In a situation many on here may not be familiar with, our past couple of weeks have been largely determined by the need to help an elderly ladyfriend who's showing first signs of dementia sort out her home and financial affairs - all this from a distance of some 600 km. Last week, we spent three days on site, cleaning out her place, yesterday a small truckload of her stuff was delivered to our home for temporary storage, and this coming weekend, we'll be moving herself to a nursing home near us here in Berlin. It's been stressful, and on top of my continued unhappy and depressing work situation.
Oh well, tonight, with a half a bottle of Riesling in my tummy, Rossini's overture's providing a pleasantly lilting soundtrack, and a fireplace DVD simulating cozy warmth, and last not least the lovely people of SG, life appears almost bearable ;-)
