A day in the year of.....

Well - seems that I lost a week somewhere!
I was just going to celebrate Karneval today when I thought it strange that there was nothing on the TV from Germany.
Yes - the French were going on about Carneval in Nice, something else went badly wrong in Rio, but nothing from Germany! Well - now I know why.....
I'm sure you all know about Carneval, Karneval, Fasching, Mardi Gras and all the rest, but did you know that one of the traditional table feasts on these days, at least in Germany, is this:     I have investigated with no success. I'm not sure, it could be "leberwurst" or "chocolate mousse", I think the little eyes are egg white rounds with black olive slices, on the other hand, it could be what you first thought - Karneval is a crazy time.....!
It comes from the Blog http://frauliebe.typepad.com/frauliebe/7-sachen/ (in German) but I can't find a description. It might interest French, American or British ladies to have a peek and see just how similar you all really are....!
In any case, the festivals are already here, and they'll last until "Maundy Thursday"  - next Tuesday will see the German males getting their ties cut off - symbolically (don't ask me for what) but since it's generally a tie the wife gave them for Christmas, it's not too much of a loss...strangely enough, I'm not aware of any "punishment" for the ladies - doesn't seem terribly correct does it.....

Anyway - sorry about the mistake - just wait a week, and................


Have a nice time......

A Scotsman. Essentially   speaking, one of the 'foundling' countries of the 'Union of Great Britain',also known as the 'United Kingdom'or simply 'UK',Scotland is currently (2021) seriously reflecting the withdrawal from the 'Union of Great Britain'and reclaiming the statute of an Independent Nation. Scotland - Ecosse - Schottland. The aim of this is simple - it is wished, by the Scots, to rejoin the Union of European States, known as the EU, from which they were illegally forced to retire by the illegal Referendum, known as 'Brexit'-which forced British Union Citizens to vote on the subject of leaving the EU,or staying in it - Well over 50% of the Scots voted 'remain in Europe' An overwhelming result. The UK Government in Westminster,nonetheless,used the fact that marginally over 50% of ALL British voted to leave, hence 'Brexit', against the will of the Scottish people and the Scottish Government. In Scotland, the National

The Empire is dead...Long live the Empire...?

Just what is going on over there in the old Empire land? Once upon a time... HP Sauce has moved to Holland...Dutch treat! Baked beans are leaving too...! Airfix kits bankrupt,but struggling on armed with plastic Spitfires...! The Queen being acted out (better than the original,I understand) by an ageing actress... QEII & Helen Mirren. PMs who can't decide where,when,how & why to disappear... May & Johnson - if they would just go. All in all, since Mr le Marquis' departure, it's been all downhill, which is why He's back, in text, to make you all aware of the damage you are doing. He's staying where He is, all the same - mr le Marquis du Galipot. You can't tell me that Europe isn't infinitely better than a small, lost island, full of arrogant people who insist that everybody else must bow to them, but who they don't really need. Pride & Arrogance, no Prejudice. That's English. The majority of Empire citizens nowadays have a skin colou
