(Not So) Happy New Year

First of all … A Happy New Year to all of you loyal readers ;-)

Unfortunately our year didn’t start too good …
We picked up one (or a couple) of the nowadays quite popular Noro viruses and ended up
spending New Years Eve and Day in bed and/or the bathroom.
Especially the latter one you get to know quite well … but I guess I’ll spare the details ;-)
Anyway today is the first day that is kind if normal again and tomorrow I’ll try and actually start the year for the first time … back to work that means!

Meet and Greet with Peter Jenni

Yesterday I had a little meet and greet with Peter Jenni, the spokesman of the ATLAS experiment. He has given a sort of “understandable-for-everyone” talk in the Helmholtz Lectures Program at Humboldt-University of Berlin. Afterwards we’ve been invited to a little reception, where I had the chance to talk a bit to our btw. very nice spokesman about this and that … unfortunately no pictures have been made this evening :-(

Dishwasher Salmon

Another great cooking evening together with friends enjoying some dishwasher salmon!
Found the recipe in the stupid dungeons of the internet and had to try!
It worked out kind a well, maybe the salmon had a bit too much. But for a first-timer, just fine.
Just wrap your salom into aluminium foil and put it into your dishwasher and start the normal program (you might have to interupt it, not to cook the salmon too long).
Good dinner and certainly great fun!

New Personal Bowling Record


Even though or probably just because the weekend was kind of exhausting and didn’t offer a lot of sleep I managed to bowl a new all-time personal record.
In an amazing 9-strike game only interrupted by two very stupid open frames I made incredible 241 (in words: two hundred fourty one) points. Not being totally able to realise I increased my previous record of 222 points by almost nine percent!
With another friend increasing her record (greetz to Janine) and a personal daily average of 197 (191, 178, 241, 178) this was kind of a good evening for us :-)
