I couldn’t meet Evan in person. His colleague was diagnosed with Covid, hence Evan had to be tested and self-isolate until he got his test results. Evan is another match on OkCupid. He’s originally from Australia, but has been in Berlin for quite a while.  Instead of meeting we spoke for an hour via Video......
I switched my dog’s diet a few days ago. He got bored of his organic, raw meat diet (yes, he is a bit of a diva!) and I switched over to a mix of kibbles and wet food. He’s loving it, but the small downside is that changing his diet gave him diarrhea. In case......

We met for a drink (non-alcoholic for him, as he isn’t drinking) in Mitte and then went to explore the neighbourhood. We walked around quite a bit and Adam showed me his favorite......
