Take some time...



..., the receptionist told me on Tuesday for the appointment at the doctor in Wolfsburg on Friday.

Time... 60 cent per 30 minutes. Heck, that hurts!
But, nahhh...
I parked just across the main road in a side road, for free. Price: 8 minutes walk to where the expensive parking starts. Yay!

I had two books with me and certainly I was way too early so I had a look around the place... and knew where I wanted to go after the appointment! :-)

I made myself comfortable (well, as comfy as you can get in those norrow waiting-areas) and started reading. The book Ingo´s father gave us, "The dig tree" (in german). It´s about the first walks across Australia. Interesting, but the author, Sarah Murgatroyd, goes into every single, tiny, little,... detail. Exhausting! And I hardly can differ about which group I´m redaing at the moment! I was hoping to finish the book this morning there.

After just 15 minutes they called me in! In my town "take some time" means something different, for sure!
I certainly was happy, though!
Afterwards I went straight to the two-buck-shop I had just discovered before!
I just loooove that!

And I got some pretty stuff for my advent-calendars.

NOW???! It´s only July!, you think?

Yep, quite right. But whilst my friend is running around in panic in November - which means btw in cold, rainy, nasty weather when it´s getting dark early - together with heaps of others in panic, searching for presents, desperately!

Then... I sit in my warm room and just grab the bag of little presents I gathered here and there all year round. Gathered not on purpose but when seeing something by chance, thinking of the people I will give them to.
I prefer my approach. It´s light and easy and fun.
And it takes "no time at all" ;-)

And I also got something for me, too. I mean, it came to me and made me do this title:



Guess you know which color I like best :-)

What a good day! What a good planning at the doctor´s place!
