As you've seen, I seem once again to have got myself immersed in a nearly insurmountable (though also intensely interesting . . . to me, anyway . . . ) project. Anyway, I'm so glad to have had a chance to come over for this, which also took me back to the "Gardening" post. The gardening post is absolutely lovely, a wonderful associative meander to a perfect final point: "But I am glad that nowadays we don't have any 'Victory' but only 'peace' gardens. Full of flowers. Just beautiful." Yes, just beautiful. A+.

As a Single in a male academic world it meant school teacher then, giving us love for English and being a fashion ladylike role-model, in a stern way.

You should send her up to Stampy McStamperson and his new shoes. Where she belongs, after all: defending you, not attacking you. ;)Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-25277882814893115862013-09-06T17:55:56.316+01:002013-09-06T17:55:56.316+01:00Oh, tell your Uberich to take a hike.

Wunderbar! (Is that correct? I don't know much... hardly any... German.) Really, it's quite impressive. So are all the books you've written.
