Dearest, I finally got around to reading this. I think you might find it funny - if you didn’t know already - that the ministry of toilets does exist, it’s an entity called Ordnungsamt which is probably the most German Behördenname ever. ORRD-nungs-AMT!!!. I suppose the entity itself is insanely German, too. They do go around controlling toilets of public spaces. Can you imagine having this job? BUT it does have its perks to live in such a German land, doesn’t it. Especially when one has to pee (or worse) every now and then.
Oh, and btw, as you are now in the UK: I remember how shocked I was to find out on a class trip ages ago that small eateries often do not provide toilets for their customers (I spare you the details of my despair). I do hope that this has changed in the meantime, especially in Oxford and wherever you'll be walking around.
Thanks. That red flag is priceless! Steal it.
Ha! And carry it around flapping from my backpack!
I smiled all the way through this! You’re right: nothing you write could be boring.

This love letter made me chuckle.
