back to Berlin

Finally back in Berlin after the school holidays. Everyone trying to adapt to the big city and regular schedule again. I noticed that’s it’s getting harder and harder to get back to the big busy city after spending time in the countryside. Everything in Berlin is so busy and hectic and especially peopley.

Dinner at L’s

Nice catch-up dinner at my dear friends L. We hadn’t seen each other for the holidays and a meeting was long overdue. Very delicious food as always 🙂

Hacker Stammtisch

Due to communication breakdown only two of the nerds showed up. Nevertheless a good evening with nerdy conversations at the Pratergarten.

Freestyle UNO

We chose a different game for our weekly Poker night. Kiddo had Minecraft UNO cards and wanted to play UNO. But we tried to play with his extended set of rules that they made up during their bike trip the week before. Quirky rules like “you can’t say the color of the card, but must say this instead…”. Every round he came up with a new rule or changed the ones he already issued. Felt a bit like work were the rules seem to change with each manager and round of reorg. But never make any logical sense….

B&B Friedenau Edition

After quite some walking around the city (I forgot the Fahrzeugschein when delivering my car to the garage to get new TÜV and had to fetch it) I was looking forward to the next B&B meeting Thursday evening at the Boerge HQ in Friedenau. That was rather delicious and garnished with warm hospitality. Unfortunately he set the bar high for home made burgers now :-/

Also the lovely Klappstulli gifted us these team bracelets BnB♾️

energy consultant

On Saturday I met with the local energy consultant to start making a proper renovation plan for #project25. Slowly but surely we’re making progress.

The consultant will look at the condition and our vision how the house and rooms should look etc. and then does the calculation for the heating and what kind and level of insulation we’d need to apply in order to received subsidies for the renovation.

Stella rockt

Saturday afternoon K3 and me drove to nearby Friedrichswalde for their Saalkultur events. That’s various exhibitions and events in the village with its many historic halls. The opening event was an art installation made up of 3772 CDs forming a nice mosaic.

Later there was a comedy fashion show, buffet, bbq and finally a concert by the band “Stella Rockt“.

They started with “Lonely Boy” from The Black keys and immediately set the tone for the rest of the concert. Powerful rock music with their own touch. They played cover songs of many famous songs. What I liked is that they didn’t just try to imitate the original but made them proper rock songs with their own twist. Sometimes changing the speed or the tone slightly. All four of them were great performers at their instruments. The lady on the drums absolutely killed it as well did the lead guitarist. I had great fun attending the concert and also lovely conversation with the band afterwards. Can highly recommend them for your next gig.
