And let's see if anybody else will be interested. Do you set up a forum meeting?

That would be great if the Globosapiens invaded Ireland!

Marianne, I think that your message about PG Wodehouse was addressed to Hugh.
Anyway, I know about him and respect him and like very much his English humour.

... for being such a attentive member!! Unfortunately I've not been travelling - I'm just very busy (job-related + private). But, strictly speaking, I had 3 days off last week and spend it helping my cousin in Düsseldorf who has a market stand (flowers) on the 'Carlsplatz'.

I hope you are doing well and I wish you a nice Advent season.

Hello Marianne,

If you were in India around Holi(Feb/March), these would mean dry colours for the festival- applied on friends for celebration.

Otherwise..1) The red powder is typically sindoor, applied on the forehead. Yellow is turmeric used by women for its medicinal value.

2)Most other coloured powder as used for rangolis (coloured designs made in homes at the doorstep or the prayer room) -just decoration.

and congrats for AoM.
Best regards,

I just watched your Tunisia album. Is amazing, you showed Tunisia not only as a tourist destin, also as a normal country.
You deserved for AoM

Cheers

I am just at the age when presently i will have leisure if not youth to visit all these exotic Dutch attractions. Now it would be so difficult to watch out for the watchers giggling at my behaviour that i must depend on this description which is excellent.

Do you have a picture of the chicken thief statue in the chicken market behind the cathedral?
I starved for five hours awaiting a train near this Cathedral because we only had Belgian money in 1961 on my very first time out of Ireland.
To twist the words of the Heidelberg song, truly i lost my heart (for a little while) in Aachen
