Photo # 271639, top of page. Is that one of your dioscorea?


Good evening Mike,

right - my friend Heinz bequeathed the plant to me.
Heinz died last September. . .
So this is not realy "my" Dioscorea. . .

Dear Aiko,

You know "Frau Klein" after all these years.
I don't want to risk my place in heaven. . .
My karma would be zeroed in seconds.
I probably wouldn't even be allowed to serve her her meals. . .

And it is an entirely different matter. . .

Good evening Mike and Aiko,

the fruit basket in which "Frau Klein" lies is on a table in my office.
She occupied the fruit basket years ago when it was filled with apples and oranges. . .
She lay on the fruit like a hen on her eggs. I then swapped the fruit for a blanket, which of course is changed regularly!
I have to keep saying it; "Frau Klein" has an immeasurable advance on everything.
She had such a horrible life before she came to me.
The rest of life is supposed to be wonderful, comfortable, carefree, and food rich! And of course no water from nozzles. . . :lol:

The table is a very old pub table that I restored as a student for my first own apartment.
I wouldn't necessarily use the shower to water the cacti here in the office. . . [-X :wink:

But "Frau Klein" looks as if she would ascribe it to me. . .


Courage dear friends!

Frau Klein's attitude really shows in that picture. Quit the annoyed look. What did you do K.W.?
