it's been long since I've made a note on the blog...
So, what's happening over here? Well, the Easter bunny or maybe the bilby (I don't have a glue who it was) left some eggs, chocolate and pottery on the beach of the Baltic Sea for me to collect. The sun was shining it was quite warm for the season and we've had a few very relaxing days with some friends up there. Now we're back to work, as for me that means, making drawing of all the stuff I've calculated on a 190 pages for my industral hall project. (I reckon it will pile up to some 8-10 A1-format plans.) Hmm, and I hope to finish it this week, so I don't have to worry about it when Anna and I travel to Vienna this weekend. We'll visit a friend there who's doing some exchange program. I like this city and hope we'll get some nice Spring weather...
Congratulations to Penny and Neal for the successful wedding. I certainly enjoyed myself and the opportunity to meet more of Neal and Penny's family. Marie had promised to do a detailed write-up in this forum, but alas she welched. Suffice to say that Penny looked stunning and Neal, well, he scrubbed up okay. I urge interested readers to check out the photos on Neal's wedding page.
Other news from Gregland:
I've been accepted to present a paper at a conference in Italy in the middle of the year. This is very exciting for me and I'm hoping to bum around in Europe for a bit (again!).
We had a housewarming party here at the end of March. The theme was "So OZ it hurts" and we celebrated Australian culture with Oz music, pies, costumes, prizes and of course beer. Photos may yet end up on here somewhere.
I'm still persisting with meine deutschsprechen Lektionen. I have finally learnt how to talk about things that happened in the past using the present perfect (or conversational) tense. This opens up a whole new world of mistakes. (I feel very sorry for non-native English speakers learning about our peculiar past tense constructions like "I have had fun").
