Tellytubbie land

April 30th, 2004 1 comment

This is tellytubbie land near the office – little hills, fake looking hedges, just needs some plastic flowers, bunny rabbits and of course some tellytubbies. Haven’t stated watching rubbish telly with Sophie yet, but I can tell her they live here. Unfortunately the Mongol Hordes have set up camp nearby. Beautiful day here today – about 23 degrees they’re saying.

UPDATE! Oops! Far from being invading Mongol hordes – this was the set up for Duesseldorf’s EU Expansion party on Saturday! Bit of a Faux Pax in anyone’s language.

The new apartment!

Smaller than the old place but smack in the middle of town. Walked there from the office at lunchtime today in 10 minutes!

Hey! – just found our new apartment in Dusseldorf!

700m to work – I think I can walk that? Yes I did actually measure the distance on the map! Just viewed the place half an hour ago but we agreed to take it immediately. It is a bit smaller than the place we are in and we will miss the beautiful trees and gardens but we want to be in the heart of town.

The apartment is right in the Media Harbour area near great buildings like the Frank Gehry Zollhof buildings below. My excitable architect sister Helen naturally assumed the apartment was in the Frank Gehry buildings, but I’m afraid not! Will post a pic later!
