Today's a lovely day in Germany, although the weather report says it won't last. I will wait a little before I bring the wash in. I love clothes dried outside. ´Even outside here, where air pollution makes me get sore throats now and then. Last night was my sewing class, and there's this one person there who rattles like a tin can full of rocks. Not only that, but she talks loud, which always reminds me of an air raid siren. Really awful to say, but another lady once asked her if she had 'hearling loss' because of her conversational volume. She got very offended. So what I usually do is take my iPod and listen to music to shut her out. Her endless chatter makes concentration impossible! Silly me forgot to bring my headset to go with my iPod. I know that it seems rude, but that's the only way I can concentrate on what I'm doing with her around. Maybe I'm just too polite to tell her to talk softer or I know she will get offended if I make some sort of remark. Anyway, I lucked out because I had to use the edging machine last night to do all the pieces of my coat and that thing gets pretty loud and can drown her out. So, I got home last night feeling pretty wired. Today, my PS goal is to level up in cooking to making the giant lolly.

Okay, this is my gripe for today. Yesterday it was about the sheer magnitude of pink items in the shops, today it's about TV, specifically German TV. It's so bad that now one of the third programs (each area of Germany had their own TV station where they can play things of local interest). Most of it is as exciting as a trip to the dentist. But, tonight's show takes the cake. In the southernmost area of the country they are playing a show called (I kid you not): Bavarian Political Idol! I don't really get why they want to glorify politicians, but I guess to some they need all the help they can get. At any rate, this woman gets on the stage and sings about laws, checks and balances. It's not even funny. I mean; Clive Kalinga the singing civil servant from the Muppet Show would be right at home there, but he was at least funny. At any rate, my husband watched for about two minutes and saw the audience filled to the max with politicians dressed in lederhosen and no doubt chugging beer. Yay! Let's hear it for stereotypes! And people wonder why I don't have anything productive to say about what's on television...
