a baby is born

Yesterday was my first day at the women's Gym. It was nice to have a real work-out, and not just bike-riding (although Yoga is not bad either). Afterwards I rode my bike to the 'middle point of Schleswig Holstein' to meet up with the boyfriend who had been out biking while I was at the gym. We then fed some carrots to a few local horses and ponies who are just too cute. Then, we got a huge surprise when we saw on another field that a baby cow had just been born. Of course we had to go take pictures of the adorable new calf, who a little while later took his first steps. Another cow looked about ready to have a baby too. I didn't know that cows had babies so late in the year.. I would have exected Spring babies... but anyhow, today we are going to go check on the baby in a little while. Here are some pictures:

bike riding

So, Sunday evening I got a phone call from Mrs. A saying the kid were at their Grandparents for 2 days... meaning 2 more days to spend with the boyfriend. :) So yesteday we spend the afternoon bike-riding and hiking, from about 2 pm until 6... then we had to bike qickly home since it was getting dark. The last few days have provided perfect Fall weather; cold but clear. I took some picture of some cool mushooms, and a cute little newt we came cross, as well as an old water-mill which is still in use. Enjoy.

I know, I know....

I know, I know, it's been way too long since I've blogged. I've been busy, but mostly I've been telling myself "tomorrow." And, as you know, tomorrow never comes. What have I been up to in the last 2 months? Almost every weekend I'm at the boyfriend's apartment (in fact, I am annoying him by typing loudly right now when we should be watching Gran Torino). But I wanted to get something on here. Yesterday we spent the day bike-riding. We discovered an old Youth-Club biulding, which is falling into despair, but at one time must have been an amazing place for kids and teens to hang out.I blame the internet and video games for its lack of use today (I say that somewhat ironically, since I am online now). We hiked a little and enjoyed the cool autumn weather. It's really beautiful now, cold and crisp and clear... but it rains a little too often for my taste (since Fall is my favorite season). Gladbach (our favorite Soccer team) has lost the last 5 games, and pretty much are sucking unnecessarily... beh, prehaps they'll win today, but they're playing the team who was number one last year, so the chance is.... meh, not great. In two weeks they play Hamburg in Hamburg, so we're considering going to the match, but it may be too depressing. lol. Other than that, I lead a boring life. I've joined the new woman's gym, which opens next weekend, and I had my first yoga class last week. I thought Yoga might be boring... since I have a bit of a short attention span, but I actually really, really like it.
The little girl, S, had her 4th b-day a few weeks ago. She invited 4 friends over for a wild little birthday party which I helped run. The next two weeks Mrs. A works every day, which means I will be working 7-6:30/7 everyday too. Next week the kids still have vacation, so it may be brutal. But the week after I'll be able to send them to school for 4 glorious hours... lol. Ok, at least I broke my 2 month dry spell. Hope this wasn't too boring.
