Feeling fairly german....
Having spend a few days in my home country made me realize again, how German I still am after all this time. It´s good characteristics, obviously, I hold on to. Mwuahaha....I´m going to take over the world!!!!!! Ehm.....Just kidding....... ;)
My holiday at home (I mean my family´s place) is pretty much coming to an end. It was a fairly quiet time, though not uneventful. Of course, there was Christmas, but that´s not the special thing about my time here, since everybody was celebrating that. No, the special moments were more placed around this.
For example, I found myself on Christmas eve in the church with an alto recorder in my hand playing "Silent Night" and I think I haven´t felt so out of place for a long time. I was surrounded by pubescent teenagers that were giggling about things I don´t wanna know about and I was crouching in a corner coz there wasn´t really space left for me. Afterwards I had the gratitude of my sister and of an elderly nun, who used to live in Zimbabwe and wanted to practice here English on me a little *sigh* I suppose that´s what Christmas is all about. Made my sister happy....
Another event was the visit of my sister best friend, her husband and her little daughter. The girl is 5 years old with long blond hair and the interested reader sees already where this is going...exactly: They were going to perform a private mini nativity play in our living room with her being the angel! Of course there are plenty of other roles in it, so I found myself having to read the part of 5 shepherds. Felt a little schizophrenic afterwards......But the part where I almost fell off my chair was, when the dad, who happend to be in his 50´s, with a big beer belly and fat finger was picking up a soprano recorder(this really tiny one made for slim kids fingers)and played along for the background music. I know this guy a little and the way he concentrated on his act, nodding dedicatedly his head to every note he played, made me almost burst out with laughter. Funny that,ey?
Altogether, I´m quite happy to leave this place of madness behind now, and return to my own place..... *bliss*
