I am "still" in Berlin, and enjoying work a lot even if it's currently taking the best of me and waking up in the morning feels like righteous torture.

It's not that I am sleeping very well either. K, my very first boyfriend, whose place I was planning to crash for the week (even if he's still unaware of my presence in the country) has apparently changed his phone number, and it also looks like he's too busy to check his facebook. In the mean time, I am monopolising his wall with desperate messages and staying at an old collegue's flat, J, in South East Berlin. J is a very nice girl and does everything to make me feel at home, but she lives with her husband with whom communication is nearly impossible as my Hebrew is almost as non existant as my German...

Still he's a nice bloke (and even if I should't be saying that, a very fit one too...) and we share a joint together in the kitchen at night. I thought exhaustion was getting the best of me and was purely hallucinating when I first stepped in the flat as the kitchen table was entirely covered by a whole bunch of weed which wouldn't fit in my suitcase was I willing to take it home through the customs!

Thank God for the weed, though, because I am currently sleeping in a sleeping-bag on the floor of the living room, and should I precise that there is no door separating it from J and her husband's bedroom?
Yup. No door. No curtain. No nothing.

With my luck, of course they both have a high sex drive.
Fortunately, J is not a "screamer", but the hubby is a groaner. And a propper one too.
Lucky me.

So, each night, I lay there for a few hours, wishing I had taken at least a teddy bear with me, and thinking of England, literally. Well, at least of London, and of the lovers who are -or not- waiting for me back home... (Especially with the few messages I keep getting from French Guy and OG) ...and of what I could be doing to them right now.

And right now, I don't have the time/will/energy/German skills/room to be looking for a German one either while I'm here. Although, now I'm thinking about it, surely, in a big capital like Berlin, I could probably find another French one (I'm getting quite addicted to those, you see...).

I just hope that K will make himself known very soon, because I know I'll be insane by Sunday if I stay here, and it would be a shame to pay a hotel room for such a small matter...

Hmmm, so that rules out you being a German then. Or was that a red herring? What are your thoughts on Toblerones?

I should probably give up this trying to work out where you're from lark...you didn't acknowledge my post where I took at a stab at guessing where you were from. But you're obviously doing some film PR work at the moment? No? Something along those lines I'd guess. Nice to see you posting again after your brief break...gives me something to do in the wee small hours...

cant help thinking of you lying there on the floor while there having sex, dont you get the urge to flick your bean, maybe they hope you will join them, would you go for it if they asked you? don't know how to write, by its something, monage a trois, I think, is that right?

Devoted,
Still investigating I see! Not a red herring, I swear my German is really quite poor...
About Toblerone now (what a random question by the way) I used to love them, but gave up years ago because of I had an indigestion from eating way too much of it... You know the 1Kg bars?
About work, something along those lines indeed, but only if those lines are very long...
I hope I am not too infuriating!

Toblerone might seem like a random question...but that's me still investigating. Starting to wonder if you are Swiss...might be part of the reason you speak so many languages, although I thought you German would be better in that case.

So, I guess I'm thinking Swiss or Scandanavian at the moment. But that's mainly because I'm sticking to western europe to begin with...

And you're not infuriating at all! Intriguing yes, but not infuriating! ;-)
