    <p>Thank you Marika,</p>
    <p>while I did not allocate any time to this over the holidays, I am
      keen to see what has changed. I do object to the deadline tomorrow
      though, precisely because the holiday season we have just
      completed prevented any meaningful work from being done and our
      day-jobs also necessitate some catching up in the next few days. A
      deadline of next week would be more appropriate.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>Best,</p>
    <p>Volker<br>
