Most specialists seem to speak very good English.

Discuss with your Doctor. We do not know what your previous levels were, what your health history is and non fasting  affects results.

I would think both- Barclays will want an Englsh copy.j I am sorry to hear of your father's condition- this is a hard time for you. You may well need a lawyer to make sure this is all done correctly.

You will need certified copies of the POA for banks , service providers etc.  

Absolutely correct. As a RN, we were also advised not to even witness documents, unless cleared by HR/ legal department. As to a thank you gift to staff- the posters who suggested chocolates for all  staff are right. Sometimes , a patient might give a nice bottle if wine to the surgeon, but no money. However, we all would receive small gifts from patients at times. You develop close relationship with some patients after major surgery/ illness.

Have you already registered( Anmeldung) in Germany, have a job, health insurance etc?

I do wish them well in a different life. I hope Harry can adjust to a life where he no longer has a daily schedule, and focus. He may well miss the military roles and functions, so the sooner they can decide on their business plan, and how to split their time, and visas, taxes etc., the better!

And his children's TV programme with with Basil Brush, who sent his sympathy on Derek's death.  RIP Derek.

Never mind- as An Instant coffee drinker, I am reading the thread with admiration and awe!

On my recipe pending list!   Anyone here using an instant pot? I have gone through the  pressure cooker, crockpot stages in life, but now happy with oven casseroles, or stove top soups and simmered meals.

John- you need more than cheese sarnies!!  Beth's lentil soup sounds just the ticket! I shall make a batch of yellow pea and ham soup.

Think you mean -" acceptable"?! 

Sorry to hear of your lousy day, John. Things have to get better!
