Now for dinner!! We have slowly been making our way through the 2 kg bag of carrots kindly left by F’s sister. Tonight is schnitzel with carrot.

You may be wondering what we do all day in between searching for coffee and Flashdancing. Mostly we have been doing all the museums of Berlin. Nefititi’s bust was today’s highlight. Yesterday we dragged the girls through one too many rooms of conceptual art. Beuy’s room of tallow blocks was a bit if a hard sell. Today’s mummified Egyptians were more on the mark. Tomorrow we are off to Brussels in search of better coffee and wifi!

And for your penance for getting thus far, below are two more of my last three early morning’s paintings of F’s flat.
