Sunday in the park

Since the weather was so lovely, I couldn't resist, and took a walk to the Schöneberg Rudolph-Wilde-Park. They celebrated a family festival with fresh asparagus from Beelitz, wine from Rheinland-Pfalz, and the usual Berlin streetfair trade. But lots of entertainment for children and quite some good music as well. We had missed the best though: Damenorchester Salome and the fireworks last night.
I had a snack and a beer at the "Hirschbrunnen" and found there is a small lake close by, perfect to sit at the shore and enjoy the sunset. Something to do in warm summer evenings - it's only a ten minutes walk from my place.
It was mother's day today - the first had been celebrated 100 years ago. The woman who had promised her mother she would make it a day to commemorate her and all mothers' love worldwide, was disappointed how fast it became a day to buy flowers and sweets and nothing much more. Well, in Schöneberg we had special offers for all women, like a glass of prosecco for 0,50 Euro or a brunch for free at "Robbengatter". Pity, Anna and I couldn't have it!
Another birthday of 100 years: Katharine Hepburn - she had been born on May 12th 1907. She's one of my favourite actresses, I especially love "Bringing up baby" with Cary Grant. It's not her best, she didn't get an award for it (like for so many others), but I just love the wit and fun in it. Screwball comedies for me any time!
Oh, and of course "African Queen" is great. And "Woman of the year" with the love of her life Spencer Tracy. And... and... and... Duh, have to watch a few of them again soon.
