Good weird: 5 things about holidays, 8.8.2016

8 August 20163 June 2017 woollythinkerLeave a comment

1. "Erholung" – recovery – is one of the best German words. Actually, it's not the word so much as how it is used. Because "Erholung" also means recreation, and is most often heard in the phrase "Gute Erholung", which doesn't mean "get well soon" but rather, "have a good holiday". It's a word that… Continue reading Good weird: 5 things about holidays, 8.8.2016

Did you have a lovely chocolatey weekend? Us too! Do you feel at least four times better after a four-day break? Me too! Was it lovely and springtimey? HERE NEITHER. In fact, it snowed.

Vive la difference?

As Max grows, there are a whole new set of comparisons to draw   against Claudia. The one giving us grey hairs right now is that, while she was a demanding infant but super-sweet, biddable, careful toddler, he's... not.
