So no plans to learn Old Norse to read Snorri Sturluson in the original? :) (Unless you can already read Old Norse) A few of these look like books I would want to read. I'm reading atm (when I can find a quiet spot and the time to read) Virginia Woolf's Orlando.

At least in Germany the bakeries are open on Sundays. Not much else though, except in railway stations.

Are there any in which you can sit down to have a coffee?

What about adding some jelly with it to make a deconstructed trifle?

It's a bit windy here, but not as much as in the inland areas south of Sydney.

Arrgh! After lunch? At least with mine I could get it first thing in the morning so I could have a couple of yoghurts.

I'm looking for a room in a share house in Adelaide starting from October (between $100-150 a week; long-term). There aren't many listings on flatmates.com.au. Any suggestions as to where I could look?

Come to think of it, we're lucky that a panda hasn't decided to be a criminal mastermind. Nobody would be able to identify the culprit in a identification parade of pandas.

How do we know that they're not the same pandas with new aliases?

I forgot - we pretend that we speak English with a nasal accent when Americans are around. I meant to say "there are so many crocodiles in Vorarlberg".

"I wanted to trip him up, and said to myself: I must make use of my strength ; I am going to take refuge in my country. I spoke to him of Persia ; but I had scarcely said four words before he twice refuted me, based on the authority of MM. Tavernier and Chardin. Oh good Lord, said I to myself, who is this man ? Next thing he will know the streets of Isfahan better than I do ! My decision was soon made: I said no more, and let him talk, and he is still deciding."

"I have never seen such a universal decider ; his mind was never suspended by the slightest doubt. They left the sciences, and took up news of the day ; he decided about the news of the day."

Some things haven't changed that much over the centuries. Here's an excerpt from Montesquieu's "Persian Letters" (1721):
"The other day I happened to be in a company where I saw a man who was very content with himself. In fifteen minutes he decided three questions of morality, four historical problems, and five points of physics."

I got the idea in my head to make some tzatziki today (minus the dill - I'm allergic to that) - but I couldn't find mint (dried or fresh) in the local supermarkets.

I had something similar when I was in Korea.
