Anyone from the UK?

[Ironfan]

Away from home....the chaos of not putting out the recycling this week, it's going to be a nightmare...

Though if you're away, you're not creating more recycling so it should balance itself out

Good thanks. It's good to know I have friendly Lit strangers along side me mid week

Beautiful walk by the sea so far today, now a fresh coffee.

Well I'm a day closer to having the van mobile again, waiting on a replacement engine.

This may be a daft question, but is the "am Main" added because there is another Frankfurt and the two might get confused? My brain being what it is, I've wondered this for twenty odd years. My capacity for inertia being what it is, I haven't been arsed to Google it...

I read that as Feuerzangenbowie - presumably David's somewhat volatile brother - but that's what happens when you peer at a phone screen without coffee or bifocals.

You are such a howl!!

There are indeed 2 Frankfurts in Germany. The one I live in is along the river called the Main. The other is along the river Oder on the border with Poland.

I love Feuerzangenbowle. Red wine with rum and melted sugar. It packs a punch!!

 

[Anastasia1999]

There is Frankfurt am Oder as well.

Think that correct, was told that years ago but someone from there

There is. Frankfurt an der Oder as the Oder is feminine. Hehehehe!!

 

[Anastasia1999]

Hope you and everyone has a good day too.

I'm off work again due to the cold/flu from last week. Can't shake the cough that goes with it.

Hope you feel better soon.

Welcome home. Buy some kippers for breakfast and pretend you are still in Norway.

 

[Ironfan]

Hope you feel better soon.

If I could just shake the cough, I'd be fine.

Have you tried some manuka honey or a cough bottle?

i have Brunost, much better than kippers

 

[spawnofdavey]

Neither of those sound fun

Give me a bacon sandwich with and egg and black pudding or some nice porridge with syrup.

A hot tea with honey and a squeeze of lemon usually works. I've also roasted a bulb of garlic and ate that - it worked, too.
