And I’m not kidding. For all the newcomers: the fact that it poured this morning but stopped by 8 am and that it is coming down at 17:20 in absolute buckets, while it was grey and cool today, is great weather. Any day that I can run errands without getting soaked is indeed a great [...]

For the third day in a row Berlin is having absolutely glorious weather. It’s warm and sunny in the day and cools off and is comfortable at night. I have just moved the French doors to the patio to the tilt position and I still have two of the skylights open. I spent several hours [...]

Of course there is an automatic extension for Americans out of the country on tax day (for filing, and we expect a refund, therefore no need to estimate taxes) but how strange that in Germany if one uses a professional preparer (and we will be using the German’s firm) the tax filing deadline shifts to [...]
