oh, I know that! A lovely German lady taught me that (and good morning, afternoon) when I was about 7. It remains the sum total of my German language knowledge!Gute Nacht!
Schlaf schönGute Nacht!
reminds me of "Krusty spritzender Gaswasser"Spritzen seems like a good word.
Love love the fact that the choirs do have their own designated areas!@bluemoon7
Westminster Abbey choir stalls. If you go to a service there you can sit behind the choir. The front row is the choristers. Middle row is the lay vicars (the men). Back row will be the public unless there's a special service or some reason why they need to reserve the back row. But most days, if you want to, you can sit right behind the choir which is fabulous. Well, I always liked it.
In this picture I can see that they have the choristers from a Chapel Royal (most likely the one at St James's Palace). That's the kids wearing the red and gold outfits, standing on the floor.
Btw, did you know that Westminster Abbey is a Royal Peculiar? If the Archbishop of Canterbury goes there he has to ask for permission to enter the building.
Stop it Michael!!!

Is it just a Christmas thing or are they all over the place at other times of the year?I have been making pics of these gnomes over the past weeks, they are everywhere ugh.
Mostly xmas here, but they have gained a general popularity. I suspect the popularity of movies, like lord of the rings , Hobbit, etc during the last years.Is it just a Christmas thing or are they all over the place at other times of the year?
Me neither.Just a rough collage of some
I don't get it.

This would have scared the f out of me as a kid. Imagine these under the xmas tree!Me neither.
Here's one of the fluffy variety of gonk.
No wonder so many therapists are making a good living!This would have scared the f out of me as a kid. Imagine these under the xmas tree!
Why do we do it to ourselves?Christmas is already a challenging time:
Forced joyfulness
Forced xmas market visits and parties with colleagues
The stress of gifts
Meeting the family oh no!
Etc.
