Pumpkins and other things...

Now, it's official. My creative writing course appears on the university's homepage... I'm still pretty nervous about it, but I have been working on a course plan for the last two days, and I think it is coming along fine. The worst thing that could happen is that no students actually attends the class, or at least this is what I keep telling myself... :-)

We had a lot of rain over the last days (although nothing compared to what they had in Osnabrück), and unfortunately our tomatoes suffered greatly. Most plants have been snapped in at least one place, and I'm not sure how many will make it now. But on the other hand, my pumpkins are coming along great. When I bought that Hokkaido-pumpkin last year, I had no idea that it would be this easy to grow them...

Here are some pictures for your entertainment:

Sail 2010 - Bremerhaven

Today, I visited the Sail 2010 in Bremerhaven. It's a really big international festival of tall ships - over 200 ships from 15 countries were participating, among them the most famous of the world. It was pretty impressive, even though the weather put quite a damper on the whole thing.

As promised, I made a few pictures. Nothing overly exiting, but it should give everyone a good impression of what went on in Bremerhaven this last weekend. I'm definitely looking forward to the next Sail (with will be in 2015).
