Josh update

It's been a while ... 
So here's Josh today when I came home from Berlin ... 
He was bouncing around like mad and then he was just cuddly. 


I'm so happy to be back home, all the kitties are ok and I'm ok again, too. 

The Musical Mama Mia! was fantastic! What a show! Great actors and great music. OK it was ABBA, it IS great!

Berlin is an amazing city. We've seen a lot, yesterday we just watched people...nothing more. It's wonderful to do this...

I think I told you we've been invited by Wolfgang's cousin. So no hotel would be needed, he told us. 
He's a single . That's ok. But the flat - if I would call it like that. Dust and dirt wherever you are. And the smell!
We had to sleep between snakes, spiders, lizards and scorpions together with 2 big dogs, his cousin and dozens free running mice. We couldn't get a hotel room because of the holidays so we had to stay there for 3 f..... nights. 
I never felt so dirty in my life. We couldn't use the bathroom because of hairs on the floor, water and something nonedescriptly around the toilet and the bathtub, there was no shower so Wolf and I went to a swimming pool nearby to get a shower. It was pure horror. When we came back home today I was in the shower for more than 1 hour and now -  looking at our flat  - I feel like a queen. I don't have to mention I didn't sleep more than 3 hours the last days and now I'm so tired, I can't sleep. Good for me. Time to catch up with my wonderful and very much missed f-list. 

I'm so glad knowing you around. Now I'll enjoy my beautiful life here more than ever! 

Love and lots of hugs, zillions of stars and all the best from my roof-top
Julchen and Luna

wow... that's horrible. i can't even imagine something that bad, you'd think he would have had more consideration for guests. that's just disgusting!

Oh, the flat sounds really horrible! But it's good, that you still could enjoy Berlin and Mama Mia.

And now: enjoy your cats and your home! Good night, Julchen.

Eeeeeek! I'm so glad you're back in your own home... with your own shower and bouncy, snuggly kitties.

Josh and Luna look soooooooo soft!

*hugs and cuddles*

Sounds like you had great fun and a warm welcome. I want to see the film of Mamma Mia! It just looks like such fun!

Hugs,
Rach

Well, look at it as an adventure. And you obviously appreciate your own home now that you're back!

Mama Mia! was fun. :)

Loving those kitty pics!

What lovely pics of your kitties. I bet Josh was glad to have his rescuer back home!

What a nightmare experience. My brother and his wife are like that and we visit only when it might cause problems in the family if we don't. Yuck! I'm glad you are back in the comfort and shower of your own home.
*hugs*

I've seen the film 3 times and I just LOVE it! Don't miss it, sweetie! It's simply fantastic!
All I can say is Mama Mia!

*hugs back tightly*

Uhg, how wretched for you all to have to stay in a place so filthy. I'm very glad you're home, sweetie, back with your beautiful kitties.

Oh dear, what a disappointment that your weekend accommodation was so awful.. but you enjoyed Berlin, and the show, and that's good.. and now you can snuggle down in your own clean bed with your kitties.. xxx

Ha ha! I loved your story, Julchen (and loved the news on dear Josh, too), about your stay with Wolfgang's cousin. I have been to stay with hosts whose idea of a welcoming place to stay does not match my own--the worst was a house with lots of dog fleas, to whose bites I am very allergic; I had burning patches of itches for weeks--but it's hard to complain if the hosts are gracious and hospitable (ours was). But I can well sympathize with your euphoria at getting back home.

Eek how awful being is such a dirty crowded place! Good thing to be home safe and clean with the kitties.

[identity profile] primula-baggins.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww, the kitties are like "Mommy's home! Yay!" lol!

OMG, how awful about the room you had to stay in. I think I would have slept in the park! Hehe. It's good you're home.

oh no! That sounds like terrible accommodations! I'm glad that you're safely home with your kitty! :)

[identity profile] mother2012.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Nothing like a little hardship. I'm glad your own flat feels so royal now!

OMG! So you didn't have a good time in Berlin! I do not know what to say - I am a terrible housekeeper but if I have company I clean up a little! I wonder if his Mom ever visits?

But you are home and clean and your beautiful cats look so happy to see you!

((hugs))

UGH! You poor thing. But I'm glad you're "there and back again" safe and sound x0x0x0

Sorry about the horrible conditions, but glad you enjoyed Berlin and Mama Mia. I'm sure the hourlong shower felt great. *hugs*

Glad the kitties are doing well. :-)

[identity profile] yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...I'm so glad Josh is doing OK. Is he completely well now?

Wolfgang's cousin may be a single guy living alone, but there is no excuse for having such a filthy flat. And he didn't even clean it up when he knew he was having guests!! Yikes! I can see why he's single. What woman would want to live with a man like that.

Is the kitty in the bottom photo one of yours? It's such a cute pic.

It's terrable what you both went though how awful. Beautiful cat picture though *hugs you close*

[identity profile] elderberrywine.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that is one happy kitteh. I've never understood the "aloof cat" bit. Got one purring her head off next to me now. *gives her a skritch*

And sometimes, the best part about a vacation is coming home!

[identity profile] poplij.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, I'm sorry about the accommodations, no place better then home they say, well in this case I thing they are right !
Josh and Luna are absolutely adorable. *pets and purrrrrs* :)

Awwww wie süße.

Schön, dass du wieder da bist und dir die Stadt und das Musical gefallen haben.
Aber in dem Zimmer hätte ich nicht schlafen können :-/

[identity profile] aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 05:53 am (UTC)(link)


Good heavens! That really sounds horrible! At least you had the best time watching the show.
Oh and by the way, the free running mice wouldn't have been a problem for you if you just had set the snakes free, you know? ;P (Or you could have caught some as a souvenir for your kitty-babies.)

I'm glad you are back home!

*smooooch*

[identity profile] aliensouldream.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm so sorry dear! I hope it didn't spoil your trip. It's so awful when you can't even relax enough to sleep. I'm glad you enjoyed the musical and Berlin.

Josh looks wonderful! He is thriving on your loving care. Is that your other kitty? She looks so sweet.

Relax and enjoy your lovely place and affectionate kitties.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip in Berlin and the musical, despite the horrible "flat" you had to live in. I wonder how can a person live in such conditions.

So you must have felt so happy to get back home and find a true home and cuddly kitties!!

*pets Josh and Luna*

*hugs you tight*
