Post Oktoberfest Depression

With the closing of Oktoberfest and the departure of most of our guests, it's very quiet on the homefront - too quiet actually. In addition, it's somewhat depressing. Since our move to Munich, we've been preparing the house for the arrival of our friends. We've bought beds. We've bought outdoor furniture. We've bought candles and sheets and towels. Oktoberfest was an event on the horizon. And now that it's gone, it's like the 26th of December.
