This place has been officially HPed!

When I left for work today at quarter to eight... The post-it-note was still in our lift. But by the time I came home which was half an hour ago, it was gone. Maybe somebody removed it. I hope it gave Lady Bruton something to wonder about.
Lady Bruton is our elderly - or better, old! - neigbour and is quite similar to Lady Bruton in Mrs Dalloway. Our neigbours have quite English nicknames anyway, there is also Lady Poirot - she is a curious French lady and so we named her after Agatha Christies Hercule Poirot - and Lovely Rita. Oh, and Mr BBQ, but this is another topic.

"You've been HPed"-decoration in our lift

Some quite odd but amusing story mady me day today - and not only mine. When I came to the office this morning I had a mail from H with an article about Londons new singing and talking bins! Another reason for loving London, England and the English! Such humor! We could use one of them as well in front of our house. Some students of our local school love to sit on our stairs, leaving their litter there and Lady Bruton spents quite some time running - or better gasping - to the teachers room to complain. But a talking bin would solve the problem!

H by the way has a new dream job. She wants to become a lollipop lady for hedgehogs. I'm proud of her!

HPed - or only half of it at the moment

Hello everybody

I hope this is going to be a real HP blog, even if there is only me at the moment. I'm P. At least, this is short for one of my many nick names. One day my best friend and me started with the HP thingy. Means, that we took the first letters of our nick names, a H for her and a P for me and created HP. HP is kind of our signature, so if you ever come across a pink or yellow post-it-note with something like: "You've been HPed" or so, you know that it is from us ;-) You can find quite some of them in London, left during a marvellous holiday in Summer 2010. We even postet one on a bin ;-)

Well, London. Or better, England. We both really love England, actually we feel quite British though we live in Switzerland near Zurich - not only in the same small town but also in the same house, on the same floor, but in two different flats.
We love tea - if there is something like Anonymus Teaaholic please let us know! - good old British humor, soaps like Downton Abbey and Are you being served and shops like Monsoon. We both write notes and shopping lists in English and of course all mails and texts are like this as well. It happens quite often that we change between German and English during a chat. I guess we simply live in the wrong country!

So, now dear friend. Fancy joining me for a little project? Something like blogging about the way we try - and manage - to live something like a English live in Switzerland? About our English soaps, books, shops, teas... Or simply tell about the post-it-notes we left somewhere?

I hope you join me!

hugs
