Uh. Barely arrived & somewhat revived, bags still unpacked & I'm already packing again, albeit only a small bag this time. So much for holiday...
Night-train to Bonn to see the exhibition about Thracian Art, perhaps a mini-trip to Köln, back Thu. morning.
The last two weeks were nice & very relaxing, a couple of hiking tours, a day in Munich to see the Bunte Götter exhibition, Edward II in Salzburg (so-so), not doing much of anything & enjoying it, no distracting tv or internet; read TM's Joseph und seine Brüder, and found when my sister arrived, that after 1600+ pages of TM's prose while barely talking to anyone for more than a week one's sentences tend to get a little... out of control Mann-esque. Especially, but not only, when the conversation drifts towards deeper and/or psychological subjects...
Yesterday, depressed & tired without any reasonable cause. Except, perhaps, missing the mountains...
Today it felt like autumn for the first time, despite the warmth...
THANK YOU!!!

Thank you. Really.
It means a lot. *sniffles*
