1. I think she threw her sickle into the air in protest at having to work on the Sabbath and it hung there. Hurrah, am quite right. According to The Austria Booklet:
• St Notburga was born in Rattenburg in Tirol and came to Eben as a farm worker. The farmer made his employees work on a Sunday but St Notburga prayed for a sign from God that this was wrong and according to legend, threw her sickle into the air where it was suspended on a shaft of sunlight. Frankly I think that sounds very dangerous; and it is not behaviour that I would encourage. You could take someone’s eye out…
3. for moment there thought you had multiple apparitions of St N taking pics in the NH museum & was quite worried...
4. It is yes. That was an esp splendid game. Called to a sad halt, IIRC, by your having to leap off the bus...
5. It was, mon chou, the spring of 2005. Which is an awfully long time ago. Oh - the telephone museum, it was glorious...
