Can I have a Cafe Fertig please - that is coffee with Schnapps, need that now, boring meetings.... Yawn...

Yeah there Black and White Russians - not trying to be racist. Love them both, prefer milk though.

Wow @Former-Member - where do you come to know of this name? My father is Swiss German, so I know it well...

Cheers. 🙂

[Former-Member]

Switzerland @Silenus - well spotted!

Say Gruezi to your Dad 🙂 Do you speak German?

[Silenus]

Ahhh Switzerland...

One of my great loves, this diverse country of mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, glaciers...

My heart beats for my Swiss heritage, as it does for my Danish heritage, as it does for my Australian heritage...

Grüezi mitenand to you and yours, @Former-Member (and I'm doing it in that lovely sing-song way, putting lots of love and laughter and warmth into it)...

[Silenus]

I shall say hi to my daddy-o from you @Former-Member 🙂

Thanks for activating some wonderful floods of warm and lovely memories of my times with my Swiss family when I was 6 years old, and again at age 23...

Ahhh... fond loving stunningly beautiful memories...

I was born in Denmark, in a port town (can I mention names of my birth town @NikNik or @Former-Member or other Mod on duty? (Waves cheerily to Mods - hello my lovelies))...

I spoke Danish and a smattering of Swiss German words...

Every night when tucking me in back in Denmark, my dad would say a thing to me. I don't quite know how to write it properly, but I will try semi-phonetically...

"Gute nacht, schlaf gurt und träum süers von a sure holtzoepfael..."

The rough translation into English is - "Good night, sleep well and dream sweetly of sour wood-apples..."

Hahaha... Chuchichäschtli... giggle... I can do the proper "hrrr" sound... I put a lot of gusto into it...

By virtue of my father being Swiss, I am Swiss. My passport expired a while back, but I can get another if I want. The benefits of dual citizenship...

But the English language, that is my greatest love...

Cheers peeps... 🙂

Huggles...
