Went to the sun-drenched café after work. A wasp walked around my americano saucer, and I sat awfully still leaning back to get a photo of it.
The buddleia are still in bloom (the first of these flowers I saw started to blossom at the end of June). I hadn’t noticed how many there are in the neighborhood until my walk today.
Spent the evening around Gendarmenmarkt. Sat on a bench on the square and sketched the Schiller Monument. Caught a good view of the Plattenbau apartment buildings of Leipziger Str in golden hour light.
Watched: The Odyssey 🍿 - so loud!
First tall streetside sunflower of the season on the walk home
Saw Football World Cup final ESP - ARG (1:0). It’s been a long five weeks; I ended up watching many more games than expected (missing mostly the matches after my bedtime) - quite a lot of my free time. Looking forward to what I’ll do with those hours and my full attention span in the coming weeks…
Highlights of the walk downtown Berlin today: crows on the roof of Kanzleramt and knapweed wildflowers at the tram stop (plus got to ride in the brand new Urbanliner tram on the way into town).
Went to a new café today. Sketched the room near closing time. One of the baristas offered us some free pastries, so I showed her the tiny drawing when we were talking.
Been letting the Radiohead TV station on youtube run every once in a while. Can’t not watch Daydreaming whenever it happens to play, one of my favorite ever songs and music videos.
Sketched Champi on his balcony bed this evening
