July – September 2022

in no particular order … but saving Evi was the best thing (and the most nerve-wracking) ….
Some lake-swimming that was good. Summer time in our garden.
Claudia´s health scare.
the heat in the city.
Dyke march.
Pindi old but still alive then.
Long weekend on the Polish coast.

and a video I made during summer ….

   

looking back on 2022 /// January – February

I began the year with the sweet Nali and a tarot spread …

had a cool haircut

spent time in the dojang …. training with lists and vaccination only … seems so far away and unreal now …

working in the studio was frustrating, no ideas, no excitement, no motivation ….

Frankfurt am Main with C. / good japanese food and black belt training

cosy times with C.

a weird and also wonderful day trip to “Tropical island” with K.

a great trip to Lisbon with C. / was so happy to get out of Germany and to see and experience a different country … plus sunshine, good food, light, the sea …

then the war began … protest in Berlin

and color belt testing

Luxembourg

I spent three days in Luxembourg for two workshops in a school (Lycée Aline Mayrisch). One short one for teachers and one two – day long workshop for students.
I had been a tiny bit anxious about how I would feel doing this: a. in Luxembourg, b. in a school …
But, it was fine, more then that, it was a really good experience, in more the one sense. I surprised myself in more then one way and the students surprised me with their commitment and their willingness to try out what I suggested they do …

A good and also pretty tiring experience … of course the train trip to and from Luxembourg didn’t go as planned, but it never does … I was more then exhausted when I got back and felt ill immediately … 30 minutes after arriving home I was running a fever … How amazing a body works … it knew I had to get home before I could get ill …

So, Christmas in bed for me this year …
And it’s not so bad … I feel a bit better already and I enjoy not having to do much …
What a year it was …
