Learned yesterday that an even more euphemistic term for logorrhoe is — compulsive soliloquizing! Thanks go to M. Johnston; 29 July, 2011 10:33
Markus Spring said...: @Carl: it's probably because I live with 4 women (albeit 3 younger ones) that I without a moment of thinking understood the punchline - knowing Martina's wit I almost expected that.; 29 July, 2011 11:43
Martina said...: Carl, you put your finger in a wound, I am not happy with the blog's format for some months now, but haven't found the time to alter anything in the template, i.e. larger formats for the photos.

I took this fountain's photograph last year, too, sphinx, this year I took the photo because someone has put some mascara on her/his eyes. Doesn't really show in the photo, though.

Cloudia, thank you :-). I like the fish.

Markus, lol - but I have to say that this post was mostly inspired by this week's compulsive soliloquizing ... men. (Too many meetings at the office ...) .. (4? - something I missed? ;-)); 29 July, 2011 23:30
Markus Spring said...: @Martina: The best of all wives + a 14 years old + the twins... makes 4 if I count correctly.; 30 July, 2011 09:55
Martina said...: Markus, seems like somehow I really missed the 14 years old in the last years. Haha, that are many women in your life, indeed. Ojee. ;-); 30 July, 2011 10:27
