Guten Tag, ich überbringe Grüße von Herrn Prof. Kolb. Er benötigt dringend sein Büchlein des Kollegen Hawking, um sich über verdampfende schwarze Löcher zu informieren. Vielleicht könnten sie es bei ihrem nächsten Besuch mitbringen? Freundliche Grüße natürlich auch von mir.
Hallo lieber Marc, Danke für die Freundschaft, ich hoffe wir spielen bald mal wieder fröhliche und melancholische Lieder über den Mond zusammen oder ähnliches schönes! Liebe Grüße Caro
Hi!!! Back from the posh hotel yet!? Let's get together for beer or coffee or music...or an ice cream perhaps. No, not an ice cream, it's far too cold. Maybe a spot of tea. And a biscuit. Or without the biscuit. It's not a big deal about the biscuit, I thought I'd just throw that in there in case that might swing it for you, but we don't have to go down that route or anything. Unless we want to I mean. Anyway.
