Dear Sabine, sorry I haven’t written for ages, but I have had a lot of work recently and and I have been too exahausted to do anything in the evenings once I get home. Today is a bank holiday tough, so I have writing emails all day to try catch up with all my friends. Guess what! I have moved out my parent’s house! I have been living in my new flat for a week now, and I love it! I have already unpacked all my things and it’s beginning to feel like home. You must come and visit! The bad news is that I have split up with Sebastian. He has been traveling so much recently that we haven’t managed to see each other much and I have met someone else. He’s called Carl and he’s a collegaue from work. We have been seeing each other since the beginning of the summer. We have had three dates so far and I really like him! Anyway must go. Please write soon and tell me all your news. Love Sophie.
