firstofall: I'm not going to be pissed. Must be somewhat idiosyncratic that I do hate my typos so much - most of the time my brain is quicker than my fingers. :)

I keep my fingers crossed for you - 'looking good up to now' sounds promising ... best wishes again!

Would you do me a favour? I'd pretty much love to meet you in person if you get geographically close to my area - I didn't do trips for ages, short of money or short of time ---
I'd really apprecciate to meet you - would you drop me a line and allow us to have a cup of coffee together? - Das würde mich wirklich sehr freuen, wann auch immer.
