Thanks for giving me the courage to make that jump.<br />@Gracienne - Ah mais j'en rêve déjà - ma propre cuisine dans la quelle je pourrais préparer quoi que ce soit quand je veux.<br />@Barbara - I think people have the wrong impression that living alone is somehow really lonely. I'm someone who needs a balance of being alone and also with others.

I'm defintely someone who needs their own space so very likely, anything I find will be an improvement. <br />@Rose - C'est charmante cette histoire avec la portière :-) Pour déménager, j'espère trouver quelque chose près du centre mais j'essaie de rester assez flexible avec le quartier pour avoir plus de possibilités. Mais j'ai une préférence pour Charlottenburg qui est devenu mon quartier ou sinon Schöneberg ou Kreuzberg. On verra..<br />@Rosa - I'm hopeful the weather will improve. Yesterday I was disappointed because I wanted to test my new camera outside but it was just too wet.<br />@Abbie - So it finally worked to leave a comment! I found that graffiti really lovely with the yellow flowers. Berlin today is defintely an improvement on yesterday where it poured with rain all day. Still, cake is always welcome.<br />@Marly - Thanks for your visit. I'm glad you like my photos as at the moment, no sun makes it difficult to get interesting contrasts and shots.<br />@Taste of Beirut - It's true that Berlin certainly is a place for artists. Compared to other capital cities, or even places in Germany, the rents are low and the possibilities endless. Sometimes that makes it difficult to choose. Your words reassure me; sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing but being cautious won't help me to achieve what I want to. Oh, I don't know the reine de saba and will have to look it up. The café was lovely and I'd like to make a trip back there soon.<br />@Julie - I thought of you and your crazy ex-flatmate and that helped me to decide to move out. There comes a point where you can no longer close your eyes to things that drive you crazy. Knoing I need to find a new place soon helps to motivate me. The problem with food blogs is that you're always hungry - best not to look at them on Sunday evening when everything is closed!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-39458896514525810302010-05-15T18:43:34.754-07:002010-05-15T18:43:34.754-07:00Hurray for all the changes! you're going to do...Hurray for all the changes! you're going to do great.

You know deep down what you need out of life.<br />That cake looks great and reminds me of a reine de saba, a classic French cake.
