Almondy!

Glutenfrei chocolatey deliciousness.

In a supermarket freezer near you...if you live in Berlin.

Keep your eyes open.

I love all the street art in Berlin.

I wish Dome looked like this.

shit just got real

also a little bit sad that I'm not "Matthew Citizen" on this too

Glutenfrei cupcakes

OMFG! Glutenfrei cupcakes from Cupcake, in Friedrichshain. They're made to order, so unfortunately I can't just buy one when when I feel like eating a giant, delicious cupcake. But that's ok. 

 

also beer update

So it turns out the reason that the children's beer is so awful is because it is supposed to have a shot of woodruff or 'small schnapps glass of raspberry syrup' added per bottle. 

Nutella update

Can't take her anywhere... on the very same day that Vicky first opened her giant barrel of Nutella, she's smoodged it on the lid. 

Seriously - Day 1

German Precision

Matthew "Citizen" Richardson

When Vicky and I registered our residence in Berlin, as all tax-paying Germans must do, the woman working at das Bürgeramt manged to mix up the two lines on my passport for 'name' and 'citizenship'. Luckily I think I am still accepted as a British citizen, not a British Ian.

This isn't meant to slag off the kindly Bürgeramt arbeiterin. She was incredibly patient with my bumbling German and exceedingly helpful, considering. I doff my hat to her. The blame lies entirely with me. When she showed us the completed form, after our interview, and asked if it was all correct, I was too busy ensuring she hadn't listed any religion for us, rather than checking my actual flipping name.
