All the photo's in this entry were taken at the Opel-Zoo this morning while walking around.
Note how many silver & black cars there are parked here....
Firstly, we woke up this morning to a time change, we gained one hour with daylight saving - this means I'm now one hour behind everyone back home in South Africa.... secondly woke in a strange bed...we'd slept over in a hotel in Frankfurt as we attended a 30th birthday dinner of another South African friend.
What I love most about sleeping over at hotels are the breakfast's in the mornings.. we were not dissapointed...I decided on two bowls of cereals, nuts, fruits and yogurt above the scrambled eggs, toasts etc. I think my breakfast added up to about 10 WW points - whereas at home I normally eat a 3./4 point breakfast...but as it was my anniversary and I'd planned all of last week for this day, I decided to enjoy and not think about the number of points.
Last night while in the taxi from hotel to the resturant we saw a zoo along the way, which we'd never seen or heard of before. I asked Heinz if we could pop around to the zoo instead of rushing back home after breakfast as it was such a lovely warm autumns day out. He said he would take me there...as it was my anniversary....LOL.
Germany is looking so beautiful at the moment, I don't get to really enjoy the beauty as I drive to the gym and back home everyday - this weekend driving down the autobarn and seeing how beautiful the autumn trees are at this time really lifted my spirit, I kept on saying to Heinz * oh my word, what a beautiful world we live in,.....Look at that tree, look at how beautiful that hill looks * and so I went on and on for the hours drive there and back...like a stuck record!!
I've been home two weeks today...I'm going to be totally honest with you all...I've struggled getting back into my life here after the time with family...I've been in a bad space, and have been so angry. Poor Heinz has had to deal with the brunt of my anger...it's as if I'm angry with him for me being in this situation. Driving home after the few hours at the zoo, I felt the anger leave my body...I came home feeling so much better. What does this tell me...I HAVE TO GET OUT MORE, I cant sit at home day in and day out, no matter what the weather outside...
