Lousy Summer

Feels like Munich went straight from a very good spring to autumn, sweat glands were on standby most of the summer. We were told we missed the scorcher days while we were vacationing. Like I care, why doesn't it happen while I am here. Believe it when I see it. This crappy weather is also a sore reminder for what is in store for the months to come. You never win with the German weather gods. The desert run (aka my trip to Dubai) last week was tiring. Was staying near the beach so I figured I would take an early morning dip (also an excuse to gorge at the buffet breakfast) not bad idea eh! Ever swam in a hot soup, never doing that again. Found a good chinese joint. I slept all of Saturday to shake off desert weariness. Household was not pleased. Went to the beergarden with some soon-to-be wedded friends yesterday. Much to my amusement I found that in order to fulfill the basic reason of coming to a Bavarian beergarten, you must first wash your mug. Thats right, 6.60 Euro buys an unwashed mug and once you have thoroughly rinsed it you get some beer (on the house). You must wash the same mug again when you go for seconds and this time it cost 6,60 Euro. Sounds like cost cutting? Sounds more like cost cutting plans hatched after a few bouts of beer. Always something new just when you think u have figured it all out after 3 years. I have 2 weeks of beef and pinotage to look forward to, back in Joburg. Thats my flight boarding, more from the bush later.
