... read Harry Potter 7
... quit my job
... learned how to kill a fire
... started dissolving my household
... baked a little
... booked a trip to NZ via Manila
... helped Alex move to Nürnberg

When we packed Alex's stuff into the truck on Thursday, we left a lot of trash at his old place. For some reasons, Alex seems to believe that the new tenants don't want to get rid of it themselves. So he borrowed my car and did the job. I know it would make for a somewhat funnier entry if I could write that he crashed my car, but he didn't. Sorry.

Later today, I went to Axel's birthday party. He lives in an apartment-sharing community, and obviously they get lots of visitors: They had two scarfs and three or four jackets that people had forgotten there in the last year. One of the jackets even had a pair of (broken) glasses in one pocket. Alex tried to auction all of it, but the highest offer was around 40 cents. Nobody wanted the glasses. I know for a fact that I never left a jacket at Axel's place, but the whole thing reminded me of the Winnie The Pooh story where they had a garage sale (or forest sale, to be precise) and ended up buying their own stuff back... Seeing Axel in auctioneer mode was fun, though.
