Certain that this will be of great interest to ET  ;-)), you should all know what an exciting day i've had here in rainy Bremen.  I hoovered the place, and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen.  Unpacked the hard drive and let Time Machine bring me up to the present.  Filed a shitload of receipts for my Steuerberater.

And decided to look at my other mobile, where i discovered that both J and Anya had sent New Year's greetings.  Danke.  (J, i wished you and all here greetings in the OT.)

All the while drinking Mimosas with Crèmant.  That should set me up well to finally see Bonjour Sagan.  I have respect for Diane Kurys, but we'll see.

I hope Helen's doing well, and Drew survived Manhattan.  I hope Doc Triloqvist is feeling better and more mobile, and Melancthon's still waiting patiently for my writing.  The world remains insane, so i won't comment, knowing linca's on the case.  I still wish there were more Germans here.

It's nice to know the rain is cleaning the glass ceiling.  Prost all, let you know what it's like to be an 18 year old girl driving an Aston Martin later.  (I have a date!)

Don't think that your real first name is an obligation ;-)

Yep, I'm doing okay, working away at my treadmill to encourage my stomach to shrink. It's disappointing to see how much being ill has taken out of me, I tire easily on the machine so I'm doing lots of short stuff rather one long slog.

I keep looking longingly at my little stock of malty heaven in the back room when I go in there, but I'll get over that in an eon or two.

hang a bottle from a string just out of reach of the front of the treadmill, see if that helps ;-)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

The carrot, but what's the stick? ;-) Sorry Helen, we're only trying to get you to see the funny side. Say stop.

The stick is that I can't have a beer till I lose weight.

LOL, read that you are preparing recipes for your Steuerberater - and thought how nice that you seem to share a liking for cooking. Well, I guess it is not what you ment and hope it is not about cooking the books. :-D

After the shit movie, i actually cooked dinner for a woman my age, rather than my steuerberater.  since she's still here, i'll go back offline.

Fran, that was actually very funny.
