RDP Thursday: Feast

For most Swiss citizens, this photo shows a plain and simple feast. The cervelat is a celebrated sausage in Switzerland. You can eat it cold, just remove it from the wrapper, remove the skin and eat. The main meal when you are perhaps on holiday and are going for a march somewhere. Just pack the cervelat in the rucksack, perhaps with a tube of mustard, sit in a comfortable spot, and eat together with some bread, or a roll. whatever you have. It is for the most Swiss a full meal when on a march in the mountaines, or in the forest, or just finding a comfortable bench perhaps next to a river.

Of course, for the more adventurous you build a small fire, put your cevelat on a twig that you find on the ground and hold it over the fire until it begins to get heated. A roast cervelat is also a delicacy and it all has room in the rucksack with perhaps some tomatoes or cucumber, whatever vegetable you prefer.

The cervelat is very versatile and can even be served at home when fried with accompanying vegetables. Who needs steak when you have a cervelat. The photo is in my achives and today the price of 2.40 Swiss francs for a pair is now more, but he cost of living in always increasing.

RDP Wednesday: Clump

Today I have absolute no inspiration for clump. So here is a photo of my daily frugal breakfast: an avocado and a slice of bread with small clumps of cottage cheese on it. It might not look appetising, but at the moment I am on a health trip as I have been having problems with blood pressure. I am diabetic as well so I just combine the two. It might look a bit drab and tasteless but I like it. There is also my cup of peppermint tea to wash it down with.

Getting old is not fun, but I do my best. I think I am becoming quite a health expert with everything I eat. Mornings are not so good, but as the day goes by I feel a little more fit and my fatigue disappears slowly as I move and keep myself busy. My physio therapist, Alex, was here this morning. He gives me exercises which I really practice. He even told me that from his MS people, I am the star of the group, although I must say I do not always feel so fit.

He is a nice guy and although he is only half an hour with me, I a glad for his help and support. It is always nice to have a 35 year old visitor bringing some fresh air into my humble life.

RDP Monday: Jaunty

I took the photo whilst shoppig in a store in London. I remember in the days gone bye that you often saw women with curlers in their hair during the day, in preparation for an evening out. It still happens now and I was really captivated by the creation on her head with the rollers in her hair. I hope the effort was worth it for the evening enntertainment. Unfortunately I could not get a better photo of her head, did not want to engage in an argument.

RDP Sunday: Snowflake

One snowlake comes seldom alone, they just tumble from the sky in a mass. I am not a snow lover, but if I can stay inside there is no problem. I just hope that it does not freeze and remain for a few months. We now have November, soon December, and up to now no snow in the lowlands. I hope it remains snowless.
