After work I went by bus to Alexanderplatz. This square is not, never has been and never will be beautiful. Or even finished being rebuilt and changed. (Remember Alfred Döblin and his famous book?)Anyway, the departmentstore "Kaufhof" looks prettier and posher than ever, and huge malls will open later this year along the square. So it's just the place to stop and shop.
No bikini for me yesterday, they're the kind I used to wear when I was 17. So they still look pretty, but not on me. Same with trousers. Luckily, high waists will be the fashion later this year. Slightly disappointed, I went on to Friedrichstraße and "Strauss", where I found this cute bright orange dress. Size S, and it fitted perfectly! Just the right shape for me: sleeves below the elbow, but not too long, small shoulders, (not too) small waist, wider round the hips, perfect length. But: wrong shade of orange. :(
A visit at "Dussmann" across the street made me spend the amount of money I had planned to, though on books instead of clothes. A few by Alexander McCall Smith. I'm especially fond of his series on the Botswana woman detective: The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. It shows his love and deep understanding for Africa, the people and the nature, in every sentence. And it's fun to read.
Getting out of the bus at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz, I was just in time to buy some food for the holiday today at the Özgida Supermarket. I couldn't stop with the indian dishes, but had to have some Ben and Jerry's icecream Anna had discovered last saturday they sell.
Now wasn't that a great start into a great idle evening! With icecream and books on my couch, and Gustav the cat beside me!
