Excellent mews about your new suPurrvisor! I am sure you will post a photo when she has settled. Has she got a name?

Only in a commercial setting and if it is culturally protected food. As a private citizen, I'm covered by the Fremdgerichtprivatbesitzausnahmegenehmigungsgesetz.

Relieved to hear it.

Wouldn't want the Stadtsberufubersichtampt to get involved.

My brushes with the Stadtsmelderampt were fraught.
Eventually I had to produce my birth certificate, my qualifications, even my graduation certificate. But there was nothing to say I was qualified as a technical sales manager. Much sucking of teeth.
And no identity card! That was a real problem in 1984.

Eventually it needed a letter from the mayor of my then home town in England. Fortunately I knew her and she thought this was very funny. A packet of Lebkuchen sealed the deal.
That and stamps from the drawer at the town hall.

As ever the company then decided I should be based in Belgium. Had I known, then my grandfather's parents were Belgian everything would have been so different.

Fabby supper of gammon glazed with spiced quince jelly, beef dripping roasties, mangetout and apple sauce.

Halfway through the working week. It was a nice day today, a huge change from the washout of yesterday.

Huge excitement as I collected my new glasses. No change in prescription, but the old ones were badly scratched so I can see clearly now! The old frames were worn and knackered too, so hopefully I'll be able to cycle without my glasses sliding down my nose and giving me a sore neck from trying to look through them!

I was going to submit the receipt to my health insurance company for payment but when I looked, I was just given a cash receipt with no details of what it was for, so I better go back and ask for something more detailed.

I've been to my dance class. Soon be time for bed.

Having a really enjoyable evening watching the snooker. Fabby match between Mark Williams & Mark Selby.

That wasn't a bad way of filling in the gap between Tuesday & Thursday. Impressed by how much the headline act have improved since I saw them as a support some years ago. Didn't think much of the venue though as they ran out of all drinks other than overpriced weak lager mid evening.

Still ridiculously warm - I was walking back from the venue at about 10pm in a thin long sleeved top and a lightweight fleece jacket that I didn't need - is it really mid Novemberish?

Different sort of flapjack, I fear. They call our pancakes drop scones. Although our scones are very much alike.

I forgot to inform the forum that yesterday I swept and mopped all the floors in the flat.

Today I am making flapjack.

Floor, in the kitchen, will need mopping again.

Time for me to bank the fire and trot off upstairs to bed via a nice hot bath.

Nunnight one and all xxx
