I have never seen delphinium like that! Beautiful. You should take more pictures of your gardens. I was almost a botany major in college, and I've always regretted that I live in the Land of No Natural Shade.
Two brothers made it to 6'1, two sisters to 5'10". I just kept going, like a delphinium, till I was sure I couldn't buy clothes off the rack any more. Bad decision.
Yesterday two young 'uns from the Alleyn School, very posh!, showed up in the laboratory for teenage "work experience". She kohlenraabenpechschwarz and barely over five feet, he 6'9", white, hands latex-ungloveable, Shrek with better ears. I was cutting in a pancreaticoduodenectomy specimen when one of the histotechnologists ushered them in, asking if the kids might watch the process of examination, description, sampling for later microscopic study. My God, I said, looking at the two of them, it's the Lord of the Rings tour, they've sent us a hobbit and an ent. Dylan the Ent and I bonded quickly. Having to purchase shoes on-line, or on shopping trips to Amsterdam, as a shared experience -- powerful. Turns out, though, he has a hotmail.co.uk e-address. Learning something like that about a new acquaintance...
i picture hungarians as small, wiry and impeccably tailored/shod. one out of three, not bad.
and, hurray for the alleyn school. there really isn't anything like showing kids what grownups do at the office, and the office itself. you could drone on and on about what a -- forensic liver guy, is that what you are? -- does, and yet one encounter with somebody at work making slides will stay with those kids the rest of their lives. good on you.
finally, how you say in english kohlenraabenpechschwarz? kohlrabi shaped child with black pecs? and, how does one glove those of you with ham hock for paws?
With temps around 100 here, believe me -- that's done already.
BTW, you have made me feel less woe-is-me about shoe-buying. If it's tough for me to find anything nice (I wear a U.S. 13), it must be a bitch for you!

With feet that size I have an excuse for falling on my back when a good-looking man so much as glances at me.
