Happy new year CP. We watched a movie too on NYE. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I love the Potter movies with all the fantastic British actors.

Hey, we had a winter's day last wednesday. Unbelievable. We had snow, wafer-thin, but it snowed. Temperature around zero C. I was wearing a wolly hat, scarf and gloves and it felt like winter. I was happy. Thursday: 13 C

I hope all you Australians are safe and stay safe. The news are heartbreaking.

Wonderful cheesy video. The hot dogs are the best dancing act in any 80s video

We're going to have our traditional New Year's Eve meal: Tafelspitz (boiled beef). A classic dish of the Viennese cuisine. It's served with horseradish sauce, chive sauce, roasted potatos, green beans and a mixed salad. For the dessert I got some kind of French crullers from the bakery. Also a traditional new year's food. Accompanied by a fine Bordeaux and a much finer Crémant d'Alsace. Have a nice New Year's Eve everyone

Rest in peace, Neil Innes

Cheers

I love this compilation

I agree entirely. There's no christmas without Bach, Händel and my beloved christmas concerto by Arcangelo Corelli.

We spend Heiligabend, the 24th, traditionally with the in-laws. We had duck breast with date sauce, red cabbage and Klöße (dumplings) My mother-in-law is the queen of desserts, cookies and cakes. We had (everything homemade!) - Vanilla ice cream (outstanding) with raspberry sauce (devine) - Tiramisu (outstanding) - Lemon cream (very well) + christmas cookies (simply the best) I really needed a digestive bitter afterwards Today: leftovers Merry christmas to all the fellow zepheads all over the world

Merry christmas and a happy new sports year ⚽ ⚾ 🏀 🏈 🏒 🏏

Congratulations to Liverpool to the Club World Cup 🏆 What is Carlo Ancelotti doing at Everton? Kind of semi retirement?

Last wednesday we had 17C - above zero, not below. They should sell sangria at the christmas markets instead of mulled wine. I stopped dreaming of a white christmas, one horse sleighs and chestnuts roasting and adapted my christmas songs playlist:

Thank you so much, Kiwi. Fantastic, interesting stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation, Kiwi. Sounds great. But we don't have Netflix. I ordered the Monty Python by Monty Python book and I'm looking forward to reading it.

Hey, Manchester is red again

Impossible to choose a favorite version of Tobacco Road. Sorry Jimmy, no Nashville Teens

José's back in town - smiling and wining. I'm sorry for Pochettino. He did such a great job at Tottenham. I watched some of their CL matches over the last 2 years and was delighted. They played very well, very entertaining football.

The Pythons by the Pythons book looks interesting. Would you recommend it, Kiwi? Considering to buy myself the Norwegian Blu-Ray DVD set for christmas 🎄
