I’ve managed to get quite a lot done today, most of it at the same time. Write some notes for my dissertation, wash the dishes, a few more notes for my dissertation, spray cleaning stuff on the shower, sweep the bedroom floor, back to the shower to rinse. Who knew I could be so productive?
Last night Jan and I went to see out with some friends to see a… well, not really a band. A choir really, I suppose. An A Capella choir. But instead of choir music they sing pop songs. Covers of pop songs, songs using the tunes of pop songs but with the lyrics changed. They were very good and very, very funny. Unfortunately, most of their stuff is in German, but there were a few English bits too. Anyway, they’re called Füenf and you can find their website here in case you feel like checking them out.
I made cupcakes today as well. I even put little hearts on the top, in honour of Valentine’s Day. Jan and I don’t really do Valentine’s Day. It falls right after our “anniversary” (it still seems weird saying that when we’re not married), which is obviously way more important. And everyone knows Valentine’s Day is just a card manufaturers’ scam anyway. So we didn’t exchange any cards or gifts today. Instead, we took a break from our respective dissertations to eat cupcakes and drink coffee together. It’s always nice to spend time just being together, no matter what the occasion. But coffee and cake… I’m turning into a German! Oh well, happy Valentine’s Day anyway. Cupcake anyone?

Way to go on being all productive and such! I’m trying to get that going again this week as well.
ps. the cupcakes look yummi
Do want! I’ll have a coffee as well, if you please.
Sounds like a great day to me! (Any day with cake is a good day, don’t you think?)
Are you turning into a Domestic goddess on us?
*raises hand* I’ll take a cupcake! They look great! 🙂
Cupcakes look yummy. Go you on the shower cleaning, that is my most hated of jobs.
Even though days like that are so tiring, they’re also so rewarding! The cupcakes look SO good.
Productivity! I miss those times! Well done, it’s always satisfying to actually get through some things even when it is housework!
goodbadiffy – thanks, they were yummy.
S. Le – Here you are *hands coffee and cup cake*
pinklea – definitely! Mmm, cake.
Welsh Girl – unlikely. I had to do it all again this weekend after failing to keep it tidy in between.
Pauline – thanks 🙂
Ali – I would gladly clean the shower every single if it meant never having to wash another dish! The only thing worse than washing dishes is ironing.
sleepyjane – rewarding until next time anyway 😉
workingberlinmum – It is satisfying. If only I could actually keep things that tidy and not find myself looking at a pigsty two days later wondering why I bothered.
