Abstract: Autobiography or confessional? The title is not plagiarised from the literary offering by a certain Mr. Tim Griggs, but that of a short story that has been languishing in my archives for over ten years, an ironic comment on the requirement in modern Western society for a female to be attached and the difficulties in attaining this state of “bliss”.

  1. I’m fairly sure that the metal horse thing is in Heidelberg (Heidelberger Druckmaschinen building, somewhere near the train station), but where is the rest? I can’t remember the Dienstmann, at least my sister hasn’t shown him to me. And some of the sculptures don’t look like they’re from the castle.

  2. It is indeed all Heidelberg, with only one piece of sculpture from the castle itself, the Art Nouveau adorning the facade of the University library.
