Nectarious Night

And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs . . .

Es wird Nacht, Señorita

A very happy 200th Birthday, Mr. Collins.

Wilkie Collins ((8 January 1824 – 23 September 1889)

Happy New Year!

May the best in 2023 be the worst in 2024.
After all, it's okay to wish, eh?

Same procedure as every year

If I've counted correctly, Germans can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) 14 times today on different TV channels, between 9:40 and 23:40, and also nine times in different German dialects, including Schwiizerdütsch.
And this year there is a big show on two channels, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Dinner for One.
Very strange folks, the Germans. Well, judge for yourself.

Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.
