Personal Jesus

Crappy, crappy weather but a lovely day.

After a wet walk with a happy dog I joined fellow expats (including 2 blippers and 1 blogger) for a last girlie frühstück before the summer holidays. A little sekt was induldged in, as was much food - some healthy (strawberries & cherries) and some not so (schokocroissants and scotcheroos*) and of course coffee ohne ende. Together we managed to while away several hours and before we knew it we were all heading our separate ways to collect children.

But the evening was the main event of the day.

Depeche Mode in concert in Düsseldorf...

A hell of a journey getting there, concert traffic compounded by a bridge closure, joy, but we were there before the band came on fortunately. And then we sang ourselves hoarse for over two hours (and put up with some fairly dubious 80's dancing from the audience - but at least they were on their feet enjoying it).
In bed after midnight which made for a slightly grumpy Mr K as he had to catch a flight just after 7am.
