Strange to be an immigrant. Most of the time I understand everything that's going on, and then someone hits me with a complicated separable verb...then I'm scunnered again.
I've registered with the authorities (which you have to do here), joined the library, found lots of work, finally after 2 WHOLE MONTHS got my tax number, and arranged for the final move from Scotland. Furniture, cats...

Just back for a few days folks - I haven't got an internet connection yet in Germany and don't really think I can get away with looking up this site at work 
.
Otherwise things are fine! The new flat is lovely, I now have a bed and some plates and so can live with a modicum of civilisation. Music is provided by a borrowed...

I'm back...but not for long! Looks like we have found a flat in Munich, I just have to sign the contract and hand over the s (or Euros) and then we are sorted!
We're going to be living in this bit of town:

It's a lovely flat with a wee terrace that the cats can run about on, and handy for the train line...

Soooo long since I last stopped by. Must have been before I went travelling that I last looked in on your jounal. I've missed it all haven't I. 
New home, new job, new surroundings (sort of, as you've been there so often) That's excellent!
I met a German woman whilst travelling who is back in Berlin now - she hates her old life and wants to be somewhere else, and so do I. I almost feel as though I don't belong here anymore.
Good luck in your new life; I'm pleased for you.
Are you still going to be on SG?

I am back online. My old computer died a week ago, but the nice guys at the repair shop fixed me up a new one and stuck my old hard drive in as well, so I haven't lost any data! Not that several years worth of essays in sundry subjects would be missed by anyone, but my pics and music are all there too. I...

I'm doing peachy at the moment. Working and trying not to spend too many pennies. I have been ordered by the boyfriend to try to save some money for going on holiday to Paris... I just find it too damn hard 
Just back from Caithness...thank the gods for Loganair, for otherwise a nice 1 hour plane journey (with a wee dram) would be replaced by a 8 hour misery marathon courtesy of Scotrail, who seem to have some conscientious objection to cleaning the filthy stinking lavvies 
on their snail-slow overheated trains. Fuck the carbon footprint. As soon as I get my driving licence I will be...

Awesome new hair colour mrs. Very pretty 
Aaah what an exciting housewifely existence I have. Pot of soup on the stove, yoghurt in the yoghurt maker, washing machine loaded up for tomorrow and a new settee coming in the morning. These, I am afraid, are currently the highlights of my life...

Wouldn't it be enough to have a rubber band tied between wrist and bottle neck? 
P.S.: About being found out: Can you please tell Tsui how you got me here! LOL! One does not have to be a member to get in trouble because of SG...

We just got back from Germany yesterday. I am still knackered but boy did we have a good time! Cologne, Berlin and Aachen in 5 non stop whizzing about beer drinking days. We even caught up with the lovely CuriousTomcat for a coffee or two.
Taffboy hates clowns. HATES HATES HATES and FEARS them. However in Nordrhein-Westfalen, which is where we were for 3 days...

Beer drinking days are my fav!!!
Off to Germany next week. Yippee! Cologne, Aachen and Berlin beckon. Hopefully I won't lose my voice this time and have to be poked about by foreign doctors with beards.
As I was once married to a very dashing Captain Kirk lookalike, I thought you might enjoy these clips. Fortunately my ex has not degenerated to the toupee and corset wearing stage as yet.
