Let's start with happy thoughts: Paris is lovely in the sun, I spent the day walkink streets, parks and gardens with my best friend - and as it is the first Sunday of the sales, most shops were open so we did shop too. I'm looking forward to a pleasantly busy week, with a week end away in the Dordogne next Friday, where I'm meeting up with my parents who are on holiday there at the moment. And, last but not least, I might have met someone special. Not official or anything now... but he seems pretty nice, smart and funny, and he seems to think the same of me... so we'll see how it turns out. Hope you ladies have some happy moments to share too!

I was simply in awe when I briefly visited in 1999...I did not expect it to be as stunning as I found it!! And the natural lighting of the place...as well as all the twinkling of the lights at night....SIGH....I will return I do have a question I would like to put out to those that live in London or have had sufficient time in London to provide some suggestions. I have a friend who plans to make a visit over to London in August or September...he is mainly interested in used/old bookstores. He is NOT...ahem...interested in Plays, old buildings, museums...or cold/rainy weather...LOL...he is making this visit to consider possibly moving to the UK/London area when he retires in a few years...[I have kept my mouth shut about his interests and what he will find in London...and the weather as he loves Florida weather]...regardless, I told him I would see if I could come up with some suggestions in terms of interesting bookstores. Thanks again!! Cindy

Cindy, we are sweltering in brilliant sunshine at the moment. But if your friend is not interested in plays, old buildings or museums and likes hot Florida weather all year round, why on earth would he want to move here? They have bookshops in Florida don't they?! Edited to say: Lib - that sounds good. Is this the person you were thinking of inviting out for lunch a few weeks back?

Talking about good news: I'll start studying for an International Master' degree at Humboldt University next year. It's called Master of Religion and Culture and everything about sounds simply wonderful to me. I would have done that much earlier but didn't have the qualification for it - due to some problems with the studies I did before and during the changes of 1989. Now they accepted all of my exams and the only thing left is a new thesis to write. I am so happy We must be still and still moving / Into another intensity

Nope. This other guy is not displaying any signs of interest, so I've given up on him - well, I still see him, as friends, as he's a nice guy, but that's it. We went to a party together last Saturday. The new guy and I used to go to high school together - although we don't remember each other from those days! And he is interested, quite clearly. It makes a nice change! 'The only difference between lunacy and genius is timing.' http://ishotlibertyvalance.wordpress.com/

Is this a post-graduate degree, then? Yes, it is. We've finally adopted the British/American system. The whole thing gives me a kind of Feuerzangenbowle-feeling. Does anyone know the old German movie Die Feuerzangenbowle? The title refers to the Feuerzangenbowle punch consumed by a group of gentlemen in the opening scene. While exchanging nostalgic stories about their schooldays, the successful writer Dr. Johannes Pfeiffer realizes he missed out on something because he was taught at home and never attended school. He decides to make up for it by masquerading as a student at a small town high school and quickly gains a reputation as a prankster. Together with his classmates, he torments his professors Crey, Bömmel and Headmaster Knauer with adolescent mischief. Rühmann, who plays Pfeiffer, was 42 at that time. Should I masquerade, too?

Posts: 1630 (06/30/09 17:05) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	So happy to read your good news, Clifton and Audrey. I wish you both lots and lots of luck. I've had a lovely afternoon; the children at our school are putting on a performance of Midsummer Night's Dream tomorrow and Thursday evening in the school grounds and it was their dress rehearsal today. It was such a joy to watch these 9 and 10 year olds performing Shakespeare with such delight. They've spent the last few weeks making butterflies and garlands of flowers, lanterns and toad stools; the school grounds looked magical. And on Saturday they'll be performing it in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey as part of the Abbey's 1100 year anniversary celebrations. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. Ah, that sounds lovely. Mr LD took some gorgeous shots of Glastonbury Abbey when we visited years ago. I can already picture the kids already on the ground. I have a beautiful b/w photo of Glastonbury Abbey prominently displayed in my living room. It is a gorgeous area to live. Poor Stella who's here visiting Chicago encountered rain & cold (50/60 deg F) yesterday. Poor dear, she's still recovering from a cold she brought over before her transatlantic flight.

It might not be right to post photos of the kids (unless they're already on the school website!) but to see the lanterns etc would be nice. Edited to say I'll be meeting Prince William next week. I'm aiming for the full set of royals. That's a joke - I'm really not. The queen and Philip were one thing but I really cannot think of any subject in common with an army-loving twenty-something.

Posts: 4705 (07/04/09 23:20) in her beautiful balloon Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I have a very urgent question for him: Was he among the groundlings in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in August, 2003? On the other hand - you better don't ask him. It would make an end to a now-6-years-old discussion among a group of 20 people. It could easily go on until the end of their lives. And I'm not sure what's more valuable - having the correct answer or going on discussing. Something for our London forumers: The Barbican has a Cine Cuba programm: among others they show Strawberry and Chocolate, which I highly recommend.

It might not be right to post photos of the kids (unless they're already on the school website!) but to see the lanterns etc would be nice. All my photos taken in the school grounds have the children in them so I'd better not post without permission. Today they performed in Glastonbury Abbey. It was a glorious day, the weather was beautiful, there were cream teas on the lawn and hog roast in the tent! Yum. There were things going on all day around the grounds; my daughter was on the Main stage performing a dance routine called Zombies with her school (uncanny how well 15 teenagers can behave like zombies). Our primary school performed A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Abbey ruins. We were so proud of the children because they only had 45 minutes to rehearse there before it started, and we could not use most of the props from school. But they were brilliant, not at all phased by it. The setting was stunning; I'm sure most of the children will remember it all their lives. The day culminated in a historical pageant re-enacting 1100 years of Glastonbury Abbey and a surprise flyover from the Red Arrows. Here is a photo of the Abbey ruins I took earlier today before the children did their performance of AMSND. D xx "He's like fire. And ice. And rage.
