Today is St. Nikolaus day in Germany and my manager, being German too, brought in some treats from home. It's amazing how much more I appreciate things from home, now that I live abroad. I am a little cautious though not to try and force my culture on anybody here as I came her to live in England and do as the English do. Today it seemed that everybody was happy with that particular bit of German culture though. Sweets are international.
Not a whole lot has been going on here. I went on my trip and had a really great time. Especially since I went to some places I'd have never been to:
Saint Paul de Vence:
Ventimiglia:
Monaco:
Galway was basically about catching up with my friends, relaxing and party! I didn't take any photos as I always think I probably have most of them multiple times already, as I have been there a lot.
I picked up an NME for the first time in ages and discovered Warpaint through that. Best timing ever as it was only a few weeks until their gig at Brighton Digital. I promptly bought the album and a ticket and have had a bit of a crush on Emily Kokal ever since I went...
The last and most recent highlight was something SG related though. At least in a way... as I purchased some art from one of my all-time favourite SG's and SG friends Kikka!
So here's some special thanks. I will have to get a frame for this soon and then it will find a nice place on my kitchen wall. There really is something special about snail mail in the digital age.

I lieeebe Snailmail!! Bist du in der PenPal Group? Willst du mein Pen Pal sein? (Ich schreibe schön und habe tolles Briefpapier!!)
Ich mag die Weihnachtszeit auch lieber ruhig. Habe 90% meiner Geschenke a) im Oktober und b) im Internet (meistens a+b) bestellt. Ich hasse Weihnachtsmärkte. Grade im Ruhrgebiet sind die immer voll mit besoffenen Assis.
Hast du irgendwas zu Nikolaus bekommen? Ich habe (nachdem ich auch nur ganz unauffällig 400 Mal gesagt habe, dass ich mir das wünsche) vom Viech einen Kinderschokolade Nikolaus bekommen (der ist wie ein Überraschungsei! Nur ohne Überraschung. Aber ich liebe die Schokolade vom Überraschungsei - die dünne weiße und braune Schoki übereinander - aber ich bin immer zu geizig für die Eier). 
Und von meinen Eltern einen "seriösen" Kalender. Ich kann nicht mehr auf Konferenzen auftauchen und meinen rosafarbenen glitzernden Kalender rausholen. Das wirkt unprofessionell.

I'm not happy unless I'm getting something done. I get soooooo miserable when I'm sick because I can't do anything.
And thanks for the complement.

Definitely not staying in my room. St. Patty's day karaoke is on the agenda for tonight.

Hey, thanks for dropping by! I had a very dramatic birthday but it ended up with a fabulous night out with the girls so all was not lost!
I haven't been updating my blog as much as I'd like but I will work harder to do it in the future.
I hope that you're well, keeping busy and most of all that you're happy
xx

Für mich wird es definitiv Zeit zu gehen.

Sorry, es sind recht viele in der letzten Zeit weitergezogen.
Die "recent activity" sidebar hat mir gesagt, du hättest dein Profil überarbeitet und dein Account läuft bald aus. 
Bei mir ein wenig Streß, aber ansonsten alles klar.
