Upcoming shenanigans

Tomorrow I have Adventures in Anaesthesia and Endodontics. It's all for the best, I suppose but that doesn't help my raging dentistry phobia and the fact that I shall be disappearing to the wilds of Saxony-Anhalt on Thursday, following two fairly major root canal treatments on teeth that are already in a state of gross disrepair. I see painkillers and antibiotics in my future.

Back to things Germanic: we're off to see the besties in Berlin then taking the train to Wernigerode, where we'll get the narrow-gauge Brockenbahn up the Brocken and into the Harz reserve proper. No real idea of what will transpire then, other than walking, beer and probably a lot of lounging around in the evenings and marvelling at the sheer quantity of double denim perpetrated in Tatort...

Maybe we'll see a lynx or one of the famous witches?
