I quckly got dressed and went downstairs. Julia's mum, Julia, Hannah and I piled into the car and drove to the supermarket, Tegut. We walked around and I got to look at the cheeses because we still can't find my favourite one from last time I was in Germany. We finished shopping and bought everything then loaded it into the car.
We went home and on the way we saw a green chair sitting on the side of the road, like hard garbage. We took it with us in the wheelbarrow.
When we got home, we all unloaded the car and then finished the biscuits Julia started making the day before and making some chocolate crackles for Christmas presents. We ate breakfast together, bread rolls with cheese and the like.
After breakfast we finished making the biscuits and layering on the chocolate. Julia and I ended up with slightly burnt fingers and with chocolate everywhere.
When Julia and I finished the biscuits, we drove into Marburg with her dad and went Christmas shopping. We parked at their Oma's house and then walked around buying little gifts. We ended up at the jewellery shop on the other side of the city and Julia's dad walked back and drove the car over because the line was so big in the shop. We bought another gift and then waited for her dad. We quickly jumped into the car and drove off.
When we drove into our village and their was a big Mercedes Benz truck broken down blocking the whole road. Julia got out and ran home because she was late for training. Julia's dad used to work with the man that was repairing the truck and spoke to him a bit. We had to reverse the car and drive the long way around to the after side of the village.
We got home and lunch was nearly ready to eat, so we sat in the kitchen and eventually had a carbonara style sauce with pasta. We sat and talked, then Julia's parents went and napped on the couch before Julia's dad went to work and Julia's mum started the Christmas cleaning.
The rest of the afternoon I spent knitting, helping clean and wrapping the rest of my gifts for the family. I drank coffee with Julia's mum and folded the washing with talking about Australia compared to Germany and so on...
Hannah had a friend over and we ate dinner together. We had bread with all the different cheeses. There was also mozarella... Yum. Paul was very ngry throughout dinner and I tried to cheer him up with a lollipop, but he was still mad. It provided us with a lot of entertainment throughour dinner.
I sat with Hannah and her friend and talked for a while, whilst knitting of course. I started my scarf today and I am nearly half way. Julia and I soon went to one of our friend's house and brought her our Christmas presents. We spent a while there and played with her rabbits.
We ran home and then I played UNO with Julia's mum and Paul. Julia's dad came home and played with us for a while, but he had to go back to work. Paul went to bed and then Hannah and I sat, watching Mama Mia and knitting. We sang along a lot and then evntually went to bed after 12.
Tomorrow is Christmas eve and we decorate the Christmas tree, then visit family and the family wants to take me to the Elizabeth church in Marburg if we have time.
I got a little four leaf clover incased in glass in my advents calendar. :)
