Before going on with any sort of complaint against German ugliness in times (yes, we can do this too, obviously) just wanted to announce that in September it will happen for Ali to relocate here, which i really am looking forward to! Of course a bit of excitement is also go, how could it not, it’s a giant step for both of us.
And to make sure, he might not be feeling too foreign over here, just have been strolling around the net to find some other blogs, as yet, it’s a task for him to read the german ones. And mind you, once you start, you might find a whole bunch of other ones too, which i might take into the blogroll sooner or later, starting with these ones:
An all-around-the-rhine-area-page to find out about the newest things to happen, picked up in the towns’ suggestions of the easyjet magazine, which itself contains some links to
Well, we are not from cologne, we are not too far away neither. So let’s just have a watch and then
which Ali might find amazing, as it picks up some pretty nature related topics obviously and seems very lovely to read. I mean, growing purple cauliflower for one who has got nice experiences regarding “cauliflowerheads” might do very well (insider…haha..sorry)
So let’s watch them all, and see, what we can find next.
Can’t wait for September! Anja
Oh Sweetheart!..That was lovely!
and I have a theory on the Purple Cauliflower ” thing, and although the link maybe somewhat tenuous, at first glance, ..hear me out and see what you think..
I think there is a complex and subliminal relationship between “Cauliflowers” and Pensioners of the female persuasion…( Little Old Ladies!…although that is not very politically correct,..phew!..good thing I didn’t write that on the blog, eh!???..)..
Anyway, there seems to be a time in a Woman’s life, when, one Morning, they get up, draw back the curtains, look longingly and lovingly upon the first sights of day, smilingly head towards the kitchen to make a coffee, and think, “It’s time to be the proud owner of a mass of white, tight curly hair!..I wish to be at One with the Cauliflowers”
When One draws a Pension it is, of course, “Party Time”..this is the time of life when the Old Un’s, give it ALL back!…walk down the street four abreast across the pathway…walking ..oh so slowly….and getting kicks out of it too,..being well aware that it is rush hour, and we are all heading for the trains..all the Men dressed in Tweed Jackets and cloth caps!..( where the HELL do they get those from..I know of NO store that sells them!)..stopping and pointing at Houses saying, “I remember when all this was fields”…
Bless ‘em!…Old Men saying those lines has only ever worried me twice, ( A) when an Old Geezer was saying it in a field,..surrounded by other fields,..and ( B) When a particularly runny- nosed Gent, was pointing outwards with his stick on board the Dover to Calais Ferry.
ANYWAY!..I digress!
The Grannies have taken to shocking the shoppers in the Supermarkets, by hiding in the Vegetable section, and the obvious choice is?…Yep! You guessed it!, ” The Cauliflower Section”
Now, Fruit ‘n Veg, always looks good,..but until you give it a little squeeze, one cannot be certain..so I had it in mind, one evening, to make a nice and scrummy Cauliflower Cheese,..next day, I walked to the Supermarket and made my way to the Vegetable section,..upon finding the Cauliflowers I spied four beauties right in the middle section,..I gave them a little squeeze…and to my surprise, I heard the sound of giggling!..I looked around, to see if anyone else had heard it…turned back to the Cauliflowers, to see four Little Granny faces smiling up at me!…” Off you go you Pervert!..” they cackled..and sank down among the vegetables again with a cry of, “NEXT!!!”
I was up for some fruit too, but that experience certainly made me change my mind about the Bananas.
So!..Yes!..there we have the “Cauliflower/Granny” link,..and, what is more, these ladies are sometimes partial to the odd “Purple Rinse”..could it be, that somehow a “Purple Rinsed Cauliflower Haired Granny”..has, possibly interbred with a Wild Cauliflower, in a bizarre cross pollinating shocking mutation?
Its worth a thought…( just a small one)..but, Hey!..You NEVER know!.. I saw stuff like that on the X-Files..( remeber that?)..so it CAN happen!

Brilliant Pages, my Love!!!!
Thankyou so much!!!!
and, so far, I have been welcomed most warmly and enjoyed meeting with Kasi too!
Can’t wait to be over…
You know?
Ali
Hmmm…you!! I was not really aware of that traumatic part in your life so far…haha…
Wouldn’t mind getting an explanation about the vegetable section though, later on…however
Anja
Oh Yes!!!…and as for the bag of “Mixed Nuts”..well!, I took a pass on that too!
One brilliant thing about the Supermarket, though, is that when you have collected all your shopping, and taken it to the check out, and they have scanned it through and given you a total,…they ask,..”Would you like any cash back?”…
I think this is both kind and extremely generous!
I always reply in the affirmative, saying, “Yes Please!..could you give me the exact amount to cover my shopping?”
They duly oblige, and I walk off smiling, because, this being the case, it turns out that I have been getting my shopping, absolutely free of charge, for the past three years!
A Big Big Thank-You to all those nice and kind people in the Supermarkets!!!!!
Looking forward to the weekend!!
Oh YES!!!!!!
