Default Battery drain

My battery dies if i didnīt start the car for 1-2 weeks, so i measured the battery drain.

When i connect the multimeter itīs about 0.6A but it falls down to ~70mA within a minute and stays there. I think 70mA a little to much, isnīt it?
If i pull the Fuse 8 (Courtesy lamps) it falls down to ~25mA.

Is there something wrong with the courtesy lamps or is that normal?

P.S.: If i turn on one of the courtesy lamps without key-in, after ~10 minutes i can hear a relay clicking and the courtesy lamp switches off automatically. Maybe this relay is bad? But i donīt know where it is
