There were seven of us for breakfast at mine on Saturday morning, including Dominik's girlfriend, over from Germany for three weeks. Clemens, Carol, Axier and I caught a bus and spent Saturday afternoon browsing in "retail park" for clothes. Axier and Clemens came away with new jackets. Clemens declared it would henceforth be potato dinner month.
Come Sunday, Axier is now sporting a new home-fashioned 'do that has been affectionately called "Punky". Why not? It has also come to our attention that he has quite a red beard, and "Barba-roja" is rolling quite nicely off the tongue.
Ariane, Clemens, Carol, Axier, Kale and I headed to the youth hall where Clemens and Axier volunteer, attached to a church in one of the less privileged areas of Edinburgh. The hall is the perfect hangout place, as imagined when you were a kid in the eighties.
Axier and Clemens recently passed their rock climbing instructor certificates. We had GREAT fun on the indoor rock climbing wall.
The kids have great facilities.
We then tortured the karaoke on the games system for a while - something I spent three months in Japan training for.
For dinner we heated ourselves some pizzas and cherry pie from the supermarket next door, then settled in on the beanbags to watch "Basic Instinct". What a shocker, piece of plastic movie :D
I also watched "Top Gun" with some other friends recently, and I have to say, revisiting 80s and 90s blockbusters is a great shared experience.
