FOWC with Fandango: Apprentice

This is the younger me, perhaps no so young, but in the office I was not an apprentice. I was a fully qualified export clerk. However now I am at home and yes, again an apprentice. I deal with all the payments, generally by phone, but also on the computer. Now various Insurances are to be dealt with. Another new game is organising income tax rebates for our various problems. Today I was at the village midday lunch organised for the Golden Oldies that live here. It was really enjoyable and I had the opportunity to have a discussion with the village president/boss or whatever. The result was that I afterwards made a stop at the village government office and have more complicated forms to complete for extras which we might be entitled to. Yes, I am again an apprentice, but it is never too late to learn. I would add that in my work I was in charge of the apprentices in our department but they were youngsters and I am now 75 years old.

RDP Freitag: Lantern

Our town is full of lanterns, but this one is a carnival lantern. In the evening it is illuminated and it covered with illustrations from the current carnival motto. It would be a little difficul to translate as it is all in Swiss German dialect and are more inside jokes of the year. Of course I understand it all, but you have to have the feeling for the carnival jokes – I suppose.
