Not too much going on in week 06. The highlight certainly was the birthday of our daughter. Finally a real teenager. She had wished for a New York Cheesecake and surely got one.

A cheesecake with a browned top is partially sliced, revealing its creamy interior. A large knife rests beside it on a table. In the background, there is a plate with additional dessert slices.



To celebrate she took a friend over to our house in the countryside and we went to the NaturTherme Templin for the Spa and Sauna. Since we got there early it was empty and I had the first two session of sauna all for myself.

Got some reading done and a total of 4 sauna session.

Monday was again family dinner day and K1 was over for and stayed for a session of Trival Pursuit.

A black and white photo of a Trivial Pursuit board game set up on a table. The game board is divided into colored pie-shaped wedges representing different categories. Game pieces are visible on the board, and a box with cards is open nearby. A person is partially visible, seated at the table.
Two glass jars on a table; one filled with sliced cucumbers and olives, the other with a red paste. A small bowl with a spoon is nearby. In the background, a red armchair and a grey sofa are visible.

Mid week it started to snow seriously in Berlin and by Thursday we had about 15cm of snow. As it was also cold enough the snow stayed and nicely covered the city in a white blanket. That also amazingly quieted down the whole city.

Friday my best friend Sam was back from her long trip to Australia and we had breakfast together. Sooo good to have her back.
