Schreinerstraße - Oranienstrasse - NGBK - Kreuzburger

since this picture was taken this morning Alice has had a new hair do that makes her look a bit like Iris Murdoch. When I say 'had a new hair do' what I actually mean is I have given her a new hair do. Tiny moving target. Rudy has also had a new hair cut - is it normal to say 'a new hair cut'? how can one have an old haircut? Would it be better just to say 'had a haircut'

Friseur.

That's the word for hairdresser in German.

So today, aside from the bountiful haircuts, we met up with my old pal Niels. He is a friend from years and years ago and we meet every five years or so. He is lovely and magic. - last time I saw him was when we came to Berlin when Rudy was a few months old - so plenty to catch up about and not nearly enough time - well plenty enough time if there had been no kids. But, you know, there were kids. And one poorly kid - Rudy has not felt great for today and the latter part of yesterday. I think he has picked up a wee bug - or perhaps just the heat (that's him under the purple and green blanket on the couch). Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Kreuzburger - now that's a good name for a burger place in Kreuzberg. And good burgers too.
