#Faschingsdienstag

Tuesday 17th, Faschingsdienstag, Shrove Tuesday, 5.20, -0.5dg. It is warm outside so we obviously have cloud cover. Forecasting a mixed bag but dry day today. For the mountain mostly dry. Freeze-thaw conditions (max 3°C on Thu morning, min -4°C on Mon night). Yesterday was a day spent celebrating the Birthday of her who is best nameless... What a hoot. I decided that there is no point in buying a gift for someone who has everything so I broke all my rules and purchased a Leberkäse Semmel. This is something I have a real problem with as, I believe that you should only eat meat in its original form so you know what you are eating... she believes that this is the nectar from heaven.. Gross. I bought one put a candle in it and presented it to her on her arrival from the feld.. Hilarious. She was thrilled one for the idea but more importantly she understood the gift's meaning as she knows my abhorrence of these things. Bubbles on the terrasse in the sun and a plan created for today. Luncheon and something for six here at 12.30 then we will prepare to walk up to the village for the Faschingsumzug. Yesterday I decided to go with blue accents... Hair, eyes and nails. I now know that the blue streaks I have put all over my hair are going to be a little more permanent that I first thought as I tried washing one out last night ... Oh dear silly billy. Time will sort it out. So the plan for the day organised, luncheon prepared, time frames, apart from the early part of it all, are anyone's guess... Happy celebrations, my last Fasching. Krapfen, streamers, confetti, music, schnapps, wine, beer, wonderful parade, and much much more...
