A day with the Stach family

Yesterday was one of those days: a lot to be done, and then nothing much after all. Bert, Jana, cousin Johannes from Schöneberg, little two year old Lars and me went with two cars all over Kiel to get everything necessary for the big party on saturday. 8 year old Eric joined us after school. The weather was great, but we were mostly inside the cars, shops, and all kind of places where we found helpful people who gave us party kit.
At ver.di we met my looong time collegue and friend Holger Malterer, and Dieter Krause, with whom I had been working on our new wage system. Holger once had tried to convince me to join his ver.di-team in Kiel. And I had refused becuase of my non existent driwing skills and hade gone to Berlin internet editorial staff instead - arrrrgghhh!
We lived on food and drinks offered in the huge markets, including cocktails for free. :-) Finally we made it home just in time for the World Championship, and had an evening of soccer, pizza and beer. Nice day, in a funny way...
