Random Idiom

You know the phrase "It's raining cats and dogs"?

Well the Danish have their own version: det regner skomagerdrenge. That translates to "It's raining shoemakers apprentices".

Those crazy Danes!

I am Immortal!

One achievement I forgot to mention in my year recap is the finishing of a 2 year project. It was called.... Winelander. An amazing combination of three buck chuck and a series from the early nineties.

The exact reason why we started watching it is lost in the fuzzy corners of my mind but I'm fairly sure it had something to do with a certain oddly accented star, the deliciously cheezy fight scenes and special effects...and sailor jerry.

A wonderful side point was the clothes oh the clothes. A glimpse into the heart of nineties fashion that would curdle the blood of anyone who retains the gift of sight. Shoulder pads and jackets with enough fabric to cover a small African elephant.

Our wine of choice morphed from Charles Shaw's Cabernet to his Shiraz. With random other brands thrown in every week or so. As the weather turned warmer we started in on Chardonnay but one thing was clear, white wine and Highlander don't mix! Our viewings went down from 3 nights a week to one, and finally we stopped altogether. A summer went by.

Once the weather turned our thoughts turned as well, back to our old friend. Aside from a loud and ongoing dispute about which episode came next (I am telling you Katie we did NOT see the ep. with that guy from SGU who hunted with a pack of rottweilers. How would I not remember that??) the rest of the show passed in a wine, cheese and fruit filled haze. It was magical.

Another year goes by...

Can't say it's been uneventful. Let's see...(in no particular order)

Ah the chickens at the State Fair. Pictured are bearded, booted Mille Fluer D'uccles.
