The days continue to fly by, while the nights drag on and on, mostly thanks to the nocturnal activities of the Siebenschlaefers, also known as edible dormice. They scurry around the roof, and it's apparently mating season. The mating ritual of the male dormouse involves lots of screeching. And apparently some kind of circular courtship dance. In any case, they've been waking me up repeatedly throughout the night for the past several days, meaning it's probably time for me to invest in ear plugs. I've also been making the poor decision to get my laptop out, and of course the middle of the night in Germany is early-mid evening in the US, which means a great time to catch people online.

And, with that, I must get back to work.
