Trains run again!

Well, mostly. And even the new Berlin main station that had to be closed down last thursday, and then again last sunday (and will have to be during any storm, due to construction problems), was open. For how long, I wonder.
So when my niece Cathy told me in the morning she couldn't meet me because of a very bad flu, I decided I might as well take the next train back to Berlin after my sister was home from work at the tax office. It's getting colder, winter and snow are coming at last, and I'd prefer to be at home before the frost. I'm feeling a bit flueish as well, so I'd love to stay in bed at home and get well soon.
Cathy and Helen, my younger niece, will be visiting me in April, hopefully, and Marius (Cathy's son) and Felix (Helen's boyfriend) might join them. Looks like I'll host quite a few nice people starting this spring! :)
The journey was rather dull, no adventures whatsoever. I had a nice book to read on the way though, bought at Cathy's bookstore in Düsseldorf main station. Another iceland crime.
Back home at Crellestraße I found the flat slightly cold (heating it up only took like ten minutes), but all windows unbroken and all flowers watered and alive, plenty of delicious food in fridge and deepfreeze (I had chicken pasta), and even rose wine with just the right temperature. Not the right quality, though. ;)
Ahhhhhh, how nice to be back home! For a change! :)
