2 possible answers:
1: In instalments.
or
2: "Carefully"?
Alas neither is true: it's for the local tourist information centre, and it will be part of a display for local products.
It's also a bit of publicity showing that refugees aren't thick/lazy scroungers/violent/only fit to clean toilets et c, but are normal, frequently very skilled people with gifts and abilities who can contribute to our society.

They'll be selling honey, amongst other things. We have six larger versions for things like wine bottles...

Why not use one of those old brass "toot toot" horns with the rubber squeeze bulb in the mean time?
I know someone who has one of those on his rather expensive mountain bike.

At the halfway point of this year's monthly financial reconciliations we are £2200 ahead of our start of year cash flow projection for 2021.
Must start spending more as, despite my wife's best attempts to deplete the kids inheritance pot with expensive hairdos, we are saving too much.
Currently fancying a Casio sports watch that has onboard GPS, can't think of anything else I want except more years and you can't buy those.

The Syrian refugees seem to have a generally good reputation locally, I've talked to a local business owner who employs a Syrian here and he says he wishes he could employ six more: the tend to work hard and well.
This display is in one of the main public buildings in the town so a lot of people will see it: we aren't telling people that the people on our course are hard working/smart et c, we're just giving an opportunity to our clients to show it themselves.
Anyway, I've got a lesson tomorrow: a repetition of the "German verbs in the perfect tense" lessons from this week, and it needs to be interesting and different to the original way it was taught...

My son worked in Kuwait starting up a fish farm. If they wanted to cool off they had to swim in the fish cages for safety due to an influx of great whites. Apparently they followed the livestock boats up the gulf as dead animals were just thrown overboard providing an easy meal for the sharks.

I have had one of these for years but unfortunately the plug for the water tank has rusted so spoils the original look. My original one got lost or stolen during a house move many years ago.

The boat then had open bridge wings so the skipper could stand outside and listen and operate the engine room telegraph from there. Never any problems that I heard of. Modern boat bridges are all enclosed so would not work now.Did the banging of the tray become more rapid like the parking sensors do on cars ?
That is before the crunching sound !

Mines full of white powder, not sure how to open the water tank, the knurled nut turns but doesn't seem to open.

Calcium carbide probably unobtainable nowadays. Used to be a favourite for illicit fishing. Use a screw top bottle then add carbide to a dry bottle, add water then stopper quickly and toss into a likely pool. The resultant explosion stunned the fish who floated to the surface and could be easily collected.
The knurled nut varies the amount of water getting into the powder. My present one is on a high shelf behind me as I write but cannot reach high enough to check anything else just now.
