Fortuitous midweek thanksgiving


  • impetuously lovely, unplanned Friday night supper at a restaurant so nice they could only squeeze us in at a poky table next to the bar (which was still delightful!)

  • the company of a wonderfully unrestrained friend (S!) who dances without a care

  • dinners the definition of gemütlich (a German word connoting cosiness, similar to the Dutch gezellig, but also something more: a lack of haste, a sense of belonging, a contentment deep at heart) with my neighbours

  • little parcels from my sweet aunt (thank you Jane!)

  • hemming tape!

  • rainy days

  • an Austrian guest speaker with an accent reminiscent of dear Christl’s (such lovely, elongated vowels…)

  • last week’s singular day of glorious sunshine

  • green tea with lemon

  • lemon and ginger tea

  • phone calls with my one true Regensburg love: P.

  • excitement for forthcoming German adventure!

  • gorgeous topaz sunset on a Sunday afternoon

  • avocado on toast

  • dancing with W.

  • sunset watching with my sweet flatmate

  • the tranquility of the brightly lit library on a Monday morning at ten past nine

Addendum: I’ve got my four limbs!
