Back to the grind, for 2 weeks at least ;)
Yes, it has come around to that time again. My major assignment is due in two weeks, or 12 days, or something like that. It's SO hard to get motivated! I have this tiny bedroom where I sleep, eat and work too. It's too small! And the research itself involves a lot of translating... Ahh enough about that. I'm even boring myself
It snowed last night for the first time in a few weeks, so instead of dirty puddles of snow (the type commonly to be seen at Perisher in Australia) we have a white blanket over everything again. The average temps at the moment are about -6 overnight up to 2 during the day if we're lucky. The Neckar river has started to freeze over, which is most exciting!

My grandparents are now on the cruise ship (click to see the webcam!) somewhere on the Atlantic on their way to the Caribbean after a few food-filled days in Tuebingen. This is a picture of us at the Tuebingen Castle after visiting the surprisingly interesting Archaeology Museum there that belongs to my uni (free entry for the students)!
On the food front, I am still going through my Tim Tams, and this week have cooked a really tasty Pad Thai dish and a chicken lasagne. Tonight might be Schupfnudeln (translated in some German restaurants as "finger noodles") with a creamy mushroom and smoked salmon sauce.
And I also made cocktails with Absolut Vanilia, pineapple juice, and some triple sec imitation i found for under €4. We snuck ice cube moulds into our flatmate's freezer (we don't have one) so we even had ice cubes in the cocktails, albeit in limited supply: one ice cube per drink.

It is surprising what you can do with our dodgy student kitchens if you really put in the effort - this is Susie & my attempt to make gingerbread houses for Christmas!
So, only 2 weeks til Jo and Jeremy come to visit! (I hope you guys get a chance to sleep on the plane because I have so much planned for our couple of weeks together!!! I hope you like castles and thermal baths and views of the alps and....)
And then when they leave, it's only a few days til I fly home. Wow.
