RE: A Sublime Sunday

in GEMS4 years ago

So it seems you have had a nice morning walk around your home.
I'm looking forward to see the lilac bush blooming soon, but I'm glad that I can't smell it. I know, that most people like the smell of this bush (German: Flieder), but to be honest, it is a smell which I don't really like. I don't mind it, but if I can avoid to smell it, I will ;)

Your Hubby has done a very good job and has been busy that you'll have a warm and cozy home in Winter :)

I love rhubarb compote and rhubarb cake - the more sour the better ;)
I had to google the German word Kompott and it's funny that compote is almost the same.

Have a nice afternoon and evening, Jo 🙂


Cheers and !BEER

Hi Johann. I did enjoy a walk outside this morning.

My rhubarb patch is small but will get bigger. A friend used to give me rhubarb from her garden and I would freeze some for the winter. Unfortunately she passed away in March and I don’t know if her husband would be as generous. I wouldn’t ask anyway.

I made a rhubarb compote and enjoy it on biscuits. The ones you make with baking powder, flour , milk, shortening. Interesting some German words are close To English.

Thanks for your kindness always. Have a nice evening :)

Good morning Jo,

I'm sorry that you lost your friend.

Your rhubarb (German: Rhabarber) will grow. As far as I can remember our plants at home in my mum's garden have been huge.
I have no idea how to make biscuits or so ;) I do cook sometimes, but I almost always need a recipe and frankly speaking, I have no idea what I'mdoing ;) ... my wife cooks and I eat 😉

I wish you a very nice Monday 🙂


Cheers and !BEER

Thanks for your condolences Johann. I do miss my friend. Her house was only a few kms from me (on my way to Montague) and she always invited me to stop by and then processed to fill the table with food I was expected to eat. . :)

You are so funny! “my wife cooks and I eat.” 😂

The baking powder biscuits were something my Dad used to make and his mother before him. so I keep up the tradition. I use them also when I make strawberry compote. I’m sure they are made in your country but a different name.

Ok, enough talk of cooking but I’m glad you can cook somethings.

Have a wonderful week. 🤗

Always the good ones leave us first.

Good morning Jo,

or I could say I make the dirt and she cleans up 😉

I can cook enough that I wouldn't starve 😉 but you are right, enough of talking about cooking, because there's not much more than I can say.

Have a great day too 😁

Cheers and!BEER

Johann, I think you have it made.😄

Another quiet sunny day here on the East coast Today is actually a holiday ( Victoria Day) but every day runs into the next with the restrictions.

I hope you are staying safe. We haven’t had any new virus cases in weeks and slowly certain things are opening.

I haven’t found an elf for the ‘E’ yet but something somewhat like one. 🤔

Good evening Jo,

we have had a quite nice and warm day too, but for the next days they predict rain - we'll see if they are right ;)

I assume you mean Queen Victoria - a holiday on Monday is nice, but we have a holiday on Thursday, what means I'm not going to work on Friday - looong weekend 🙂

I haven't found any E's yet, but the E challenge hasn't even begun yet ;)
A real Elf would be very special, but also something somewhat like one - maybe a gnome or a troll ;)

We haven't had any new cases neither in Carinthia, but to be honest, I haven't been interested in any Corona news in the past few days. The first children are back at school and we have had the first "normal" working day today.

Wish you a very nice evening, Jo 🙂


Cheers and !BEER

Afternoon Johann, yes, it is Queen Victoria Day.I’ve heard it called by some people as the 2-4 weekend, meaning a 24 case of beer weekend for the campers. I don’t think many people would be camping on the 2 4 weekend this year as the temperature still is below seasonal.

Good you have a normal working day again and children back to school.

The news can be depressing with all that’s on there is the statistics on the pandemic.

Have a pleasant evening. 😊
