Found!

The missing ear-stud has been found, though not by me and even though I searched high and low for it, mostly low. Big sis is amazed. Now as long as I don't lose it on the way back home .....

Spent most of today on the terrace before visiting Peter then heading off to the pictures again - Der unverhoffte Charme des Geldes - and stretching my German to its limit and beyond before just giving up and following the gist of things. Still enjoyed it though.
