Trash and treasures

I am sooo lucky. Whenever I come to Vaihingen, there's a fleamarket close to the campus. Well, almost always. There's the fleamarket on Karlsplatz downtown Stuttgart every saturday, but the Vaihingen one is a lot better because less professional. Anna and I love to go there, stroll around and look for nice things. And bargain a bit and get them cheaper. That's an important part of the fun.
Anna got lots of summer blouses and shirts and skirts for under 20 Euro yesterday. And I bought her some perfume for half the normal prize as a xmas gift. She got that nice old couch for xmas on thursday already. She had spotted it in our neighbour's car; Andreas can't resist picking up great stuff thrown away by negligent people. He sold it to us for 50 Euro. Ok, it needs to be upholstered again. But it looks great in our small house even now. So comfy! The cats like it a lot.
In the afternoon, we had some bbq in our small garden. The late summer sun is so nice and warm. All next week will be great. We should do some hiking with a weather like this!
But no, instead Anna and I got this awful summer cold. So the rest of the day was spent dozing and doing nothing but trying to get well soon. We hope it'll work.
