Props to Mr. R

-- whom, after many days of waiting patiently, I have finally managed to get on MSN, while trying to figure out where the f*** DE is this evening (no fault of his, I was very late).
My dear Mr. R will sadly not be visiting in Sept, but I have just extracted a promise from him to come the following year... when his busy schedule will permit.
I fully intend to hold him to it.

If anyone knows what "sonst" means that would be useful right now because I'm showing my complete ignorance of German in my lack of ability to translate it...

Also, Mr. R is a BIG SOPPY ROMANTIC. Just so all the G-dot girls are duly warned before his arrival...
