“Cat Content” at Sicily’s Place

My Fashion

Anglicisms are English terms that have found their way into the linguistic usage of another language. Not everybody likes them but I, myself, am fine with them as long as they’re not bogus.

My dear Anglo friends, you might understand if some German fellow told you he was in his “homeoffice” (working from home). But what if he asked you to lend him your “handy” (mobile phone)? 🙄

“Cat content” (cats on the internet) is another bogus anglicism common in German which really disturbs my yin and yang.

Spiekeroog cut short

My Travels

As you may remember, we have had some bad luck with our holiday plans with Harry collapsing on a tram a year ago and him twisting his ankle last November.

This time, it was bronchitis that my lovely husband contracted on the island of Spiekeroog which forced us to cut our holiday short. 😢

On the day of our arrival, we celebrated Liverpool winning the Premier League. The day after, Harry needed to undergo a full day of irrigation, a procedure related to his disability. And then the next day, his airways closed up.

Räuberfleisch 🔥

My Kitchen

I like it spicy – not only in the bedroom but also in the kitchen. 😉

“Räuberfleisch” (literally translates to: robber’s meat) is a delicious, spicy meat dish.

In Germany, we have a saying which can be translated as “you also eat with your eyes”.

And rarely has this been as true as with this dish. It looks great and colourful during preparation, then savoury and delicious when it goes into and comes out of the oven. 😋

And I’m sure it would also look great on the plate if Hubby was as talented at serving as he is at cooking.

Sweet Caroline

My Travels

🎼 …Good times never seemed so good… 🎵

We had long planned to stroll from Harlesiel to the museum harbour of Carolinensiel along the small river Harle. But either the weather or the bus schedules were in the way.

This time, four days ago, we had a way better timing. So, we hopped on a bus in Bensersiel to take us to Harlesiel harbour.

At Harlesiel harbour, we first checked out at the memorial of the local burial at sea shipping company because my husband plans to one day use their services.

It is a beautifully decorated place for sure but is was also a hard pill to swallow for me to be reminded that the day will come that my lovely husband will not be there for me anymore.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

My Sexy Side

My husband and I are huge Liverpool fans. When we booked our holiday trip a few months ago, we had no idea that a really meaningful match would take place while we would be here.

So yesterday, right upon our arrival at our holiday flat on the island of Spiekeroog, Harry and I quickly set up our laptop, turned on the WiFi, found ourselves a stable stream, donned our Liverpool shirts and watched the game against Tottenham.

We beat the “Spurs” 5-1 at Anfield, thus prematurely clinching the Premier League title.
