Well, Anthony's been in...

to say 'hello'

but we never did have the much advertised visit from Benedetti. I've had the camera ready and waiting every day 8-)

Seven days, if I can find my way from the Mythos ...

If he pops in again, Adriana, tell him that OG says "Hi" and hopes he has a great holiday. He is a very nice fellow.

Benedetti, ah well, shes probably arranging her soires

Maybe she got those milky whites sunburnt. :?:

by **Adriana** » 20 Sep 2006, 14:19

Quite overcast here today so sunburn unlikely (see webcam!) and it actually rained for two minutes when I went to the kiosk for my Haribo fix... :cry:

by **Mille** » 20 Sep 2006, 14:39

Haribo you say??

What's your favorite, Adriana??

by **Adriana** » 20 Sep 2006, 14:45

All forms of liquorice... 8-)

by **Mille** » 20 Sep 2006, 14:59

So do I!
OG, behave yourself. Remember who's got the red pencil now :twisted:

It's a legacy from my early years in Germany, along with a liking for marzipan (especially marzipankartoffeln and Mozart kugeln) and a well-established fondness for beer, bratwurst and potato salad... :geek:

by **Mille** » 20 Sep 2006, 15:26

I have no idea what mozart kugeln and marzipankartofeln are (mozart balls??

)
But a sandwich with marzipan and nougat, yum

Beer, bratwurst and tatosalad.. well, the tatosalad, if I make it myself. Beer.. Only Dark Ale from Newcastle :geek:

(- and only � a glass, because I get so sleeeeeepy :!:

)

When my father was singing at Kiel Opera House I remember being taken to Copenhagen on the ferry at least once. As this predated my first spectacles it was something of a blur but I do remember potato salad featuring in that outing too, along with late summer night picnics on the shores of the Kiel canal

All my earliest recollections are connected with food...

*ROFL*
I'll make potatosalad for ya next time I'm on Symi and bring a whole lot of Liquorice too

by **Sunshine** » 20 Sep 2006, 23:26

...Ahh, my Scandinavian delight...the dark ale from Newcastle (my other delight)...take the ferry over sometime...

by **Sunshine** » 20 Sep 2006, 23:28

...But not in the next 2 weeks, 'cos I'll be on.......SYMI

by **Ozzie Geoff** » 21 Sep 2006, 03:06

Mille, I'd never upset anybody who likes marzipan and nouget sandwiches

I bet you cure a hangover with a sardine milkshake.

I've mellowed, Mille, a paragon of courtesy and tolerance. :mrgreen:

Mozartkugeln are little marzipan, jelly and chocolate balls wrapped in foil with a picture of Mozart on the wrapping. Speciality of Salzburg, but they'd already crossed the border into Bavaria when I was doing my au pairing stint there - practically lived on them!

Marzipankartoffeln are little 'potatoes' made out of firm marzipan rolled in cocoa powder.

Ever thought of writing a book, Adriana? What an interesting life you have had, Germany/Austria, trips over Europe, Israel, South Africa and now Greece. Wonderful!!
Can I ask where you were born?

Brighton, Sussex, because my father was singing at Glynbourne but I was only 6 weeks only when we left for Germany where we lived for the first 5 years of my life.
