Just a quick message to say that the place where I'm living will be getting a wonderful new glass fibre internet link, but because that's cooler and more complicated than the thing we were originally going to be getting, access to the internet in our rooms has been delayed. Probably until some time in September. So I'll probably continue to be slow to receive and reply to things, and this website will never be the beautiful thing with pictures and animations and song and dance that it would have been if only it had been allowed to be.
In other news, I noticed yesterday that my neighbour's rock-growing cloche has now been smashed into pieces and the rock is now exposed to sun and wind and rain. From what I've learned about German relationships (primarily from ARD daily soaps), it was most likely destroyed by his girlfriend in a fit of jealousy about how much time he was devoting to it.
My window blind continues to bravely stay up. I no longer move it, so my room is dark. But at least other students can't walk by and look at me whenever they want. If they do want to do that, they'll need to get that key that opens my door from that man whom I have never seen again.

Glad all is going well. I look forward to a Septmeber display of gaudy html madness:)
Alas javajoe, I fear there shall be no such madness. I'm off home in September, and so I'm sure I'll not think to update this thing ever again. Not least because I'll be distracted by meeting Paul again. Because he will meet me.
Ah, Paul. I had thought that, after christening this page at its very beginning, you hadn't lasted. Like a flower that is shrivelled up by the summer sun, you hadn't lasted.
But, alas you have lasted!! And you are, I see, still a beautiful flower.
Long may the milk of your human kindness remain fresh as a daisy. I might continue in a similar vein, but I think when you talk like that it is imaginative and cute, but when I try it it is just annoying.
Got a house yet? I hope you're well and cheerful these days...
Ah, Paul.
I will try to honour your request.
But then, how should I describe you when I want to distinguish you from other Pauls that I know? Do you have a preferred word I can put before 'Paul'?
Thank you also for your kind offer. I'm afraid I could not possibly accept. Or, at least, I won't accept. Perhaps if you were cuter I'd go with you. That said, I'm sure you have already found (or been found by) a parasite and the offer is closed anyway. I hope it wasn't someone that you regret offering the ticket to.
I'm glad you're cheerful generally.
