Okay, so it's certainly been a while..
since I've said anything, and I've an excuse for the last week (Away in Germany) but for the rest of the time you can slap me - not that it's ever ALL that interesting whats typed about here :)
GERMANY - is amazingly CLEAN.
That needs to stand alone as it was brilliantly clean and environmentally friendly everywhere (minus the Ozone-Hole-Inflicting-Pollution-Producing-Train we all went up the Brocken in). They have recycling bins! I mean, where on earth in England do you get something so thought through! (Okay so we get the giant bins out the house but I'm talking about normal bins, around the town. Most, if not all, with separate holes for Packaging, Glass, Waste and something else ((probably metal, but I can't read German)))
Anyway, it was fun walking back down the Mountain. Its around 1142m high so if you triple that to get down, thats about what we walked to get down - the track goes back on its self, like a zig-zag for failure to break your ankles on the way down, I presume.
I'm not too sure how Jenny, Rob and I managed to be at back of each outting we did, with no exception for the hiking on Tuesday. On the way down, eventually we couldn't see everyone else they were so far ahead. But no worries, really, Jenny went off ahead to catch up while Rob and I carried on at the usual pace - till we saw Jenny on the other side of the zig-zag, down the mountain. (we would have have used it as a shortcut before but the fact of the matter was a giant river, so we thought again XD) But yeah, once we saw her, Rob gave little warning to leaping down the ironically steep slope to meet her on that side of the trees. Of course she was already far ahead by the time we actually go down (and for me to follow XD what a wimp I am "but we shouldn't go across there, should we?").
We sort of popped out the other side with snow/mud flying onto the road. XD And what brilliant timing. As we suddenly appeared out of the trees and onto the road, a group of German hikers were walking towards us - they were somewhat quiet (no doubt from the fiercness of their hate for us trampeling out of the 'Designated Pathways'!) as we passed eachother XD They must have known we were English.
Anyway, plans for today are to watch the three films downloaded by BitTorrent - <3.
Anastasia, Akira and Art School:Confidential (you know, only know as it occoured to me that they all start with 'A' hahaha) I was wondering what order to delightedly watch them in but I'm thinking alphabetical now.
That'd make it:
Akira, Anastasia then Art School - actually, the mood for watching Akira really isn't now.
New plan:
Start with a easy animation (and of course that 'What Happened To Anastasia?' in on tonight at 9, so that ties in nicely), work on with a comical-uni-arthouse then safe Akira for when I can be bothered to pay attention XD
Wooo, my dad planned! Geography can wait till tomorrow XD
Hope you are all well

P.S. It was brilliant to e-mail Charly with the German keyboards there, the z and y were swapped around so every time I went to write 'Anyway' it became 'Anzwaz' - which is amazing! XD Without even trying it basically turned everything I said German.
P.P.S. We took heaps of photos and not to mention BRILLIANT videos, which I'll see if I can get ahold of.
P.P.P.S. http://music.guardian.co.uk/video/page/0,,2045537,00.html Patrick Wolf has saved all his hair off! In Charly's words it looks like an emo cut it with their eyes closed :( Still, hes as sweet as ever which is nice to know. I'd be sad if the loss of hair would present a loss of morale.
