Vorfreude

As some of you will have realised, United winning the Champions League recently means more to me than anything that may happen over the next three weeks. However, walking through Basle (or Basel, to use the German and American spelling) this evening, I think yours truly experienced the first feelings of Vorfreude (pleasant anticipation).

Eeeek!
