Back 3

Oh noooooooo! Another visit to the doctors, and another whole month staying at home because of my shoulder! :(
In the last week I've been trying to have some fun all the same, in between physiotherapy:
- went to the open air cinema at Potsdamer Platz to watch "Der Himmel über Berlin" ("Wings of Desire"), Berlin in the 80s with lots of wellknown places close to my place,
- explored a great ball room place in Mitte, Clärchens Ballhaus, (no dancing for me),
- had a wonderful sunny sunday strolling around places of arts (street art exhibition in xberg) and music (at english garden and Bode-Museum) with Kliment's friends, Klaas from the Netherlands, his girlfriend Giedre from Lithuania, and Grigory from Russia (we were 19, 30, 44, and 56 years old - age doesn't matter when travelling)
- met an old friend and collegue, Christine, whilst shopping in my kiez who invited me to a lovely dinner of home made tomato soup in her spacious flat, not even 15 minutes to walk from my place,
- remembered my love for mint tea made from fresh herbs which I had tasted for the first time ever last year when travelling to Ceuta and Morocco, and enjoy it in the hot August days now,
- joined the crowd between Brandenburg gate and Siegessäule at Planet Pro Berlin listening to all kinds of life music on 12 stages, and getting soaking wet in the usual tropical thunderstorm over Berlin,
- watched the streets in Schöneberg get flooded from a safe place in a pub, but realized later I would have to wade through to get home (soaking wet again, from head to toe),
- and, last but not least, tried some new restaurants with tasty food for low prizes.
Ok, that's it for now, see you again when my shoulder is better. Sigh.
