I've been away for four days and had the most amazing time:

• I visited my grandmother in my birth town. She wanted me to meet the steward who takes care of her house (with a lot of flats). My grandmother is 85 and did the job until last winter and got stressed by the whole thing (being an old landlady isn't fun when one is living in the same building with the tenants). But for years she told us (her children and grandchild) a steward would be to expensive. So, at the end of last year she finally gave in. Yeah. Last Thursday we met this man and we talked about the house and other stuff and had a nice dinner together (Portuguese, yummy). This guy is not only a friend of my grandmother (my grandmother is the godmother of his sister) but very nice and attentive. I'm very happy about the whole thing.


• The next day grandmother and I walked through my birth town and the weather was great and we had a really good time. I love this town. And as you can see it is quite charming. That river is the Rhine.



• I left my birth town, and visited a friend of mine I hadn't seen in three years. We had a wonderful time and a lot of fun catching up on each others lives. I was slightly boozed up when I went to bed that night.


• The next day I rented a car and drove to my schools youth holiday camp where a few people from my old school year met. We celebrated that we reached our A levels 20 years ago. Yes, I'm that old.
  It was great to met again. I'd laughed and talked so much that my throat was hushky the following day. We heard music from our teen years, made a barbecue, and had a lot of fun.


• Yesterday I travelled home and didn't do much else except snuggling up Mr. Kantorka and my little one. I went to bed with the little one (at 9pm) because I was knackered.


• I try to catch up with everyone ASAP. :D

If you're talking about the movie Weekend, BRING ALL THE TISSUES. It's so beautiful, srsly.

[candamira.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the one. Thank you for the warning, I'm well prepared. With a toddler around there is never a lack of tissues ;-). Because you need them ALL THE TIME!

[nia_kantorka]

*Hugs you*
I'm really looking forward seeing this film. Tissues or not. :D

Wow, that was a great four days!!! That's so good that your grandm found this young man, you must feel so relieved! And wow, your birth town looks so pretty! ♥

[nia_kantorka]

Oh yes, I had a lot of fun and am relieved that grandma has finally took his offer.
It's not that pretty everywhere but she shone in this pic. :D

It looks beautiful! My family and I made a little "roadtrip" along the Rhein recently, very pretty indeed.
Glad you had fun, dear :)

Did you took an IC train southwards? Traveling southwards from Bonn is one of the loveliest routes ever. And you get the best view at Loreley from the tracks.
Thank you! <3

No just by car, but it was lovely nonetheless! We went to see Burg Rheinfels/the Loreley and Rüdesheim on the way back (I live near Frankfurt :D), it was beautiful :D

[nia_kantorka]

I've visited once one of the multiple castles at the right Rhine side but I can't remember which one it was (it was around 19 years ago so that's ok;).

You live near Frankfurt? That's not far away. :D

It sounds like you really did have a great weekend! And yay for snuggling. :)

[nia_kantorka]

Yes, it was great. And I love to snuggle them both. :D

[gracerene]

Oh, it sounds like the best kind of break! Glad you had a fun and relaxing weekend hon! :D

[nia_kantorka]

Yes, it was a lovely break from family and work and now I glad to be back. :)

Sounds like you had a great time and hopefully you recharged and got a good night's sleep last night. Welcome back!

[nia_kantorka]

Actually I did (have a great time and recharge) and now it's late again. I'll never learn to get enough sleep for more than one night. ;)

[nia_kantorka]

Sounds like a wonderful trip. Lovely to spend time with your grandmother, she sounds wonderful. And the picture is beautiful! Great to see you here again ♥

[nia_kantorka]

I'm so lucky to have her still in my life.
You are the sweetest. Thank you! ♥

What a nice and relaxing few days it sounds you had. I love those type of away times. I'm glad you had a good time, but isn't it lovely when you get to return home to those you love the best.
