​the living room was warm, dark and womblike, so I overslept.  It was Midday before I awoke! 
 
Not going anywhere today because 1) I’d like the opportunity to get to know Katja better, 2) I overslept 3) It will be good to see some of the city in the daylight and 4: It’s raining.
 
Katja is not working either (she is a psychotherapist working with teenagers with mental health issues so has some flexibility about how she arranges her workload), so we visited the Post office and had a stroll around Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, past new and old places, and shopping centres – including the DM chain that Beate works for, and a British shop called Lavender House, specialising in Cream Teas (no, didn’t go in – wouldn’t want to be disappointed by a whipped replacement for clotted cream).  
 
We went back to Katja’s apartment – and I did a daily draw of an elephant that Katja had carved herself out of soapstone. 
Katja  has been knitting for four years but is an expert – another continental knitter.  I loved her three layer jumper – and she finished test-knitting a sock while I was staying, with a german heel.
 
Making supper was a team effort: I suggested gougere with courgettes, onions and the german sausage Katja already had.  Patrick(Katja’s partner) came home during the preparation and mucked in too.  The white sauce was a bit puddingy as I inadvertently used semolina to thicken it (translation problems!).  Wee roast potatoes were great, with raspberries and blackberries in yoghurt whisked with flax oil (healthy ay?).  I had a dark, sweet beer to accompany.
Patrick went off to watch football after supper – while Katja and I chatted and painted and knitted.  It was all very congenial.

Wonderful. You won't want to leave Europe at this rate. Lavender House. Very UK. Love the gargoyles; they don't build things like that any more. I have one in my garden though.
I'm moving to Teignmouth on Friday! But keeping the horses in Lustleigh so will be back most days.

I LOVE the gargoyles - there have been many more, but I'm such a crap photographer and the light was poor those first few weeks. You need one on your flat in Teignmouth vomiting like the one in this pic, just above the entrance methinks... You've moved? Who's going to be in Lustleigh then?

Glad you're enjoying it - makes writing it worthwhile - and it's amazing how quickly one forgets details. I go back and reread and think oh yeah! I'd forgotten that already! I passed the 1000mile mark yesterday :-)
