You are being envied.

BTW, the "um die Ecke gedacht" uses the "advanced" (or "variety") grid 
style, which I find more aesthetically pleasing (and which probably also 
makes the puzzle easier; then again, I can imagine that the English 
language might be better suited to cryptic crosswords and therefore 
require less tightly packed grids).
