(Not So) Happy New Year

Berlin

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!

Merry Christmas

Family & Friends

just wanted to wish all my loyal readers a Merry Christmas and a lot of cool presents ;-)
I certainly got som cool ones … I might write some more later.
Now I gotta go eat some more Christmas lunches/dinners … puhhh!
Enjoy!!!

Discworld – Interesting Times

Books

Another good one from Mr. Terry Pratchett continuing the Rincewind series …
A whole new adventure of the “Wizzard” on the home continent of his old tourist friend Twoflower … anyway I am drifting away!
It gets a bit random at the end of the book but still it’s a nice story and of course also the beginning of a new one ;-)

Meet and Greet with Peter Jenni

Berlin, CERN, DESY, Humboldt Universität

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 :-(
