Francesca’s Dolls’ Columns

My Lifestyle

It’s official: I am a demanded top model! 😎

Well, you be the judge as to whether “top” might actually be over the top (even though my husband says no) and “demanded” won’t hold true because I wasn’t really asked. 😉

Anyway, it is a fact that I am featured prominently in “Le Rubriche delle Dolls”! 🙂

As a kitchen maid presenting Mamis Gulasch rather than a fashion model but it still counts! 😄

You’re probably wondering what’s the deal. Well, a few months back, my good friend Ludovica from Italy texted me about a book-making class working on a project for their final exam.

Cherry Picking

My Fashion

One might argue that, since undergoing breast reduction, I can no longer refer to my twins as melons. Fair enough! But cherries? 🤨

Then again, who wouldn’t enjoy sweet cherries on their cup cakes? 🍒

Plus, my lovely husband is quite a cherry picker when it comes to new clothing that he feels I might look sexy in.

And so, when he saw this “Elegant Fashion Bodycon Dress with Cherry Print” on the internet, he just couldn’t resist. Trusting he wouldn’t be able to resist me, either, I put it on right upon delivery.

Sexy in Pink

My Sensuality

If you follow me on social media, you knew that I was going to show you my favourite nightwear here at my “place”. And here it is:

It’s a “Heart & Letter Graphic Contrast Binding Ruffle Hem Cami Pajama Nightdress Holidayseason” (sic!) from SHEIN.

I have combined it with a kimono that didn’t originally come with the nightdress. But from the colour and the subtle sleeve embroidery, they are perfect match. 😍

It’s a highly comfy attire. It’s easy to put on, easy to take off – no head removal required.

Bitchy Pasta Salad

My Kitchen

You’ve been invited to a barbecue and wish to contribute with a savoury salad? Then the “Bitchy Pasta Salad” is what you want!

I know what you’re thinking and you’re right. How can a pasta salad be bitchy?

Well, a dish needs a name. And if a specific person is responsible for the recipe, they should be credited for it. Honour to whom honour is due.

Harry used to refer to his cheating, gaslighting ex-wife as “bitchy ex” and he says that, in the long run, the only things she proved good for was f**king and pasta salad.

Hooray! We’ve struck oil!

My Sensuality

I love my spa days. I’ve told you about them before.

Usually, they consist of a… let’s say… workout followed by a nice warm bath and a fresh powdering treatment so my body will feel nice and silky again. 😊

This is already a very sensual affair and can sometimes lead to yet another… let’s say… workout afterwards. 😉

About twice a year, I receive an upgrade in the form of an oil message while still in the tub after the water has drained.

My hubby says it’s very important that the breasts in particular are oiled and massaged thoroughly.

“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 they asked you to lend them your “handy” (mobile phone)? 🙄

And don’t get me started about “public viewings”… 🤦🏻‍♀️

“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 Sensuality

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.
