This is one of the best poems I've read in a long time! When you get back Ms Red I'd be charmed if you'd have a go at the Box Art Quiz #2. (Hope you don't mind the plug!) Have fun, looking forward to your report!

Hey Lauren, gloves? You pessimist!
Enjoy...

Have lots of fun - don't forget to check out the toilets :)

lauren said...

hey SJ - a poem?! well, i'm glad some fun and games have become a poem. and when i look at it like that, you're right. it's pretty cool. although i'm sure my poet friends might disagree. and i would love to have a go at box art quiz #2, when i get back.

charlie - i actually think i'm hedging my bets - fucking big sombrero and fingerless gloves: style and covering all the seasons :)

The mint cake will wait Lauren - but I'm not sure that you want to risk it. I've got a tablet here if you're short.

So now I am in London sitting on Nina's sofa and where are you? In fucking Munich. Scheiße (you always seem to forget the "c"). Give Marcus a slap. I see you in some weeks.

lauren said...

Hey Seb! yay! I'm in München - post coming tomorrow. Shit, I do always forget the 'c'! I won't anymore, I promise, 'cos I am sehr, sehr Scheiße (you'll see why real soon). I'll give Marcus a slap from you and let's catch up in October. Take care Oehmchen.
