Surprise surprise to all my readers, I'm in Canada...Margot traveling to a new place, how unheard of.  I did a thing on Sunday (yes, a thing!) and went to a buffet brunch (yes, a buffet!) to basically test the limits of my appetite – I actually realised I can, contrary to popular belief, reach a point where my appetite subsides, so that's fun.  The place we went to for brunch is at an old mill, and has gushing water alongside it, which is surprisingly appeasing and peaceful despite the violent currents.

Now, we probably should get out of the habit of sleeping until 11am...That's something we have not done since we were 15 and something we should abolish from our daily routine. However, on the plus side, we've become rad night owls, so there's something. We were living in a sweet apartment with some awesome roommates, the majo...

There's always two sides to everything, right ? Berlin can be the same.
