Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

I live at number 5....

What is new at number 5?


Miss Kimbers went shopping at Aldi and bought all of this stuff for just 7 Euro. All this stuff should last for a week...SHOULD....

Samba is probably better than Nutella...and crunchy. Well, for 5 Euro something=9.91009 AUD, you'd want it to taste good. It's 'BIO', or as we say in Australia 'organic'. Germans are relaly into the whole 'bio' thing...there are 'bio' supermarkets everywhere.


I can't eat the BIO porridge anymore. It has all kinds of seeds mixed in with it and it tastes so...'bird food-y-ish'? Today, I ate 3 spoonfuls of porridge and had to throw it in the bin...and then I ended up eating Samba and Pfluemli (plum jam) on bread

Uni:
I was late for class yesterday.

Today, I had a 45 minute class. I talked to one person, who said he had friends from Australia, from Adelaide. And then I said that was where I am from. Then he said he once had a girlfriend from Mt Barker, and asked me if I knew Mt Barker and I said 'Yes' and then he was like 'Woah...'

I write emails to teachers, and they never write back....

Tomorrow, I have 2 classes.

Thursday and Friday, I have free

Weather
It snowed yesterday. I woke up and everything was white. I woke up today and there was no snow *HAPPY*

I'm going to Duesseldorf on Thursday to see what Karneval is, to learn about GERMAN CULTURE (hey, I have been sitting in the kitchen a lot, trying to be German...and I even bought little tissues...). I'm stopping in Koeln, so I might see what is happening there. I have no idea what Karneval is. All I know is, people dress up and...I don't know...walk around? At the moment there are all kids of costumes in the shops for Karneval. However, I'm in money saving mode and will not purchase a custome.

In Adelaide, we only have a Christmas parade. It's the biggest of it's type in the southern hemisphere ooooo ahhhhh. In Sydney, there is a big parade for those who...bat for the other team. We also have parades for those who fought in wars.

In the Rhineland festivities developed especially strongly, since it was a way to express subversive anti-Prussian and anti-French thoughts in times of occupation, through parody and mockery

O....k....

Carnival Thursday is called "Altweiber" (old women) in Düsseldorf or "Wieverfastelovend" (The women's day) in Cologne, in many places Carnival-"fools" take over city halls or municipal government, "wild" women cut men's ties wherever they get hold of them.

On Sunday I lost my teenager-hood. I also lost my voice. I don't know if it was from smoke or talking to loud...but my voice decided to go on holiday. It arrived back yesterday But now I'm a bit sick

Anyway, the birthday....I didn't have a party. I couldn't be bothered organising a party. So, as usual we went for lunch at my grandma's house.

After lunch, I asked my dad if he wanted to go for a walk up a hill. He said no, because it makes him too tired. So, I went by myself. It took me only 12 minutes to get to the top; no pauses! It used to take me mroe than 30 minutes!

Then, my sister and her 'friend' went for another walk with me in the evening. They must have felt sorry for me. I think my hobby is walking up hills. My dad thinks I should go in a walking competition


View from half way up the hill


We took walkie talkies with us. We discovered that you can hear other people and talk to other people. We talked to a guy named Troy.

Then we went to McDonalds because I wanted to have an icecream. And because I can afford to eat icecream at McDonalds; $0.50/icecream


No, we didn't buy one for the Hoff. Yes, we were too lazy to get out of the car, so we got drive-through


Eating the icecream in the car, in the car park. Is that bogan?

Then we went home and I did my assignment....and my auntie and uncle visited me.


But today was better than my birthday! Because, I got some mail from Germany, from my favourite German No one else got me such a nice present.... This parcel was a very special for Intersheep....because....


Intersheep's SISTER was inside!


Now I have three sheep in my flock I must have shown signs of being a good shepherd, and so that's why I have another sheep


This little sheep was very hungry and the first thing she did was run to the fridge...


Then she grabbed a spoon and ate lots of icecream. Next time, I'll just buy chocolate...


Today's German Lesson:
In today's lesson, we will learn some ingredients commonly used in 'Du bist ein Engel' German chocolate bars:


Vollmilch-Schokolade = full milk chocolate = milk chocolate
Zutaten = ingredients
Zucker = sugar
Kakaobutter = cocoa butter
Vollmilchpulver= full milk powder
Kakaomasse = cocoa mass
Suessmolkenpulver= I have no idea about what the English is. Sweet whey powder?
Milchzucker= lactose...milk sugar
Emulgator = emulsifying agent
Aroma: natuerliche Vanille= flavour: natural vanilla

Kann Spuren von Nuessen und Erdnuesen enthalten = May contain traces of nuts and peanuts.
(German people, please explain Erdnuessen and Nuessen )

Now you should be able to understand some German chocolate bar wrappers

And now it's time for me to go to sleep.
