It doesn't stick in what they are to learn about it. Students complain today when I write in script on the board saying it is too hard to read.L.

I didn't realize people wrote on the front of the card where the picture was...it looks very modern, mixing photography and graphics. Can you imagine a card being delivered to such an address now, although I did hear a disk jockey in L.

I remember feeling very detached and isolated there and the strange thing was there was no atmosphere of something about to change, yet only a few days after we had left Berlin and moved on to Hannover did we find that the wall had come down. I have been back to Berlin once since then, on a business trip, but am keen to return again with more time on my hands.dakotaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804592205708387211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-88555182985974955252012-04-29T10:18:27.274+01:002012-04-29T10:18:27.274+01:00Bob + Nancy : Still not sure what happened but I h...Bob + Nancy : Still not sure what happened but I have re-edited the post and hopefully you will be able to see the image now.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-48562382877076778852012-04-29T10:14:49.905+01:002012-04-29T10:14:49.905+01:00Not sure what is going on - some can see it some c...Not sure what is going on - some can see it some can't.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-37793949651522733792012-04-29T08:11:12.748+01:002012-04-29T08:11:12.748+01:00I need brightening up as well, Alan.
