After writing that last Blog, I wandered out of my room to see what the Brauses were doing. Herr Brause was trying to fix the cat door. It wasn't working out so well, and he kept muttering "shit" in English, which is funny. Then Frau Brause asked me if I wanted to go with her to buy some flowers for her garden. I did, and got my shoes.
I don't know why we don't have such varieties, but the flowers here are much better than ours. They have mostly geraniums, but about 8 different varieties, that they don't even look like geraniums in the end. Very cool. I've been slowly learning the names of some flowers here. And a lot of people stick (real) orchids in their windows, which is completely gorgeous. Makes me wish I had a green thumb, though the last time I tried I was probablly seven. We fed those puny carrots to the bunnies.
We ate dinner outside, and I helped prepare it. Preparing, meaning, I cut up a bunch of stuff (including a raw pork tenderloin, without gloves! and a pineapple) and carried it all outside. I think I mentioned earlier that Herr Brause has a sweet tooth. Last night we had the pineapple for dessert, and when he found out he says, loudly, "No Ice Cream?!?!??" but then he ate probabbly half the pineapple.
After dinner I got on the computer to write, as usual, then I watched a tv movie with them until it was over and I got ready for bed. The movie was about a newly rich family, who were really from the lower classes, learning the manners of the genteel class and being adopted by a Count to help save his castle. It was kind of stupid, but I was understanding it and I did want to find out what happened. Damn curiosity.
