how can i fill the gap between today and my last posting with a few words?

trip from hamburg to hannover: getting up 5:30 in the morning driving by car to the airport of expo-city hannover. claudia and her wonderful boy-friend tibor were lucky to get a flight towards gomera from there. tickets from hamburg were sold out.

returning to the places where i spent about 4 years as student is strange. i never liked hannover the way i like vienna today. however, i met a crowd of nice people there. some of them became good friends and they are still.

i am visiting sabine and peter who are an incredible couple, just as they are incredible hosts, have incredibly good taste and easy way of living. not to mention their beautiful flat with wallpaintings done by a french gay couple staying at their place for a while. too many superb impressions to condense in some quickly written sentences...

it was new year's eve, and the first thing i did after a very warm welcome was putting on a stick mozarella and tomato pieces together with a leaf of basilicum – helping to prepare the finger food for the big delicious brunch and the lot of their friends.

this time i even got into some nice talks with some of the guests. probably they knew me from former visits, probably i was in a better mood this time. i am not always open for social relations. peter's lovely sister was my favorite chat person, though.

i stayed for three days and we took a lot of walks due to the nice, especially warm weather. we went to kestner museum to see fabrizio plessi's "l'anima della materia": the hanging forest.

the only bad surprise during that divine time was the sacher cake i brought along from vienna: it was way too dry to enjoy (back in vienna i have to check a newly bought one for freshness).

i am back at my parents house and i will have to do some work - but i did not... :(
