Anna's visit

After a looong day of building a new website, I went to Spandau at 11 pm to meet my daughter Anna. She needs a break from working for her exam, and is curios to see the cats.
The cheap ticket for 59 Euro meant taking a very late train, which was even later than expected. And it was freezing cold in the ICE and at the windy station in Hannover where she changed trains. I brought her a sweater and a scarf, and when finally at home at 2 am, some woollen socks. She had caught a cold all the same, so Saturday was a lazy day with lots of dozing and getting better. The weather was nasty as well, grey clouds, lots of rain. Just right to stay at home and play with the cats.
Anna had brought some presents: a lovely necklace for me, nougat hearts (no chance of losing weight), and great toys for Gustav and Emil. Gustav enjoyed jumping up and down to catch the birdie and the huge mouse for hours on end!
Even Emil liked Anna (of course!), and allowed her to come really close, touch him and caress him even. Anna and animals! :)
When we felt a bit better in the evening, we went for a small stroll to Ku'damm and Winterfeldtplatz, for a pizza and later to the new french restaurant at Akazienstraße to have some galettes (me) and crepes with icecream (Anna). It's a lovely place, and the food is delicious. And there's life music as well!
This morning we had to get up early to take the bus to the main station. We were in time to have a nice breakfast, and admire the cakes they sold for mother's day. We hugged each other goodbye, then she left by train, getting out her books to learn some more for her exams, and I went home through the sunshine to my empty flat. Not that empty, with my nice cats awaiting me! :)
