The first few days in Berlin Peter and I were suffering terribly from jet-leg, that is we woke up in the middle of the night and just couldn’t go back to sleep. Sometimes we would start playing Rummy Cub in the middle of the night! On one of the first days it got windy and cold. We were out on this day. I soon did get very exhausted. Next day I started getting a bad cold. But when the weather improved and I did go out into the sunshine, I soon felt a lot better. But I think a bit of this cold was with me for nearly a week. Peter bought me some lovely flowers. We soon noticed all over Berlin there was a glut of flowers. You could buy flowers just about everywhere, beautiful fresh and low priced.

I loved these flowers.

Auntie, Sister. Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Mother and Wife of German Descent I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

  3. Ahh jet lag. I used to be able to pride myself in adapting to time changes so easily. But have found that as I grew older, I am less adaptable, especially when the days and nights are completely switched around. I can totally relate!

    Lovely flowers though!

  4. Ah, thanks for understanding, Mary-Ann. During the second week of my stay in Berlin I had my birthday. I did get some beautiful flowers then too. I might publish some more flower picture in one of my next posts.

    1. Danke Gislinde, Wir hatten gestern lieben Besuch und heute erwarten wir mehr Besuch. Ich finde es immer schön, Besuch zu bekommen. Bei uns ist es noch sommerlich warm, aber z.Z. kommt eine Menge Regen herunter. Ich hoffe du hast es drinnen angenehm warm, wenn es draussen so kalt ist. Lieben Gruss, Uta.

  6. The thought of you and Peter playing card games in the middle of the night and him buying such pretty flowers to cheer you up when you were feeling under the weather……that is so very sweet! Lovely to see such companionship after so many years of being married 🙂
