On Saturday it goes south of the equator to South Africa. And then on Tuesday we have our first tee time. The anticipation is high and increases with each passing day. So if my interest in Cape Town / Garden Route-diary should have, from Sunday evening to talk a look inside. I'm trying to create daily reports with beautiful photos.
Yes I read the time actually "The city of lost children" and I really like the book very well. Nevertheless, I will break it first because I just this month my book for the "Get discoverer Challenge must read.
For the month of February, I've chosen the following data:
The Luxe (The Princess of New York) ~ Anna Godbersen New York, 1898: The swan-like Liz Holland is the world's feet. Together with her friend Penelope and her sister Diana, it is the prom queen of New York's upper class. But then Mrs Holland opened their daughters that the Family is in debt. Liz has to make a good match. Actually, no problem - if it was not because someone has won the Liz's heart already ...
Next, I would like to thank everyone who reads regularly now! For I have now been 53 reader and am very happy about it! I would have thought at first that my blog will never see anyone and so is the joy of each new readers all the greater. Actually I had ago, when I have 50 readers, make again a competition. However, I did not expect that it goes so fast. :-) So I decided to wait with the contest still up to my birthday (March 18) and then hold a little contest for all my readers to give it to the 1-2 win prizes probably will. was
this week but no new books (I'm still remained steadfast), but a new DVD:
North & South (long version) England in the second half of the 19th Century. change when her father, a Protestant clergyman, quarry workers from home and the reasons the position has landed, the best education from civil relations derived, highly self-conscious Margaret Hale from South London in the middle of the rough reality of a bleak working-industrial city in England's rough north. There she falls in love just in the arrogant, but in the heart philanthropic mill owner Thornton.
far I have seen 2 of 4 episodes of the series and likes it very much. The next scene I find very well done and somehow beautiful ...
Now there are again a bit older (and shorter) review from me. :-)
Anne of Green Gables ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery
The first sentence: Mrs. Rachel Lynden house stood where the alders and fuchsia-lined main street of Avonlea by a small depression led ...
blurb: A girl? That must be some mistake! For the Cuthberts the orphanage had specifically requested a boy. But then a thin girl stands with fire red hair and a face dotted with freckles before them. And within a very short time captured the lively Anne her heart. But soon take on dark clouds. Why the terrible Gilbert makes the school Anne's life just so hard?
opinion: I have the book read for the first time with about 12 years and now I am over 20 and yet the book has lost none of its charm. "Anne of Green Gables" will probably remain forever one of my favorite books. The siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert wanted to adopt a boy. But enough of the boy standing on her doorstep once Anne Shirley, whose greatest misfortune is her red hair. After some time and some turbulence due to Anne's lively imagination, the Cuthberts decide Anne retain. Because they have already concluded the little girl in her heart. So begins Anne's life in the small town of Green Gabel Avonlea. Quick finds her friends as enemies ....
The story is told wonderfully. They are happy and suffers with Anne. I can only recommend the book to everyone! As mentioned above, it will always be one of my favorites.

First I have to apologize once I completely forgot I had to be reported absent. But as you see here now / read I'm still alive. :-) The reason for my absence was the seminar week as part of my FSJs. So I was a week in a completely isolated place called rock bottom, where it except a castle (which is great) and a total of about 10 houses there, nothing. Internet gives there, unfortunately not, so I log back until now. It would be nice if I report back to me in so-called old freshness could, but unfortunately I am now for a cold about a week ago Monday and will now finally go to the doctor (because I was away, for there was not before). Therefore, it may be that I am this week reported a bit irregular but otherwise I'm back! :-)

Thank you for your many nice comments on the last entry. The anticipation is now manifested in the fact that my knitting list takes with baby models unrealistic dimensions. For Jonas, I had actually knitted only bigger things, so that he can wear long as possible. I told him it could attract in the first weeks of nothing, because all things were hopelessly too large. So I said to myself, this time I do it better and throw myself on the tiny models for newborns.
This little jacket is from the beautiful new yarn Baby Alpaca Silk by drops. For a summer jacket is the choice of material may not be perfect, but I could not resist trying out the yarn and am delighted with the fine and soft structure.
The Phildar guide was great - but with the sewing together of completion I have done something difficult and changed the neckline and the button panel.
Sun Well I finally got it done. The card is ready. Took some time. But good things take time. On the map now, the 50 best places in Germany, with some detail (green fee, architect, website links, etc) are listed. Everything remains subjective. But there is a good indication of great places that you can play easily, if one is nearby. In places no one makes mistakes. No doubt, all are good. It is interesting that the mass is in the biggest cities. Berlin, Hamburg. Munich and Cologne all have a good selection of top courses. Have fun playing. To get on the map, click on the link below the map. Then there are the details.
One or other reader have probably asked Ela knit at all? A longer time it's pretty quiet here now. I have taken time off for health reasons, even from knitting. A small piece has been created in recent days, a baby kimono for the tiny creature will grow in the summer, our family and now my life pretty messed up.
The instructions are easy to understand and the result meets my expectations. With yarn for baby stuff I've done a very good experience, it is very soft and can be washed in the machine. The color choice was a challenge, yet I know not whether I will continue to knit something in pink, or stick with the good guys colors. At the light gray yarn I particularly liked the shades very well.
before yesterday I started a new book and that it is following, which I I had been looking forward a long time:
The city of lost children ~ Caragh O'Brien Tell me where the children are young The Gaia is with her mother to the most important people in their community: As a midwife must give them every month, the first three babies born at the wall of the city - that's the law. No one has ever dared to rebel against this law and the rulers beyond the wall. But then Gaia's parents are arrested, and the girl goes on a quest for the secret of the city beyond the wall - and the fate of the disappeared children ...
It is a ruthless world in which the sixteen-year-old Gaia grows up. Everything is rationed, and everyone dreams of a better life. But this is only reserved for a select few who live in a mysterious city, the enclave, behind an insurmountable wall. All others must be satisfied with what they allocate the enclave. The price is high: Each month must be given the first three babies born at the wall. Those who refuse will be punished with death, particularly midwives, such as Gaia and her mother. But then one day be imprisoned Gaia's parents. For the young girl breaks a world, and she begins to ask questions: What happens to the lost children? As Gaia secretly in search of answers enters the forbidden city, for she begins an adventure full of danger, and she makes a discovery that the fate of the children and the future of the people will change forever ...
far, I like very good and I'm curious how it goes. :-)
