Read during lunch break, from Th. Mann's diaries: (...) Mißlungener Versuch, mir morgens Kaffee zu bereiten. (...) [13. 8. 48]

However did men of this class survive?!


In other news, lots of work, preparing for inventory... tired.

Temperatures have dropped again.

LOL! I find this endearing, actually... Like the anecdote where he offers sugar to a guest who came to have afternoon-tea, and the guest was amazed:"But *no one* has sugar these days?" Th. Mann just blinked, not understanding. "We always have had sugar." The family had been saving their rations so the father wouldn't notice anything was amiss. THAT's how he survived.

Still have to write up something about journal reading... *sigh* By the way, interesting post about HP.

Oh absolutely... it's just that sometimes I type with a certain (in this case, fond) tone of voice in my head and don't realise that it doesn't come across in writing...
