Hi Bill,

you are most welcome! And thank you for giving me another idea for a short trip - I just look up where Kevelear is and it really seems worth a trip.

I am amazed about your knowledge, I was sure you knew the Hildebrandt, for during our visit I got the impression, that it is one organ an expert has to know about and the Naumburger have a lot pride for their masterpiece. It is well deserved. St. Wenzel does have extraordinary accoustics.

The Speyer organ I didn't think so, for it being so new. I just read a bit about it and Seifert in the internet and maybe I have another picture for you in three weeks. We are going to Muenster for a weekend and there at St. Mauritz seems to be another Seifert-organ, when there is time, I will try to visit it. I also read something about the ASLSP - John-Cage-Organ-Project in Halberstadt, which is just around the corner. Truly interesting!

Leipzig isn't that far from here and I have visited the city a few years ago on our way to Dresden. They do have quite an history of music, as has the nearby town Halle. So it is probably no surprise that the whole region is full of sites to go, see and listen. My part of Germany on the other hand isn't very religious, nor has it a big musical history, so we have to go around to see these masterpieces.

Whenever I find another one, I will post a picture for you!

Best wishes

Good morning everyone,

here the sun slowly comes out and it promises to become a very beautiful autumn day.

I am sorry I missed the party, but the last weeks were full of work and than vacation started and we were off to visit new and old places and even up the mountains to the top of Europe. Lagoona - I bring you some extra greetings from Swiss! It is such a lovely country, we have been there twice now and will certainly go there again!

Today there will be some shopping, for we got our two little cats two days ago and they are keeping us on out toes (so to speak) and we have to buy some things we forgot earlier. It is such fun watching them play.

Best whishes

Sorry you have so much work, work does get in the way of having fun doesn't it

Hi ellibumble, you are most welcome. I always try to keep my work-life-balance in order, but I am afraid I am a work-o-holic The more I enjoy my holidays - September isn't that far away.

Where is Derbyshire? We spend our last summer vacations in Wales. Is thta anywhere near?

Ah dear friend ydoi, I am not gone missing - just lost under a lot work, so when I come home each evening I am so tired, too tired even for lounging.

The weather around here isn't for lounging also (almost like autumn) and than there is that scaffold on our patio for almost 3 weeks now. They are repairing something at the balcony of the flat above us.

Lagoona, those pictures of your garden are very beautiful! Thank you for giving us such a delight to watch!

But i have something delightful to tell also We are getting two young cats at the end of September, which we are able to visit already. They are so cute! When I have some photos I will post them!

It states that with Water Oxen you never have to sit around listening to boring lecturing and long-winded bla-bla.

Ah well - I am not sure about that I tend to talk too much and probably it is long-winded, too But I am a Gemini, too and that fits perfectly, too...

Thank you, Lagoona, for sharing your knowledge with us!

Hi Ydoi, I am glad your daughter enjoyed her trip.

There is - of course - a big conspiracy theory around this king. He build all this fairytale castles. Neuschwanstein, which you daughter visited



and castle Linderhof (sadly it was under construction, when we visited it). a small castle in the mountains.


There is a third one, too but we didn't visited it. The only castle that he really finished was castle Linderhof, the other two weren't finished while he lived. Neuschwanstein still has some empty rooms. Nevertheless he planed 2 or 3 more castles.

And if you ask a Bavarian you get either the answer that he was a madman or that he was a victim of the bad politicians. I think it is a mixture of both. In my opinion he was gay and at that times you were thought sick, when you were gay, so you weren't allowed to tell and live it. And he was very sensitive, with that he tried to compensate his lack of love from his family or a partner with this castles. And while they are very pretty they were very expensive, too and that's when the politicians thought, that they had to stop them. So some say he was killed in that lake others say he killed himself, we will probably never know what really happened there.

This is Hohenschwangau, it is the castle were he grew up and from were he watched the construction of Neuschwanstein:



Ah the beer! The Bavarians have some of the best beers in Germany There are over 1.300 brewerys in Germany, so there is a lot to taste

The Lovely Ladies Gmac and Mooma even animate their pictures. I haven't figured that one out yet.

Hi Lagoona, the only way I know to post animated pictures is the same way as to post immobile pictures. The only difference is that the picture is animated itself!

Best wishes

Thank you very much, you are all so sweet!

Lynne, thank you and how are you?!

Yusef, I would quit having birthdays sooner than later, but alas my family is against it and I am the minority here. And getting presents isn't too bad

Mrs. G, that dragon with the marshmallows is great, the next time we are using our bar-b-que there will be some for him!

And there will be some extra candles for your fellow, too, Moo!

Lagoona, extra wishes and especially dragons are always welcome. It is the 19. of June, so when's your birthday? (Moo, keep your pencil ready!) I do love dragons, even so I am born in the year of the buffalo and I am always sad, when they are shown as monsters.

Hi G, that sounds scary, that with those fires! Hope nothing happens to you and your dear family! I am certain we will find some time to chat. Maybe next weekend on Sunday morning/evening?!

Weather here is quite crazy. Till sunday afternoon we had some cold weather, barely reaching 70 degrees and since Sunday afternoon its blazing hot. The temperatures are well into the nineties. Ideal weather for lounging and that is what I will be doing the rest of the evening, for they already forecasted some bad thunderstormns and a temperature drop back to the seventies.

Even sio we have that nice lounging isle, we sadly have no water - I just could find another picture of it, But it is huge and will have space for all of us

Hey Moo, I am always glad to share some tidbits about my home - as I am always happy to read something about your and the others homes There is so much to share!

Hey G, haven't seen you for awhile! Hows the stormy season doing? We saw some pretty bad pictures on TV, hope you and your family didn't have any bad experiences?!

Room! It is so good to see you! How is your head and what are the cats doing? Thank you, B-day was fine, we visited my Mom (terrific cooking there ) and went to a musical (The Lion King) together.

Hey ydoi, I know that feeling about summer, but they promised us on the weather forecast, that summer will be back from Monday on, so hopefully your daughter will have some nice days, too! At the moment it is a strange mix of thunderstorms and sun.

I heard that about smokers, too, but mainly with spices, that is to say, that smokers use more spices than non-smokers. But I do not know if it is really true. My mom smokes but her food tastes normal.

No it doesn't sound weird. I can imagine that it looks really nice! In the past I just liked white walls, but by now they hav to be colorful. So I have a green wall in the livingroom and a red wall in the hallway and my sunny bedroom. Colors make life more cozy, don't you think?

Hi Ydoi, I will lounge with you - had a lot work lately but now a longer weekend, so ideal for lounging (and some paint job in the flat).

We bought a new barbecue, so there will be a lot delicious food like asparagus with veal

Hi, usually you should be able to register your game without buying it again. At least that is how it works for me. If I install an old game, I just go to the middle tab and register it again after downloading.
