• 16.5.: Made two mix CDs, had strawberries with Nesquik dessert for breakfast. Then we went to Kopfing and walked the Baumkronenweg (it was incredibly windy on that tower). It was ok but exhausting. Marita and Kathi picked me up at 7:30, gave me a flower crown and played some music. We drove to Marita's place and I got a surprise picnic on the rooftop garden! Super nice, with delicious homemade food. And birthday presents: a lovely cat pillow and a plant. Ann-Katrin arrived, Hansi as well. When it got dark we went down, joining the others who were having BBQ. I had a s...
