Totally against the rules (a post with NO PIC!)

Why, you'd ask, have I been so silent? Well, I was busy-busy-busy commuting to my new workplace and back, being all excited about my new job, preparing to move, buying furniture, desperately trying to have everything delivered before we move in etc.

Well, some of these things worked out just fine, some didn't.


Here are the facts - no pics, just the naked truth :)

1. We're in! All of us  - and that includes Frau Müller The Cat who's running around like crazy - she's never been in a place that big!

2. 120 square meters! I need like an hour to get from the bedroom to the bathroom!

3. The floors are FANTASTIC! Unfortunately, they're very sensitive, too.

4. The kitchen is IN! It's a very simple IKEA one - although I decided to invest a bit into good appliances. Will show it as soon as it dries (had to take care of the worktops).

5. We've still got no fridge! It'll hopefully arrive during the week. Can't see Chinese and Lebanese food any longer.  

6. Happy happy happy, can't wait for the holidays to begin so I can invest all my energy in the place.

7. We're having a housewarming party on Saturday. You're all welcome! 

Autumn is almost there...

I guess this is the reason my beloved GUESS sunglasses broke today. Right, who needs sunglasses in autumn? Apart from Miss Mayer who once managed to drive on red after she had left her sunglasses on a rather turbulent London trip (yes, she was immediately *blitzed* but the letter never arrived, he he) and who tends to get partly blind in direct sunlight? Right, absolutely noone!

Well, I was rewarded for that loss with two l-o-v-e-l-y things in the mail today.

N 1, Der Impressionen Katalog.

As usual, it's full of inspiration  - and it makes me all giggly that I got this gorgeous shelf 40 euros cheaper than the list price (minus shipping, too, thx to my HH-connection!)

As there's not that much space in my bathroom right now, I'm going to use this lovely item as a book/folder shelf in my one and only room (have I mentioned there was just enough space here to fit one stressed Miss Mayer and one relaxed Miss Müller The Cat?)

Where's number two, my non-existent readers will ask... Well, I can't hold it any longer - I finally possess an INCREDIBLE Canon Eos 1000D. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to take acceptable pictures? Post them here? Get famous? Let's wait and see and make getting a memory card for my new toy the first step.

Images: Impressionen

I wonder why

pictures can make one so happy... That's nothing new though: I'm addicted to design mags. Pics, pics, pics, all getting my fantasy organ working.
What is new is that now I am the happy owner of three (!!!) hot subscriptions. Wow. It all went so fast... Many thanks to a very special person who's partly guilty of the above.

And: probably later this week there'll be very special pics right here, on this modest blog (so that my modest non-existent readers have something to be looking forward to) as I've finally purchased another much desired object. Yes, I can! (or will be able to)
