Bookworms United: Chat & Swap

[Red]

Hi Pfefferchen! Good to read you

Yes, I'm fine. Busy year? Did you finally move to Canada?

[calgaeum]

Thanks for the film, Red! It arrived today.

Hi Pfefferchen, good to read you. Any news about your habilitation? Is an end in sight?

[Red]

You're welcome, Calgaeum, hope you like it!

And thanks to ratti for the books. I've just prevented them from a freezing cold night at the Packstation

[Liffey]

Hi Ladies,
must have been ages since my last visit here. Hope you're all fine.

[Red]

Hi Liffey! How are you?

[calgaeum]

Hi Liffey - welcome back!

[Liffey]

I’m fine thanks. Last year and especially the second half has been very busy. And while spending most of my working time in front of a computer I really didn’t want to spend my spare time this way. Therefore no appearance over here.

How are you? You’ve swapped the language in here. How come? Well, not that I mind...

Is any one of you familiar with knitting patterns in English? I’d like to knit a jacket but unfortunately the pattern (Strickanleitung) is in English and to my mind written in a very complicated way. My English and Irish friends are so not into knitting, therefore no help

Sunny Sunday

[calgaeum]

Hi Liffey, awfully sorry - can't help you with your knitting pattern. I tend to keep my knitting simple and straight; anything more complicated and I'd have to start from scratch ever so often - meaning I'd never finish the piece.

Have a sunny Sunday, everybody!

[calgaeum]

Just a short reminder:

*** calgaeum is no. 322 ***

Extras:
- all my Swapper books (I am frida there)
- Finding Nemo – DVD / UK Import
- Allan and Barbara Pease: why men don't listen and women can't read maps
- Joseph Wambaugh: Finnegan's Week
- and a German book: Andreas Föhr: Eisenberg

I have added one extra, but I'm afraid I've been busy with other things and haven't got around to looking for more books I could tempt you with. Oh, and early next week I'll have to set my shelves to sleep mode as I'll be away for the rest of the week, visiting relatives I haven't seen for ages.

Hi Pfefferchen, hi Liffey!

@ Liffey - I knit, but I too mostly use German patterns, so I probably wouldn't be any help. I should add -- when I use patterns at all. I tend to make up my projects given the wool I have on hand.
