Am Samstag hatte Flora ihre Theaterklasse und die Putzfrau ist gekommen, um im Garten zu arbeiten. Ich habe die Bettwäsche gewaschen und gebügelt. Ich habe auch Schulsachen der Mädchen korrigiert.
On Sunday, we did something different. First we attended Mass in Blackheath, at Our Lady Help of Christians, but then we kept on going to a small wharf at the rivers Lea and the Thames. It was quite an interesting place and we saw new things.
Am Sonntag haben wir mal was anderes gemacht. Erst waren wir bei der heiligen Messe in Blackheath und dann sind wir weiter zu einer Werft an der Mündung des Flusses Lea in die Themse gefahren. Die Werft war sehr interessant und wir haben wieder etwas Neues gelernt.
There was a farmer's market at the Overground Station. Here you can see interesting mushrooms.
Bei der Zugstation gab es einen Bauernmarkt. Hier sieht man interessante Pilze.

Saturday sounds so wonderfully quiet and peaceful :) And Flora is doing a theatre class? That sounds fun! And Sunday was very adventurous. I'm always impressed with how much ground you cover in your expeditions/field trips! I remember Morgana visiting a German cafe or deli (something like the Biergarten) near where her cousin's boat was docked one time . . somewhere on the canal near the Olympic Park, I think. It's fun exploring and finding interesting places. You came across Michael Faraday again! And was that a real cat sleeping in the basket? Perhaps not? But I love the real kitty sitting on the top balcony. That was a very interesting boat sailing by . . who was speaking?! And it's nice to see blue sky and sunshine!
ReplyDeleteIt was, especially because we have to be on the road on Fridays. Yes, it is some acting school in another area. It normally costs money, but since we are here for such a short time, she gets to do it for free. She likes it so far. It is supposedly a good school with a waiting list in certain branches in the city, but she gets to go to a branch in a village nearby (by bus), which did not have a waiting list. I think I remember a photo of some beer when Morgana did that. Wasn't that also a time she did some laundry the same day? Yes, Michael Faraday must have been a very interesting person. No, it was not a real cat, but sure looked like one. The boat looked somehow old (or a replica of an older vessel)? I thought it was neat. The sun felt so good after a day with mostly clouds.
DeletePeter and mostly Miriam were speaking.
