Celebrations

Working for the union for 25 years - a reason to celebrate! Henrik Müller, editor of "druck+papier", had invited all his old collegues from IG Druck und Papier and IG Medien and a few more from ver.di to a wonderful evening of food, drinks and good company at "Chefetage" . They came through the heavy falling snow from all over Berlin and places as far as Stuttgart and Cyprus, and even our former president Detlef Hensche joined us.
I was sitting with the journalist crew, besides my friend since many years Ulli Maercks-Franzen, exchanging memories and listening to the latest trade union news.
Ulli invited me to a carneval singing session at "Ständige Vertretung" next saturday, to learn all the latest songs. I'd love to go. She's from Bonn and I'm from Düsseldorf, and being from those traditional carneval places along the Rhine we have so much fun at carneval, both of us.
But I already bought the ticket to Den Bosch (special offer, 39 Euro), to join the HC meeting on February 3rd, and of course eat one or two of those delicious and rich bossche bollen. It's my sister's birthday the day after, and Düsseldorf on the way from the Netherlands to Berlin anyway. Hmmm. Now what?
Whilst pondering on this problem, I enjoy the snow in Berlin, even though all the traffic slowed down after not even half an hour of heavy snowing, and even if it makes me feel (and look) like a snowwoman just walking across the street. :)
