Das ist wirklich toll Odbe! warum lernst du Deutsch?

An der Universität :)

I've been holding out, until now. I have my own little beach house and when I retire in a few years I will move there. Ah, salt water and sand bars.

^This announcement bears Coffee's highest rated stamp of approval, for a non-mobile salt water dwelling.

:)

^^That will be beautiful! Im happy for you. :)

and on similar note, here's a poem for Odbe to wrestle with...
I love it.


Ich habe Sehnsucht
nach einer Meeresbucht
mit Felsen und Strand
in einem fernen Land.
Dort möchte ich sitzen
in der Sonne schwitzen
und Sehnsucht haben
nach hungrigen Raben
auf kahlen Feldern,
nach verschneiten Wäldern
und eisigem Windeswehn.
Kann's selbst nicht verstehen.

Christine Nöstlinger: Sehnsucht

^^ thanks for your lovely affirmations!

It was supposed to be die not der wasn't it...
Thanks Ysa, loved that poem, I knew a few words and stuck the rest into Google translate. Sehnsucht is a great word.
New favourite: gemütlich

I think I am going to have to buy Macklemore's album.

It is VERY hot.

Frieda - it's mildly chilly here. If we all travel lots and bring our weather with us will it all even out to a pleasant warmth? (Or maybe all the fuel used for the transport would just contribute to global warming)

Mildly chilly sounds pretty awesome right now! It's still 29c in my apartment (which is about to be flooded by a thunderstorm because i am too lazy to get my arse out of bed in the middle of the night to close my balcony door)
