Well, strictly speaking it's neither morning nor exceptionally beautiful -- it's noon, and it's rather grey outside. But I'm sure we're going to have a good day... :)
I think it's time I posted a bit of a report of the last days here, and since I'm waiting for Kadira to finish ironing so we can have breakfast, I might as well do it now.
I arrived here on Wednesday morning last week, after a twenty-hour bus ride, and was picked up by Kadira and her family at the bus station. We then spent the rest of the day talking and watching Farscape music videos and eps. (I know Kadira from HL fandom, but she started watching FS because of my constant recommendations, and really grew to love it.) The next day we were planning to visit Montserrat, a famous mountain and monastery, but we didn't get out of bed in time, so we spent the day watching FS instead. The day after that, we *did* manage to do some sightseeing, but we only made it to Barcelona's Barri Gotic, not to Montserrat. We also visited a number of bookshops and had some icecream. In the evening, of course, we watched Farscape again.The next day we went to Barcelona again to see another old quarter called Born, and a beautiful gothic church (and another bookshop. *g*) That evening, we did *not* watch FS because we ran into some technical problems. The day after that we finally managed to get up in time for Montserrat... I'd already been to Montserrat with Kadira the last time I visited her, but the mountain is very beautiful, and I wanted to see it again - and Kadira is simply in love with Montserrat, so she never minds going there another time! :-) As on the previous days, Volker and Mike, Kadira's husband and son, accompanied us, and made altogether pleasant company. In the evening - you guessed it - we watched FS again (we've reached 4.05 now)... and today my muscles ache from hiking on Montserrat, and I have no objections at all to spending most of today watching most of the rest of season four! And maybe I'll be able to write a bit.
Besides what I described above, we of course spent a lot of our time talking about anything from our so called Real Lives through general fandom related things through Farscape in particular to writing. (I pestered Kadira with all my writing neuroses) Oh, and Volker provided consistently great food, except for two days, on one of which *I* cooked (I made my trademark 'lazy lasagna'). On the other we called a pizza service.I'm enjoying every moment here, and I don't really want to think about going back to Frankfurt yet...
PS: I just accidentally posted this entry in Kadira's journal! Ooooops...
