I thought I had posted this here, but I think I only posted it somewhere else. Giant inflatable Lindt bunny in the local shopping centre.
The big news is that we have booked the movers and cleaners. We will be moving on June 23, and - drum roll - moving into our new place instead of temporary accommodation. Very grateful to the managers of the current place for letting us extend yet again, which means we'll still be here during my exams. I was dreading having to move out to somewhere as yet undefined before and after them.
We've been enjoying walking down by the river when the weather is in any way good - strange that we didn't do it every day, but that's what leaving a place does, it makes you appreciate it. You can just about make out a heron in the two pics below - by the bank in the first one and stood on the rock poised to strike in the second. I keep forgetting that the camera doesn't see things as up close as I do.
Queen London. Britain is still cool, it seems.
Ad for Swiss caramels, featuring a buff man with a calf chewing his pocket. Not sure how I'm supposed to respond. The slogan translates as "hard or soft?" which doesn't help. Himself's office has the soft ones and he assures me they're the dairy version of crack cocaine.
We headed out by the river again today, picking up some fresh eggs on the way. No duck eggs this time, unfortunately. But we did see two sunbathing lizards, as well as a finch singing its tiny heart out.
When we were nearly back, we noticed the "Imbiss offen" sign on a little patch of unused land that is currently hosting some crates doubling as little allotment gardens. Himself decided we should support the locals so we went in and bought some overpriced Coke Zero and apple juice with fizzy water, but worth it to sit in the sun and enjoy the view.
