I convinced PW and Vreni to head out with me to 'do something, anything!', so we headed to the English Garden with some rugs and our bikes....

Vreni baked the most amazing chocolate Raspberry Cake for my birthday.
When I invited some of my friends over for Champagne and Sushi, our flesh-monster Bernd had the little box in front of him for himself. Veggy Sushi. He has become a Vegetarian. It is true. Mankind can change for the better. All hope is not lost.
