My Russian is also worse than my German! ;-)
Maybe Alex will invite us to his garden and we can learn some Russian! 
But better wait until June!

> We need an Alex in every country!
Well said :-)
I think that Luis is the Spanish Alex.
But i don't know a German Alex from the VLF guys...

Interesting. I know there are a number of people asking themselves what 
you are/were actually doing all the day ;-)

I expected that you spend at least 3 hours per day for VLF.
Here, i spend 6 hours per day for VLF, in average. This is quite much! 
But i don't have a XYL, children, TV, garden...
Meanwhile, 41 years old here. And you?

73, Stefan
