So, I will be moving into 15 Kanzowstrasse on 1st November!

I have just e-mailed the football contact here as I´m keen to start playing again after my summer off. He asked my age which I thought was a bit odd... So now I have been bungled in to the über 30 team Must remember to pick up my kit at the weekend...

Lentil Stew with Sausage ´Knacker´ - That´s gotta be worth a look at!

In other news, it is gloomy and tipping down with rain here today...

Note to self: purchase man-friendly, non-inverting-in-the-wind umbrella

Had an e-mail from Matty this morning to say he´ll be heading over from 23rd - 26th October - Cool!

I´ve kinda realised that moving to a big city where you know nobody and can´t speak the language makes living in your own apartment (even though it´s really nice) a bad idea, at least to start with anyway. I receive letters from my bank that I can´t read and there is only one television channel in English (BBC World). Admittedly, it would be great for visitors, but it´s easy to rent apartments in Berlin for a weekend/week anyway and not very expensive at all. So, I have decided that a flatshare is the way forward, for the time-being at least. So, last night I took a look at an apartment just up the road from where I´m staying now right around the corner from Prenzlauer Allee S-Bahn station. A very friendly German girl with excellent English is looking to rent a large room in her apartment from 1st November so I e-mailed her this morning to let her know that I´m interested. A few other people have been round as well, so I just have to wait on her decision now...
