Munchin around Munchen

Christmas in munich is great. Not only do we have free accomodation care of my aunt linda, but also a steady supply of beer, bratwurst, and many other local delicacies to sample at the christmas markets -YUM!



oh yeh and its a beautiful city too, of course. my only complaint is that it hasnt snowed yet, well only for about 5 minutes but i want to make a snowman dammit!
and its been nice to be with family, its almost like being at home: linda giving me mom looks, george telling long-winded stories, dimitri being sarcastic and maureen being argumentative! but all of them lovely and generous too of course!
Merry Christmas!

I am unco

In the past 10 days I have:

1) dropped my phone in the toilet

2) on an entirely separate occasion, dropped my wallet in the toilet and

3) tripped over myself, landing in the mud.

Sadly I cannot claim drunkenness as an excuse in any of these cases. In fact there are probably more unco things I have done this week, but being unco is such a part of my everyday life that they have not even registered as memorable.

I tried to rescue my phone but in doing so inadvertently killed it. According to the web page "How to Save a Wet Phone", which I only accessed after my mistake, turning a phone on before it's fully dry results in short circuiting of the electronics.

I threw my wallet out. I did however remember to remove (and clean) my money and cards. I am unco not stupid.

And when I fell in the mud, well, I laughed out loud. So did Zoe, one of my team mates who witnessed my graceful excursion to the soggy, muddy ground. For good measure she laughed again half an hour later when she remembered my trip: "you really just tripped over nothing ha ha ha"
