Slow Saturday

Saturday was SUPER mellow.  I spent quite a bit of time finishing my book, "Unsheltered" by Barbara Kingsolver.  I liked it.  Didn't love it but that might be because I never had time to get into it.  I started it last June before we left for Seattle and just couldn't find the time to read.  I rode my bike to the drink shop for a refill of beer.  11 bottles (.51 liters each,  so 17+ oz) for

10 Euro.  Pretty good.  Alcohol in all forms is SO inexpensive here.   I like just browsing around although I really wish they had more of a selection of IPA beer or craft beer.  It is 98% Pilsner and Wheat Beer/Hefeweisen.

Marty worked on a video for the radio station and the kids came up with the idea to create their own board game.  They are also really into show tunes right now.  Work station..

In the early afternoon we decide to walk to the hardware store because we are in need of some yard tools.  Even though our yard is cluttered with construction material right now it is also in

desperate need of some major hours spent cleaning it up.  It is hard to even see our yard as a yard right now given the amount of construction junk everywhere.
After the hardware store everyone realizes that no one ate lunch and it is around 4PM.  We decide to take the bus the opposite direction and go to one of our favorite Indian restaurants called Nirwana.  Yes, Nirvana with a "W" because Germans pronounce "W's"likes "V's" They know us there and are always so welcoming.
Only in Berlin would you see people riding public transportation with a shovel and a rake and a dog.. haha!!  Doesn't even seem weird here.
