Can you believe that I sent this letter to Dennis? I am really not quite with it!

Dear Harald,

This is so exciting! I can’t wait to hear the rest of the details.

The telephone number is ok. Actually that is my computer number. The one for the house ends in 5841. Would be better if you use that one because it is a handsfree. But the other one is also connected so if one doesn’t work use the other. However, this morning Peter was connected to the computer number all day, he worked from here, and I had forgotten to switch the internet to the other number and then went to bed. Inge complained bitterly, because she was after further information, re your visit to Australia. Do you know the poem by Ringelnatz?

There were once two Ants

They wanted to travel to Australia

In Altona on the Chausse

Their feet began to hurt

And so cleverly they gave up

The rest of their trip to Australia

(of course in german this all rhymes)

If all else fails, you can ring Hedwig’s mobile. In case you have even more surprised and end up tripsing around here for instance next week: her number is 040....

Or my mobile on 04.....

I need to create a new „mum’s phone list“. Oh look...my quotes automatically appear in the right places under Windows 98.

Our time difference is 8 hours, or so it seems. On the TV it is shown as 8 hours, so here it is now 12 midnight and Frankfurt 4am. In the german news channel (Deutsche Welle on the internet) the time difference appears as 10 hours – here it is 12 midnight and there it is 2am. But according to your emails it is 8 hours. I sent off the email called „joker“ at 9.03 and it arrived at 17.03, according to the timestamp. So tell me who is crazy here? Probably it’s me. Never mind!

You can work it out yourself. I will send this letter immediately, and now it is 1.08 am here.So it should be 17.0.

So, until later.

Peter.
