Incidentally, we have this term "der rote Faden" in our language (roughly, "the red thread"). It means something like "unifying theme", or "common motif" or "north direction". If something is just a mess and doesn't make sense, the we say "der rote Faden fehlt" ("the red thread is missing"). Maybe it's the same?<br /><br />Kudos to your sister!<br /><br />Best, ThomasThomas Rinkhttp://www.picturesfromthezone.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-21520559843937764322016-11-15T13:37:30.805-08:002016-11-15T13:37:30.805-08:00Beautiful.
