I learned two fascinating German phrases I can use when I interrogating German soldiers on the front line. The first one I think I can say properly, the second one I just look at in horror, which is a shame because I like it the best.
Das ist keine Zeit zum Streiten! Raus! Which I guess translates to "This is no time for arguments. Get out!"
and
Trotz Ihrer Lugen, beabsichtige ich, Ihnen noch eine Gelegenheit zu geben. They say that means, "In spite of your lies I intend to give you another chance."
But really, my new knowledge comes from a book on the history of Libraries. I decided that I should get back into schoolgirl mode and took out some books on libraries and their collections and such. Of course, this one is the fun book, so I have more studious texts left.
Mary Ann and Wally suprised me this morning; usually she comes to the museum in the afternoons. But, she had brought him along to paint the two front doors. They look so lovely now, in a nice creamy colour instead of the stark white they were before. I don't think he appreciated me standing by and pointing out spots that he missed. Those things just annoy me, though. It was nice to talk to him for a bit, though.
I got my new Jasper Fforde book today! Yay! I ordered it from the UK because I am that much of a dork and like to have my Jasper Fforde in the original British English form, thank you very much. Of course I'm now pondering as to when should I read it. I would love to dive into it right now, but then I'm thinking that maybe I should wait until the ride home. But then again, I've been getting carsick when I read in the car in the backseat lately. So I don't know. I saved Something Rotten for when I went hom last year.
And things seem to be all normal with the person in question from church. She was altogether over the top friendly this evening. So who knows what goes on the minds of men.
Eighteen days! Eighteen days of work left!
