Danke schön, Udo!  I love hearing that I've made someone's day!

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it, because I enjoyed telling it.

I'm also delighted to hear that it's bigger than merely Yarralumla Primary
in
Canberra.  I think it must have been shared at some point in time between
East Frisia and Canberra.  But I'm at a loss to imagine how.

But anyhow: ka-dinka-donka-dinka-donka ... ;)
