So I haven't posted anything in a week. I guess that is my longest since joining. Sorry to those who care. I got sick after enjoying teh horseradish *notwar* too much I suppose. We had glorious weather, the site was midtown Berlin but it felt like somewhere out in the woods. They had bats which meant I didn't get to donate blood to the non existant moskito population. And we spend some time with my parents too. Lots on nice people there those I don't remember half of their names, a fact which I hope am forgiven for in the light of this being a  first meeting with most of them and the amount of people and all my inherent insecurities. I hope to see a good bunch of them in two weeks at Nibelungen peace tournament and am busily organising our equipment to secure a pleasant experience even in regular september weather. I am finally recovering from the sniffles and I got a lovely dark blue/lilac (depends on teh lighting it seems) fine wool which is destined to become my first fitted cotte-outside. It will be with short sleeves and if will not reach the ground (I might attach some broad silkish hem to change that but I don't know yet) and obviously I will need a fitted or at least fiteter/ or is it fitter ;)) underdress, I got a fine grey fabric that will be a perfect underdress, because the color is a melange. so, if you wear it with silver it will seem grey, if you weat it with black too, but blue makes it look blueish and there is also a green aspect to the color I got it on ebay for a steal. Now I only need the time and a second me for the fitting :sigh:.

thanks for listing to all my babbles. Really love you guys. Sometimes I wish the INet were a set of tubes and we could just crawl through.
I will post a few pic next time
