Hey people,
It's been a while, hasn't it? And, as I write this, having just burnt the roof of my mouth with pizza fresh out the oven, there isn't too much to tell....
Tuesday evening and I saw my boyfriend leave for London again after his second visit in less than a month. Always a sad moment, but we enjoyed a good weekend - Going for lovely walks and visiting a swimming baths on Friday night.
The baths, I will say, were, well, an experience. Obviously, a great, romantic one when it came to us and spending quality time together. I hadn't been to a proper swimming baths in about ten years. So, I think I forgot how they worked ;) . Either that, or I wasn't quite ready to be faced with - a building full of bollock naked Germans - men and women. It took a minute or two to get used to it, but then I was stripping off too and strutting around the place naked like the rest of them.
I'd never been in a sauna before, especially a sweltering hot Finnish one.
85-90 degrees celsius in that place! I was astounded by the fact that I managed to stop in there for more than 5 minutes.
Eventually, when the member of staff came into the furnace to do the hourly pouring/tasting or something (I forget what it's called in English and German), but anyway, it was time for me to leave. The pouring of the liquid onto the stones produces an intense heat that I couldn't deal with. We left.
And, I never thought I'd enjoy a cold shower! I also didn't think I'd go for a dip in the outdoor pool on day when it was raining outside. But, guess what! That wasn't too bad either.
Of course, I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I didn't quite enjoy the part when a fellow 'gay' thought we'd wanna 'get excited' with him, at one point. He touched his thing until it was...well, you know. No we weren't scared, or even freaked out - just surprised, really. We left that room, as I'm sure you can imagine. And, there was me thinking that we do a good enough job of 'gaying up' the places we visit ourselves!
All the Brits decided to go to Prague the weekend just gone. Apart from Katy who returned to Scotland for the weekend and Frazier (He's American though) who visited London for the weekend - but still, it's not Hamburg, is it? So, I didn't really have anyone to party with. But, if you know me, that didn't stop me.
There's a nice, friendly bar at the top of Hans-Albers Platz. Of course, everyone was friendly on the night I wasn't in the mood to chat to everyone. Maybe, I wasn't drunk enough. ;)
We ended up there after checking in on the 'Winterdom'. A fair which will be going on in Hamburg until early December. I only went on one ride, so I vow to go back there a finish the job off.
So, Saturday night there was a protest in the Schanze, and we diverted through there to take a look. But, after a small, but somewhat loud explosion, we sort of scarpered.
I bumped into Joel and Bastian, along with Bastian's other friends later on the Reeperbahn, anyway. Saying that though, I wasn't with them for long. And, to be honest, I don't really have that much in the wallet these days anyway.
Boring but vital: I must find somewhere to live and I must do it fast. It started to put me into one of my 'I hate life moans' on Sunday morning - The hangover didn't help either. I was told to just keep looking, and eventually, I'll find something that suits. We did actually go to a viewing somewhere on Saturday. A half-decent room in a two bedroom flat, sharing with a youngish Frau who's into her jellyfish - awww. Anyway, I just couldn't see myself living there/with her really. Even though, the room was all right and stuff but, I dunno...I...yeah, I dunno. Plus, she hasn't really replied to me either so I'm guessing she's thinking 'piss off' too
It's not that there's nothing in Hamburg, a city with 1.7 million people. But, everything just seems to have a crazily high priced Kaution/deposit whacked onto the price, or it's too far, or they don't want you. I dunno, I'll just keep looking and keep you posted, OK? I've got until Dec 1st...
I was told that the words 'yeah, but...' are frequently articulated by me. Really? Never really noticed it myself. Oh well, anyway, that's me along with half the young population of Britain. Where do you think they came up with Vicky Pollard's 'yeah but, no but' from....?
Moving onto my last bit of business this side of the Channel. And, I was told that I'd be TEACHING classes of nine year olds ALONE! Perhaps until Christmas.
Their regular English teacher whom I normally work alongside, has fallen ill. They're short-staffed as it is. So, even though I'm not supposed to be doing it according to the people who run the scheme, the kids aren't that bad. I'm glad to help the teachers out and there isn't too much pressure on me really. Plus, I'm sort of looking forward to it.
I did the first lesson on my own just six hours ago. It went swimmingly. One thing though - I should have planned a bit more work - hahaha. Can't have them just sitting back, now, can we!?
Before I go tonight, I'll just say that I've been watching live BBC coverage of this engagement announcement which has been made today. Yeah, when something 'big' happens over there, they allow to watch their news coverage from abroad. I'm happy for them and whatever. Hope it lasts and whatever! It should be a good party in London when it happens. Anything excuse for a booze-up in the streets, yeah? I just hope she 'behaves' herself and they don't order a little 'accident' for her to be involved in. I say that, but I'm actually a little monarchist really. Weird!
I like the way the BBC media folks are saying, 'for the rest of her life,' and 'she will be Queen.' Don't they know that divorce rates are higher than ever these days and that times have changed? They still sound so out-of-date.
Does Camilla Parker Bowles know how stupid she sounded saying 'it's wicked' after the reporter approached her in the street. I didn't know how much of a plum in her throat she had. I rarely hear her speak. I think, even the Queen sounds more 'in tune' these days. I like to hear the Queen saying 'it's wicked' and Parker Bowles sticking to 'it's brilliant' - Only!
...Switch back to German TV and we have a young man looking down telling his cock to only react in 'the good way' when it sees hot women, as opposed to hot men. LOL - German TV: It's classic sometimes! When it comes to the royal engagement - They ain't too bothered. Well, the 'serious channels' ones aren't really, anyway.
People, until next time!
