my sad external hard drive

I brought my computer´s external hard drive here to Germany, since it has all my music and photos from the last few years - my life, basically. For some reason it isn´t working. We´ve tried several adapters, and so far the best signal we´ve had is a flashing green light. The fan won´t kick in or anything. I am so worried about it! This morning Torsten brought it by to say he called his brother who thinks we can break it open and do some surgery. So scary! I know they know more about what they´re doing than I do, but it still makes me nervous. Anyways, I know it doesn´t sound like a big deal, but please wish my external hard drive a safe recovery! If it doesn´t make it I will be one sad panda. Thankfully most of my photos and music are backed up on my old computer at home, but not everything. That computer is also ancient, and I´m not sure how much I can trust it. We´ll see.

So another weekend is here. I was lame last night and just stayed here at the garden house. Went to bed before 11. But I´m still struggling with this cold, and want to take it easy. I wanted to sleep in so badly this morning, but woke at 8 and couldn´t go back to sleep for the life of me! My windows are so bright in here, and the one that opens to the east is directly by my bed. For once I would have loved another rainy morning, but of course the sun was shining brightly on the day I could have slept in! So it goes.

I´m leaving soon for Kiel to meet a girl Hanna, who is also an au pair learning German. She´s from Finland, and her English is fairly good. She wants to explore the city, as she´s only been here a couple weeks, so I think it will be fun for us. Maybe do a bit of shopping. See if we can find some live music. Who knows?

I think I´ll peace out for now. I need to find some food before catching the train.
