12 of 12 June

Time for another 12 of 12. And today I almost forgot about it... Thank you, Maik, for the reminder! :) That's the reason why there are no morning or afternoon pictures this time. lol Once again, thank you to Chad for the wonderful idea!

Here we go...


1) 18:49
Chaos on my desk - multi-tasking with two computers and heaps of paperwork.


2) 18:55
A hastily prepared dinner, tastes better than it looks. lol My stomach had been growling for a couple of hours. I didn't have lunch and spent 4 hours at the library today, both things that make you pretty hungry. Crisp bread with Nutella - yummy...


3) 19:10
27.4°C in my apartment. :o


4) 19:11
The two pieces for Saturday's choir concert in my hometown. I had to practice them today since I haven't had too many rehearsals for this project and both works are pretty contemporary, thus a little difficult to sing and memorize...


5) 19:20
On my way to choir practice. (Not the same choir as mentioned in 4)...)


6) 19:21
Dresden's main train station.


7) 19:23
The spire of one of Dresden's famous churches.


8) 21:24
Some green in the middle of the street. The one tree in the middle struck me as odd since it's practically leaf-less...


9) 19:25
Almost there...


10) 21:45
After choir rehearsal. Apparently, for some of us, including our conductor, singing for two hours wasn't exhausting enough. lol


11) 22:50
On my way home - temporarily halted...


12) 23:07
Back home from the choir rehearsal I'm watching the last few minutes of tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy (3.11) on German TV.


13) Bonus pic: Secret
Shh, don't tell...
