The weather here is unbelievable-- hot and sunny, and now that we are more or less certified Kölner and Kölnerin, we know that this may indeed be the summer. July could be rainy, August could be cold (but it doesn't really matter to me, I won't be here anyway. ha!)
And since we have been here for so long (almost 3 years!!), we have made a few friends, and everyone had something going this weekend (poor Jeremy is kind of chained to The Science, so he could only go to one picnic). The Greek/French girl who did the video for my show had a party on Saturday, and Beate and I ended up talking for most of the time with a filmmaker. He had a newly discovered love for classical music, and it was enchanting to hear Beate explain the difference between classical music and baroque.
Then, on Sunday, I went to a Köln Tanzt picnic at an amazing park on the other side of the Rhein. I saw a herd of sheep grazing there! I wanted to go pet them and see if I could just make a little woolly snip, but they were kind of far away, the day was hot, and I got lazy. After that, I booked it over to another park, in order to serve the scientists my strawberry tarts and eat Orhan's sardines (Orhan's family owns a fish store... I complimented the sardines so much that we can now be assured of delicious grilled fish at every barbeque).
Now I am getting ready for my next show-- a little "Divertissement Royale" in Switzerland with Bernhard (the guy I worked for for the Lambrazi show). I'll be there June 3-7.
