Random thoughts: Moving and landladies

As I decided to move out of the flat I’ve been seeking a single room in a houseshare or something similar. Fortunately there are numerous places to look for rooms to rent in Munch that it shouldn’t have been too much of a trial. However, the first room I saw I was virtually barred entry into the flat by the person renting the room. I think he had it in mind that he wanted some fit bird and I didn’t fit that criteria. After all of 5 minutes I left as it was clear I wasn’t the person he wanted to rent his room too.

My new bike panniers


I hate to follow stereotypes, but when I’m down I do go shopping. And my things to buy are shoes and bags. This time I’d set my heart on a set of bike panniers, which is close enough to a bag in my world. I’d been into Radl Bauer (a bike shop in Munich) and spied these funky panniers before. But as I had a basket on the back of my bike I put them to the back of my mind.

Angels & Demons


I went to see Angels & Demons, or Illuminati as it is known as here, last night and I got one of the comfy seats in the balcony at Cinema (Nymphenburger Str, Munich) definitely worth the extra money to watch the film in relative luxury. The advantage of Cinema, is that they do Original Version (OV) films, so Müncheners get the chance to see it in the original language without sub-titles or dubbing, definitely a plus.

Hello

Well, I’ve decided to join the hoards and start my own blog. Why? I’m not really sure at the moment, maybe because I’m now single and hope to travel and want to share where I go and what I get up to. Or maybe I want to connect with more people. At the moment I’m in Munich, but I’ll be leaving here at the end of July and then who knows what’s next.

Maybe I’ll go on a round the world trip for a year, or a shorter 6 month trip. Or maybe I’ll just go back to the UK, find a job, get a flat and join the rat race again.

To use a cliché, my life is an open book!

Hopefully, I’ll be sharing photos from Munich and other cities I visit, food or recipes that interest me, links, films, I’m not really sure yet, but it’ll probably be very random, hence calling the blog Half a Dozen of the Other (someone else has six of one).

Enjoy
