The German team played Sweden yesterday at the World Cup (Football, that is. Or soccer, depending on where you're from) here in Munich yesterday. K and I went into the city center to get some of the atmosphere:

 ... and they sure made a lot of noise!

 You should be able to listen to it with Winamp (I hope. I'm not a great nerd at this). This is the sound to the picture... on Marienplatz, not in the stadium! Pretty noisy, huh?
(And no, I haven't figured out how to make videos with my camera. I've only had it for a year now, so what do you want from me? Miracles?)

Last Saturday (wow! Time is flying... it's been a week already) I received a little packet from sunny California. And in it were... my SockapalOOOza socks! Made by my sock saviour Agnes! 

 I really lurve them! They fit just perfectly, the colors are so yummy, and I'm absolutely into this pattern! Simple yet subtle. Unfortunately, it's too hot these days to wear them... but the yarn is very nice (Knit Picks Sock Garden). Thanks Agnes!!!

These socks really came as a surprise. I know that my "original" sock pal had a lot on her plate (a PhD thesis, the renovation of the house she's going to move into, a pregnancy), so I told her she could take all the time she wanted to finish my socks. I'm not sure if she was aware I was assigned to a sock saviour... So, if you read this, I've got some socks now. So, hmmm... how should I say that without you getting me wrong? Well, if you still want to make these socks for you, I won't say anything against it! But if you decide to just skip it because you have enough other stuff to do (and I know that you do), I'll be fine too.

There are still no pictures of my knitting! I'll say goodnight with a picture of a few Munich sights instead.
