Jim & Katie in Berlin

Why the obscure Blog title? It’s a literal translation of Kreuzburg (the area of Berlin we’re living in) – the sort of literal translation you have to put up with when you can barely string a sentence together in German and have to rely on automated online translation thingies.

We’ve got ourselves one of these new-fangled Skype phones (telephony over internet) so you can call us when we’re on line, or leave a message when we’re not, on the following number:

020 8123 8341

We’ve chosen a London code, so call costs will be as if you were calling us in London. If, like us, you live at the cutting edge and have Skype, just ‘Skype’ us at jimnkatie, which is absolutely free. Whatever will they think of next?

K will keep her 0794 116 9017 number when in the UK, but we’ve both now got German mobiles:

Jim – 00 49 1577 682 7829
Katie – 00 49 1577 681 0739

Best not to ring these mobiles unless it’s urgent, and you are able to extend your mortgage easily. Also, make sure you get the permission of the person who pays the phone bill, unless you’re calling on your employer’s phone, obviously.
