A lovely pair indeed, Midge, congratulations. Long may they soar.
Crazy? I'll tell you about crazy. Every time i see a teapot I remember Mrs Schuch. She worked as a maid or governess back in 19-voetsek. Once scoured out a teapot and ruined it taste. She got sacked. At seventy she still wore her hair in a magnificent plait. She and her husband lived in an outlying suburb of me old home town. She was a pillar of the German Lutherans in the city, and basically would hand out food and clothes from her front door to anyone in need. She didn't even have a security gate. One day, a couple of people showed up at her door, demanding money. When they discovered she and her husband had none, they bludgeoned the two of them so badly that they both ended up in hospital. She went into a coma for six months and never came out of it again. They beat her to death. One of the most fascinating people I've ever met, and they beat her to death. She used to make such delicious german cakes with cinnamon in them, and knit tiny finger puppets for church bazaars, and never hurt anyone in her life. That's crazy.
Oh Fubbles :3
