M&M started with gardening in the morning while I tried to turn videos from my camera into photos. The 4K-Photos are short videos and you decide which moment to take. But the same procedure sometimes led to photos sometimes again to – now shorter – videos and only when I cut or edited this video-photo-bastard, it stayed a photo. It took some time to fix and finish that.
I joined the garden work for a while,
we had an outside lunch and later, Efan came. After a short tour through M&M’s garden and bee-watching
we went to the community garden for watering.
And then we had a recording session. Efan knows how to speak German, so I chose two hard parts and I think I got a good performance from her at the end.
In the evening, M&M and I made a short walk to get milk from a supermarket “SPAR” which is a bit funny for me, as I live on top of such a supermarket. We bought also some chocolates and I made a big mistake, because I focused too much on Australian production and only at home saw that “Jaffas”-chocolate from Allen’s is a Nesté product. Nestlé is my best-hated company mainly because of their cynical water-capitalism.

Today I cut
many “Bürgschaft”-videos and it was fun and nice.
I went shopping for the dinner with friends on Tuesday and was surprised how
hot it still can be! Besides this food, I also bought a chocolate spread, and
it is not that easy to get the right one. If it has no palm oil, it is imported
from Germany or Italy, if it is from Australia, it has palm oil and I only
found a small organic one at Cole’s which is not the best company regarding
their relation to farmers (and customers) as Markus told me.
Then there was something a bit weird for me:
Markus had given me a key for making a copy in that shopping center.
At home, I emptied all pockets of the rucksack and put those keys on the table.
Markus came home at noon and when I came down from “my” room to the table, the
keys were not there anymore, so I supposed he had seen them and put in the
right place.
So far the version that was stored in my brain.
Later Markus asked where those keys are and I told him this version. So, he was
a bit confused and looked for them where he could have put them.
Then I said I would look upstairs if I would have put them there somewhere and
just to be sure he could look again in the backpack. And there were the keys!
And even after knowing that I cannot delete the lively but wrong memory of
putting everything out in the kitchen, sorting it by stuff for the fridge,
other stuff for the kitchen, my stuff for upstairs and those key for the table,
including the “aha-moment” when I came down and the keys were not there
“anymore”
I am just happy that also before I was not especially proud of my memory and
didn’t rely too much on it, but still it is not nice to be fooled by myself.
263 Sydney 08 work bread friends 9.4.2019
Besides dealing with Singapore and Europe regarding routes and contacts to hosts I was responsible for baking the bread. Not only this was the first time, it also should be served for dinner with M&M’s friends Matthew & Paul. I am not sure if there is much to do wrong but still, I was glad when the product was ok and for the records, I made 6 photos

early baking 
mid baking, first tanning

…and after baking
and when Markus noted that he usually takes more pictures I made a second round.

Then M&M+M prepared the main dishes for dinner, M&P came, we had some conversation and a satisfying meal (maybe apart from Paul who is entangled in a low carb diet) and it was finished quite early.
