Lilja is here!!!

My Best friend Lilja came today from London to Berlin. I am one happy woman. We have not seen each other since the day before we moved to Berlin about 5 months ago. I was totally late to pick her up from the airport, stupid me and trains, do not go well together. Anyway, she was just there, outside smoking a Cigarette, casual. After she took a nap and i baked her a cake, we wentured out in to the freezing cold(-12 celsius) walked thru Alexander platz, down to Hackerscher Markt and to Museumsinsel. Berliner dom and a very very frozen Spree. 

Tomorrow the plan is to go to the Berlin zoo, for Lilja has a thing for Kiwi birds and so off we will go and see about some Kiwi´s.

Lilja has a blog as well, where she and our friend Katrin blog about their life in London

Unicorns for breakfast

Bitterly cold

So i thought coming from a country called Iceland would give me some experience with cold. Ummm no. I have to say that i have never in my life been so cold, ever. 
It´s almost -10 when i go to school in the mornings, and about -7 when i come home just after noon. Cold cold cold. I´m going to stop whining now :)


I have finally started going to school again, the January course ended today and the february one starts friday. I lost two weeks of school but it seems i have not missed that much, my German is still on the same level as the people who have actually been coming to class. 


I am very exited for this coming weekend for my best friend Lilja is coming tomorrow morning and staying with us for the whole weekend.YAY!! 
The next few days are going to be sooo much fun!!


Last weekend was good, Tiergarten market on saturday and Boxhagener market on sunday. Bought this seriously creepy doll for Isabella.

Creepy right?






and here are a few snapshots from the last few days

Cold cold saturday

I took a nap for an hour and woke up to snow!!

Good day. Friday

Cold cold day in Berlin, but spent walking thru Prenzlauerberg , gossiping with my friends Tinna and Aslaug and knitting whilst watching American crime tv.  Tomorrow the plan is to go to Tiergarten market. I just have to remember to dress well this time.

 

 

January..blues

Ok so i´m just gonna start this blog anew. New Title and new stuff.  The last ten days have been spent sick and bored. Pinterest, law and order and facebook games...

Finally picked up my camera today and took some photos of Isa. Then we fought. She hates when i take pictures of her and gets real cranky. The i felt really bad for fighting with a five year old and took her out for a walk and gave her a Barbie doll. It only cost about 5 euros but i am spoiling her rotten. At least she is playing with the Barbie now so maby it was worth it :)

I have a cold sore above my upper lip to challenge evry cold sore EVER!!

 Anyway my big plan for tomorrow is going to school. That is if they let me back in the class. 

I have actually taken up knitting and its so much fun!! I never could have belived how fun it is, i have found my inner crafts woman, finally :) I have knitted 3 scarves since the end of December and am now making an attempt to knit a big blanket. This is my inspiration.

I´m not using these colors but am making it in a patchwork-y style. My deadline is before Isabella´s birthday at the end of February. I know i can do it!! I already have 2 and a half patches made. 

I´ll keep u all posted.

And i have started baking. Cupcakes are my new passion and i´m trying to find the perfect recipe for yummy choc cupcakes. If you have one that is good, please share :)

I may blog again tomorrow, now that would be fun yes?

Here are some of the pictures i took of Isabella today, Enjoy ;)
