I put it on. Quick glance at the mirror : The pullover XXL length almost down to my knees is definitely not in for this winter 2008. I had to do something.

I wish I was born a knitter. And a tailor too. Unfortunately, I am anything but that. But I decided to give a try.

First, the scissors, then the wool. In my kitchen, there were two long chopsticks best for what I want to do. Big problem : no idea how to start the reshaping of my piece of knitwear. I had to surf the internet and could find this video :

The Basics

It took me two hard days to achieve a very unusual task. I called my king of heart : ‘Guess what I am doing right now.’ ‘Knitting’. Out of the blue he was right. He was just joking because he’s never seen me knitting anything anywhere. He couldn’t believe that I conceded him a win !

I wish I could knit better. My new old knitwear doesn’t look very pretty. But it is a homemade chef-d’oeuvre. It is so soft and it keeps me warm. And I feel so wonderfully secure in it.

Learning The Other French

I spent so much time surfing their site that my homework went undone at the end of the day. It had been a pleasure to refresh my memories by reading some explanations of colloquial expressions contained in one of my favorite languages.

French is the tricky language par excellence. Words are very often not spelled the way they sound. This can cause heavy headaches. If your headaches persist, only one thing can save your mental : take your French manual and your mattress to the doctor’s waiting room. Stay there and make yourself comfortable until you are done with your French learning. Then and only then you can get back home.

Have you noticed how many difficult French words the young participants of the Spelling Bee contest must SPELL RIGHT in order to win? So difficult French words that lots of people living in France and using their mother tongue on a daily basis are unable to spell correctly.

Some among them use the SMS language to disguise their weakness mastering the official spelling rules although they don’t text message on cell phones. Fortunately the SMS language is banned from many forums, since it is not easily read and understood by common sense.

I am a lucky girl. I live 4 train stations away from the most gigantic folk festival of the world. It takes only 15 min by train to get there from my home. This party of the superlative takes place every year on the Bavarian Wiesn.

Munich – Oktoberfest

Reinheitsgebot

Fred the Sailorman looked just like Popeye, the comic hero. He was always smoking some horrible stuff. His flat was all yellowish from top to bottom due to his nonstop chainsmoking activities. He was born in Hamburg (Northern Germany). After many years sailing around the world, once retired, he spent the third part of his life in Bavaria (Bayern). That’s where I met him. I became his neighbor. Same flight. Across the corridor. He couldn’t stand the Bayrish dialect, which was easy to understand since he spoke academic German. To people living in Northern Germany, Bavarian citizens appear like they are peasants, which they aren’t, of course. Otherwise, I’d be one myself, which I am not.

Although he loves drinking beer so much he hated Oktoberfest. Too loud and too many people for his taste. He was right about that. If you feel like meditating, don’t go to the Oktoberfest. Not a chance of quietness there.

But can you imagine somebody living almost 20 years 20 min by train from Oktoberfest and never having set foot on the Wiesn? Fred was the guy who did it.

Touring The Wiesn

To be a full success, Oktoberfest must be real loud. You’ll even hear your heart pounding like hell through the powerful screams of the visitors to this fantastic fair if you ride the big roller coasters.

Happy stay to all visitors to Munich,
a beautiful city in Southern Germany and my hometown !
