In July I wrote about Berliner Luft, the soap bubbles.
Now it is about Berliner Luft, a peppermint liquor that is best not drunken.
However, 2.5 years ago I bought this bottle to celebrate the fact that I’d purchased some “Berliner Luft,” as in a few cubic meters of air high in the sky.
Today, that air is surrounded by concrete, wood, windows, and all the other accoutrements that define a space that becomes home.
Today, I move house.
When I bought the bottle, I did a series of shots with colleagues and friends to celebrate the fact that I’d bought the idea of a home. Since then, I do believe that I haven’t had another sip.
Prost!
During the Covid-19 crisis, I am going to try and make a point of writing a blog post about an object in my home.
We’ll see how long this lasts.
Good luck with the move!!!
