An Easy Story
A Lazy Toorington Weekend!
This weekend was a very slow weekend. We had a lazy time. We spent most of our time in the garden. A little bit here and a little bit there. Nothing special.
But, the grill on Saturday evening was great. Two beautiful steaks. We bought them at the butchers on Saturday morning. And, the wine came from The Toorington Wine Bar. Very good and a very good price. Only 10 pounds a bottle.
After dinner we watched Grafenegg on TV. Live from Austria. Buchbinder was playing. A sensational concert. Brilliant as usual. One day, we are definitely going to Grafenegg. I love the atmosphere. Classic and fine.
And, what's planned for next week? We are meeting Mick of the Toorington theatre club. See you next week.

Coming-homes are possibly the shortest and sweetest moments of all. Coming-homes are things to look forward to, moments to dream of, and things to hope and pray for as well. And, coming-homes are seldom forgotten. But, there are special coming-homes that happen only once. And, Christian Rinder never forgot his coming-home from war.
It was a hot summer day as Christian Rinder came up the road. It was a long road. And, being back where he was was something he'd never imagined. For him, and millions of others as well, still being alive was a question of chance. And, Christian Rinder had had a very hard war. He had survived Holland, Belgium, and Stalingrad, too. And now, all that mattered was home. And, when he got home the door was wide open. And, there was his mother. She was down on her knees and washing the floor.
And, Christian Rinder just stopped. And, then his mother looked up. And, she froze. This was a moment she had never expected. But, before she could reach him, she fainted. And, he caught her. And, then she fainted again. And, when she came round she was in her son's arms. This was a moment she had never dared dream of. A dream had come true without being a dream.
Coming-homes are beautiful moments. But, the ones that come out of the blue are the nicest and sweetest of all, and, when Christian's girlfriend Lucy arrived it made the moment complete. Coming home is all about those who are waiting. Coming home is the nicest of all!
