Why not just arrange mail forwarding with Deutsche Post?  

Just read about the Beekeeper at Notre Dame- he can see the hives up there, but  no-one knows if they survived.

No, no- Smurf is giving us an Easter gift- another thread!

How long are the absences from Germany and what type of visa do you have? Also, what are your plans regarding your health care insurance while away?

The pensions are paid, but frozen, so no increases!

  If you move to  a non-Europe  country ( Canada, Australia), and become resident there, you will no longer be covered by the UK NHS. You will need to join the health insurances in those countries. Once Brexit finally happens and the U.K. Is no longer in the EU, this status may well be applicable to UK expats. We do not know for certain . Pensions may also be affected. Canada and Australia- no increase to UK pensions!  

Maybe  you could say this is casual, conversational English, rather than  Business level?

Acton- heard of a democratic way of life?  How we choose to decorate/ clothe our bodies is our choice.  Are you against make up cover,  hair colouring, nail varnish?? So- ear piercings for ear-rings?  Those who had reconstructive surgery after breast cancer, and  tattooing is part of this. Shoot them all? Cover tattoos for birth marks, burns, scars?    

And the Haka at the rugby would never be the same!!!

Right, back from the North Sea then?

Well then, how about making that trip down to AOK and asking them? Or would you like me to read through the 80 pages for you

Why not repatriate this son of the Southern Cross  back to Oz , as a POME?

Nursing nightmare as a student- patient needing injections, has full body tattoo. Where to jab the needle!! The positioning landmarks did not seem to  work

You could start with free on-line course with Deutsche Welle. Very interactive, and   starts with basic skills.  You could search for schools/courses on line? Type in German courses near Erding. Also, if you use TT search function- there are several posts/threads on language courses Erding/ Munich. AS well as local Munich meet-ups . Good luck!

While you were out on the North  sea, all your queries, concerns, status etc have been covered in many threads and posts on TT .  Do try search function- using key words. You are registered in Germany? It seems all  of us Brits are receiving notices from the Amts as well, with info about the next steps.
