I’ve started a blog again! You might be relieved, since it might stop me from over-posting on here
Am so excited. It is mostly about writing (to which I came thanks to LingQ). Have a look into the “More about this blog page” where I tell the LingQ bit. I hope you like it.
I do most of my reading in foreign languages but your blog has so intrigued me that I will follow you in English! Congratulations on starting what is shaping up to be one of those rarities, an interesting blog.
That sounds like the beginning of a very interesting life-story. So was your father really in the “SS-Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler”? (I bet he was getting some serious stick from teenage children by the mid 60s!!)
@Prinz_Jogi : Yes, he was. I don’t want to burden you with my teenage angst just yet, that bit will go into another set of stories. They are written already, but will have to wait until I have grown up dysfunctionally.
The next story will be more of a scene-setter, less exciting perhaps, but necessary.
Congratulations Sanne and I’ve finally found out your nationality. All I knew about you was that you were not a native English speaker which I never would have thought from reading your posts on Lingq ! When will you be posting again ? I am eager to know more !
Thank you for the comment and the rose! Am on heavy grandmother duty at the moment. Hope to have something ready for Thursday. The stories are shaping themselves as I re-read them. It is fascinating.
We have argued about this before! Without you I would not have had followed up my vague idea of having a blog and without you I wouldn’t have that amazing design! So it is a win-win situation, I’d say
Oh my goodness, this is the makings of a novel that I’d love to read!!! It’s so wonderful! Never knew you were such a gifted writer. Serious!
Btw, my relatives told me years ago that one of ours was an SS guard in a concentration camp:(
I laughed about the “down there”! I can still hear my grandmother’s voice… she’d say “front passage” with a hoarse voice, almost spitting the words out. I’m sure she would have passed out if someone said vagina, lol.
I think the older British still secretly hate the Germans… my first husband & his British relatives used to poke fun at my “high, Kraut German forehead”, as well as my German maiden name - even though I’m at least 7th generation Australian. Sheesh. But then again, they’d sit around horrifying me with their talk about “white people” and “half-castes” etc at the dinner-table. (Disgusting racism!)
You really know how to paint a picture with your words! Congratulations, Sanne, because your blog is a winner!
