from the last two months, so what kind of nonsense did I do? I actually changed offices at the IMB. I joined the biologists on level 4N (N stands for North). It is a bit more social there, but my boss is just next door. Will this turn into more efficiency? We will see. :) But my desk space got reduced by the factor 2. But as long as I have my computer, I am happy.
I started to do some swimming, after I quit KungFu. I try to go to the open pool on our campus at least twice a week. I am up to 26 lanes already (1.3km). Yeah, I am proud of myself (a little bit at least!). I am back on my bike again and now it is more suffering than me. I manage the Burbong Street without getting off my bike. If you see the street, u knew what I mean. And I can manage the weather. We have summer, but it is not really hot. What are 27°C? This exist in Europe as well, is just the humidity which is a bit annoying, but when u drink enough water u can survive!
Almost one year is done of my PhD here. Next deadline is the confirmation around May. I am already scared of this writing again, but I have no other choice....

Ok, I really try to keep u more up-to-date, but ... u know. Have a great time, take care of urself and see u soon! ;)

Big kiss for someone special :*
