Horse Chestnut

It was a bit of a surprise to take this today. What with it being all sunny and bright and lovely flowery. I got up this morning to be faced with mist, not Mist auf Deutsch, which means something along the lines of "botheration", but rather a pretty heavy fog.

Which turned to pretty heavy rain as I walked out of the house. And stayed as pretty heavy rain until just before I went home, when the sun came out and made my walk home rather lovely. All fresh after-the-rain smells.

A day of several moods for me. In the morning I was on top of everything, getting stuff done and feeling good. Then came a meeting in the afternoon. I had been dreading this meeting as both my colleagues are away on holiday.

The reason I was dreading it, was because we were putting together a plan and I just knew that there would be a string of questions that would come my way and with the best will in the world, my German just isn't up to ferocious questioning. I can answer a lot of questions, but I knew this was going to be too technical for me to explain. However. I had prepared my project leader and that saved the day. If he hadn't known what we were doing, I'd probably still be in tears somewhere.

So, having survived that. I went back to my office where I found an Email. A "Hilfe Hilfe" from a colleague. It was a very tricky little problem, that had me perplexed for a good hour. A very therapeutic-forget-about-the-meeting hour. Full on problem solving. Which had a very satisfying "Thank you, the problem is gone" Email at the end. That felt good.

And now The Song Bit. Yesterday was U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and today you get this:-

Du schließt nicht mehr deine Augen, wenn ich deine Lippen küsse
Und es ist keine Zärtlichkeit mehr wie früher in deinen Fingern
Du versucht sehr es dir nicht anmerken zu lassen
Aber baby, baby ich weiß es
