Steffi's garden party

Wonderful garden party last night organised by Steffi. Really nice catching up with everyone from the  Institute in an informal setting. I particularly enjoyed seeing the young boys sharpening sticks with their knives for cooking the damper over the fire. The slack line was a challenge but a lot of fun. Also great sing-a-long led by Steffi and Philipp, beside the fire. A great night. I was not quite sure where I would catch a cab to get home but came across an ice-cream cafe still open at 11 pm run by a friendly Portuguese owner. The cab driver, originally from Tikrit in Iraq, was also very friendly and keen that I use his services from Marburg to the Frankfurt airport in two weeks!
