Dinner

Today I had nothing pressing when I got up, so I shopped for groceries on my way to ZiB. Much of my route was on wide, tree-lined streets of large individual houses with an ambiance of tasteful, unostentatious, but obvious wealth. This one - thanks to the car - stood out even more though.

I worked steadily through the day, clearing a couple of issues and engaging with a couple of users. At the end of the afternoon I went out to stretch my legs, before a final hour's work, and the walk back to my apartment. 

There I had a quick shower, before heading out for the course dinner - up the Berlin TV tower. As can happen, I was at the end of a table, sitting next to a masters student who wanted to ask me everything about everything, drowning out the quiet Lithuanian opposite whom I'd taught in Edinburgh, and has just started doing a PhD here. Fortunately I have folk to catch up with at a beer garden, so I left the moment I'd finished my dessert!
