Ruddy stargazers, the lot of them.
Aug. 12th, 2004 12:34 amNote to self: When looking at the night sky for a longer time, lay down right in the beginning. Otherwise, neck will start hurting.
But so many pretty falling stars!
And since it had rained this morning, it was still nicely cool and the garden had that wonderful smell of wet earth again.
(Honey. Wet earth. Ringing metal - - -)
Unfortunately, since we are living quite close to the city centre, it's never really dark. But even so, I could see some of the Perseids.
*happy*
Had three wonderful days with Jörg before he had to leave for Heilbronn again. Apparently, while he was gone, they sorted out some hickhack and made some new plans, which means that he could practically have stayed here for the rest of the week because nothing important will be done before Sunday. Gah.
The perfection that are German nuclear plants.
We both noticed that two weeks are a damn long time. And I learned that you really, really get used to not sleeping alone. It feels wrong to lie all alone in bed. Sympathetic as they are, our cats have both taken to sleep beside me (which they usually don't do both at once) so I wasn't altogether alone, but of course, that's hardly the same thing.
And now it's another week. Maybe he's returning here from Thursday to Sunday, which would be really nice. But all this driving to and fro and changing plans and things is somewhat trying, not to mention the amounts of kilometres and liters of gas needlessly spent.
*sigh*
