wild flowers, wild life and other wild things

Life in Germany is colourful

, , , ...

Do you know, that we are living in one of the nicest place in Germany? The "wild" south west! And here it is the southern Black-Forest.

From our home to Switzerland and to France we only have to drive a few minutes. It is a big advantage, to live at the frontier of three nations and their different cultures and lifestyles: we pick the best from all... but this is another story.

The Black-Forest is a bit dark, because the big number of firs, but it really isn't black.

This morning I took a photo. After that, I transfered it to my desktop and was surprised. It looks like a picture of an old children's book or a Christmascard: a really winter wonderland.

With this impression ...



a Merry Christmas (Bon Noel - happy Holidays - schöne Weihnachten) to all my friends
and a healthy, happy and successful New Year.

This year we are having a „pretty“ Christmasdinner

, , , ...

Every country has it’s own Christmas traditions. The Christmas dinners are different as well.

We planned a „pretty“ dinner for this year: it will be
- pretty stinky
- pretty fat
- pretty rich.

It is called Raclette. The origin of it is Switzerland.
It is a one course meal, which basicly consists of cheese, which is roasted in a special device on the table.

With this we serve potatoes, fresh tomatoes, pineapple, mixed pickles, bacon and ham. And to support the “stinky” part of it, we offer fresh onion/garlic bread.

I am very much interested in your dinner - plans. Let me know.

Life in Germany is dangerous

, ,

1. approximately 30.000 Germans die from diagnostic errors or wrong medical treatment
2. about 6.800 Germans die in traffic accidents
3. 5.900 Germans die in household accidents and
4. passive smoking kill 3.300 Germans........
every year!

If you want to conform your life according to these statistics, it would mean:
1. do not consult a doctor - he might mistakes!
2. do not leave your home - you might be killed by a car!
3. do not clean your home and do not do any laundry - you might hang yourself at the clothesline!
4. do not go to bars, cafes or restaurants - smokers could be there!

f**k the statistics! Life is beautiful in spite of all the possible dangers! plus:
:happy: my doc loves me because I see him once a month,
:happy: I love driving my car and on top of this I do not hesitate to use trains and aircrafts,
:happy: I regulary clean my home, do the dishwashing and do my laundry, because I do not like to live in a home which looks like a piece of shit and
:happy: I do love to go to bars and restaurants, because I do tolerate nonsmokers.

So: enjoy life as is, because it is too short to worry!
Best wishes :heart:
