We’ve returned home after an extended stay with the family and the in-laws. I had a lot of school work waiting for me, but was sick for a couple of days. Now all that’s left from the Christmas holidays is three days – and a lot of work…

As usual, it was nice to see families again and to spend some time with old friends over the holidays. We rang in the new year with our usual game of RoboRally and a walk in the woods – in the snow! Snow in Northern Germany is a rare occurence, but we got some 10 to 15 cm between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
