If you thought, you’d get away today without reading another blog entry, then you’re wrong. Theres something, I have to tell you about, and please read carefully, cause I am doing it a bit different from how I would do it normally.
Imagine, you are sitting on your balcony with your friends, its a nice summer evening and drinking your beer as usual… beneath your balcony, there is a small street, leading to the city and beside your house, there is a small ground (obviously lower than the street), where all types of plants are growing. 3 People are coming down the street, talking and loughing.
Suddenly, one of the person, starts running towards a bush that stands beside the free ground, stumbles right into that bush, screams “Huiii” and then falls into the pit full of thorny plants and stinging-nettles. He then shouts out to the other 2 People “Shit.. obviously deeper than I thought!” and stands up from his planty “bed”.
10 minutes later, another person from another balcony. You can see 3 people, stumbling through a pit full of stingy plants, one of them with a bright orange jacket labeled “Rettungsdienst” or in english “rescue service”. A small car is standing at the border of the pit and the 3 guys are fighting the plants with hedge shears, a small hatchet and a flashlight. They are wearing rubbergloves and seem to be in a rage against the plants, throwing them around, cursing out loud.
Thats how it might have looked, what happened to us today
What really happened: 2 friends of mine and me were walking through the city, coming along that pit full of plants with a small bush in front of it. That one friend said something like “Hey… who wants to jump into that bush?” and the other friend did. Perhaps he didn’t know that that “Field full of little flowers” (thats how it looked from the street) behind the bush was actually a 1.2m deep pit full of stingy plants. Guess what? Right… he fell right into it… but apart from a few smaller injuries he’s all right, so don’t worry.
Because he lost his glasses while doing that, we searched for those a long time. The other friend went to my place to get his car, I got some gardening equiptment and we started looking for the glasses (but without success). Thats partly funny, partly very sad, because the glasses are still gone.
Now have a good night.
