HODGEPODGE APRIL 14

 1. Do you celebrate Easter? If so what are your plans this year? Did you have egg hunts as a kid?

Of course we celebrate Easter especially in Germany where I am coming from. Meanwhile the Belgians do it too, there is only a very strange difference we get our eggs from the Easter Bunny, while in Belgium and France the bells from Rome bring the eggs. Difficult to understand ! But as a bunny is more cute then a church bell, you see more bunnies here now then bells ! On the above picture you see my Easter tree from last year. I have no plans this year. Probably I will see Rick.

I also had a lot of fun in collecting the hidden eggs, which my grandma had colored in all colors and my grandpa hidden in the garden. So well that sometimes the following year I found an egg or two from the year before !  

2. What's your favorite bread to find in a bread basket? 

 

A baguette (French long bread) 

3. Your favorite chick flick? 

Google explained to me that  Chick flick is a slang term, sometimes used pejoratively, for the film genre catered specifically to women's interests, and is marketed toward women demographics. They generally tend to appeal more to a younger female audience and deals mainly with love and romance.

Nothing for me I love movies like Midsommer Murders, Vera, or Lewis  

4.Tax day is rapidly approaching in the US of A...what's something you currently find 'taxing'? 

Same here unfortunately nothing to do. What I find scandalous is that retired people have to pay taxes on their pension, which is the money they payed every month to get a pension !!

5. Have you ever ridden in a taxi? Do you have a funny-scary-crazy-interesting taxi story to share? Do you use any of the newer taxi-like services such as Uber? 

Very often especially when I travel. Yes one day in London I asked the driver to take me to the Waterloo station. Ok, I climbed in the taxi and off we went. Then after a while he asked me from where I was coming. From Waterloo I told him. Waterloo ??? he said, so I have to drive you home ? No I answered I am coming from the city Waterloo in Belgium, where Wellington won the battle .... with the result that I had to tell him the whole story fortunately we arrived just when I finished ! I have never tried Uber for the simple reason that I never found one.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Just when I had decided to arrange my terrace it started to rain today. I want to run or fly away and leave all my worries behind me. Each day is the same when I think it over my life is like a pearl necklace.I think I badly need holidays, I have no energy since a long time I think this Covid period has affected us all !
