Catch-up Post 1

Gawd it's been nearly 2 weeks since I last posted, no excuse for it really, apart from the fact I have been really lazy. But anyway may as well catch-up.

Well since the last post I've had two amazing weekends. For the first the ever-amazing Morven came to visit which was brilliant. She arrived on the Thursday night and left on the Sunday, and inbetween time amazing fun was had by all. Took her to my school on the Friday (she didn't mind, or so she said, before anyone has a go at me for taking my guests to work). It was fun, took her into classes 7a H9 and 5 and fun was had by all. We then bussed it into Dresden, and I showed her the highlights (and lowlights I'm afraid, but you kinda have to walk past them) of my lovely city. This included a late lunch in a decent restaurant which I quite like, which is just within my price range. Having said that Morven sneakily paid while I was in the toilet, although I got my own back by paying for getting into the Frauen Kirche and other things later. And so it continued throughout the weekend, with neither of us wanting to let the other one pay for stuff, she just wouldn't let me be a gent, nor I her a lady, what are friends like, eh? Think it actually worked out evens in the end, so twas ok!

On the Saturday we went to the football, saw Dynamo Dresden beat the might St Pauli 3-0, saw my housemate at the game, didn't know he was a fan! The police presence was massive, the game's a bit of a derby, which explains why the main road going past the stadium where the trams go was blocked off with police in riot gear and helicopters flying overhead! Got in and out no problem and there was no trouble as far as I could tell. Dynamo didn't play well first half but were 2 up in the last 4 minutes before half time both goals from Alexander Ludwig, one a well worked corner, the other a penalty. Played far better second half but missed a hat full of chances, Vorbeck eventually getting the third with seven minutes left.

Saturday night we went to on a mini-bar crawl, mini because it only involved 3 bars. Met up with Tomek and Louise as well, and then joined by Katrien after Louise had gone to another engagement (the socialite). Spent ages at the first bar, before going to the really cheap Barenzwinger night finished at 2 in Katy's Garage. Sunday Morven left, as the saying goes, all good things most come to and end, rest of the weekend was rather non-descript really. As for the res of the week, that was fine two, worked out my new lesson timetable at school, doing more lessons, but that suits me fine, means tis more interesting working with more and different classes and teachers! Catch-up post 2 follows soon!
