Agatha Macbeth: Oh do shut up, I've only just got here

Wol arrives, skating

Agatha Macbeth waves to the furry one
Agatha Macbeth: The skating furry one indeed
Wol Euler: yeppers
Wol Euler: greetings, thou tall red-haired one
Agatha Macbeth: Hope you're feeling better
Wol Euler: eep
Wol Euler: yes, thanks, slowly getting better. Still pretty grim though
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Wol Euler: seeing the doc tomorrow again
Agatha Macbeth: Poor Wollage
Agatha Macbeth: The two of you will be firm friends soon
Wol Euler: oh we already are :) I've been going to him since 1992
Agatha Macbeth: Good grief
Wol Euler: yeah :)
Wol Euler: he's an interesting guy as well as a good doctor
Agatha Macbeth: So how long have you been in Stutt?
Wol Euler: we met by chance once at a new-age seminar place in the country
Wol Euler: I was there for a weekend seminar on identifying self-defeating behaviour, he was there for an evening in a sweat lodge
Agatha Macbeth: Seems an odd place to meet a doctor
Agatha Macbeth: Physician feel thyself
Wol Euler: he's an odd doctor :) paints (oils) and goes on canal-boat holidays
Agatha Macbeth: My
Wol Euler: I like him a lot, actually
Wol Euler: I've been here since April 1994
Wol Euler: or may
Wol Euler: not sure
Agatha Macbeth: So you knew him before?
Wol Euler: yes, I stayed in this veyr apartment before moving here, his office is across the street
Agatha Macbeth: That's handy
Wol Euler: yup
Wol Euler: Stuttgart is very village-y
Agatha Macbeth: Ja
Wol Euler: despite the population
Agatha Macbeth: Do they have a blacksmith?
--BELL--1315
Wol Euler: probably, yes :-P
Wol Euler: http://www.die-ritterschmiede.de/
Wol Euler: :-P
Wol Euler: a blacksmith handmaking swords and armour, in the middle of town
Wol Euler: heheheh
Agatha Macbeth: Wowz
Wol Euler: it's that kind of a city
Wol Euler: it has the facilities of a very big, culturally rich, city
Wol Euler: with the atmosphere of a village
Agatha Macbeth: So you're good if your horse breaks down at least
Wol Euler: there's a veterinarian near me who specializes in pet fish
Wol Euler: Fish!
Wol Euler: I ask you
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, 'Erotik' looks interesting :p
Wol Euler: oh, I didn't get that far :) thank you :)
Agatha Macbeth: Nicht immer muß Qualität teuer sein ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Did you find him in yellow pages?
Wol Euler: google
Agatha Macbeth: Ah even better
Wol Euler: I suppose I could have used paper
Wol Euler: never occurred to me
Agatha Macbeth: Don't suppose you look up blacksmiths too often
Wol Euler: I hope that business schools are teaching Yellow Pages as an example of a business that went from near-monopoly to irrelevant in under two years
Wol Euler: because there can be fewer clearer examples of missing hte boat, or not seeing that there was one
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, they could do
Agatha Macbeth: Is there no online YP then?
Wol Euler: the fact that neither of us knows, proves my point :)
Agatha Macbeth: Well yeh
Wol Euler grins.

Agatha Macbeth: I was hoping Ara might come again this week
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if she found her hair yet?
Wol Euler grins.
Bleu Oleander: she lost her hair?
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, apparently it vanished between here and her plot
Wol Euler: perhaps a sub-editor got it`?
Agatha Macbeth: Very mysterious
Bleu Oleander holds on to her hair
Agatha Macbeth: I've heard of stuff vanishing out of peoples' inventories, but never while they were actually wearing it
Bleu Oleander: i've lost a few things out of my inventory
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder where it all goes to?
Wol Euler: the same place that RL single socks go to
Wol Euler: I guess
Bleu Oleander: same place single socks go maybe
Agatha Macbeth: Sock heaven?
Bleu Oleander: lol
Agatha Macbeth: Sock it to me
Bleu Oleander: thinking I need a new look for this year
Wol Euler: says the woman who changes looks every week
Agatha Macbeth: Dark instead of pale?
Bleu Oleander: not that I don't have so many haha
Bleu Oleander: i've been dark
Bleu Oleander: perhaps a color
Agatha Macbeth: I remember you as a bird once
Bleu Oleander: really?
Bleu Oleander: forgot that
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure I took a picture
Bleu Oleander: I remember being a flower
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Not a cactus tho
Bleu Oleander: yuck no
Bleu Oleander: too many around here
Agatha Macbeth: At least you could hide easily
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: perhaps a painting
Agatha Macbeth: I'm wondering when we'll see the old Wol back

Bleu Oleander: yes
Bleu Oleander: fresh start
