Me and my Flip Flops

Today, on Easter Sunday, I came to office with my brand new blue Flip-Flops which have pearls on it. Actually it’s still not that warm – in the sun you are melting after some minutes, of course, but in the shadow it’s still a bit chilly. Anyway, I’m a stubborn girl and with the beginning of April it’s summer for me in Gibraltar, over and out. And it’s pretty cool to walk in a short skirt, Flip Flops (with pearls!) and bad ass-sunglasses to office – then I don’t even care it’s Easter Sunday and the work I have to do in the upcoming time (most interviews). Anke, the social girl, ha!

But back to my Flip Flops. I was about to buy yesterday five pairs of it, but then I thought, there might always show up better Flip Flops during summer, so I just took two pairs. I know, I will find my perfect white pair with little shells on the thong which I use just for special occasions…actually, I’m wondering how I can use so many words on such a cheap mass production as Flip Flops (I googled Flip Flops yesterday and learnt a lot about them), but for me they are one of the typical noises in summer. Fffft-fffft-ffft – man, that’s awesome!

Downswing – Upswing – Rollercoaster…

I got some complains that I didn’t blog (the last years it seems…). A lot of stuff happened, and sometimes even me, the brilliant editor, can’t put it in words. Or don’t want to write it down. Goethe, my idol, said once some wise words like if you can describe a feeling it’s not true..or so, don’t remember the exact words, but my buddy Goethe always knows, what I mean. I adore him ^^ Whoever is able to read in German, have a look at his poem “Welcome and Goodbye” – it’s lovely! (And am I not an all-round girl, Goethe and Flip Flops in one blog entry…? )

Basically my world has been turned upside-down the last weeks. And that’s all I can say, you curious fans out there ^^

Anke discovers a new cocktail…ehm…

Yesterday evening I had a brilliant idea. I had some cranberry juice in the fridge and some Vodka, so why not mix it? And, surprise, it tasted awesome, and the colour! There’s nothing better than sitting in the hot evening sun and drink a pink drink made of cranberry juice and vodka…ehm…
On the way to the restaurant in celebration of a birthday I told my friends keenly about my newest discovery. “Isn’t that the drink you drink weekly called Cosmopolitan?” asked Henrik sarcastically and I was..words can describe what I was. FAIL, as we would say in Pokerterms. MEGAFAIL. Why should cranberry juice and vodka, made by Anke, anything have to do with Cosmopolitan, favorite drink of Anke!? God, I was owned, I can tell you, and rightly the butt of jokes last evening.

Plans

For summer I have some plans besides working, beach and party. To travel, for example. London, Geneve, Cologne, Amsterdam, India. Just for fun New York if it’s working out (one of my random ideas). Do something for the world economy and spend my money on the road. Things like that.

Ok, my dear fans, I’m off for now. Some work to do, some coffee to drink, some skin to be burnt.

Goodbye, I love you all
