Such a good idea! Wine! Choo-hoo!!!cheering

No latest than today during the lunch, we’ve talked about antioxidants and someone said that red wine was one of them. Is it co-incidence or a sing from above… or perhaps from another dimension… Whoa!

writing Note to self: buy a bottle of red wine closer to weekend.

bowing Imma you are a STAR! Thanks for that. Yes, that is sort of what I gathered, from observing these crazy people!

On Saturday I was at their "Bed racing" ....... I saw "Nuns" swigging beers .... and Monks smoking ........ crazy people of all descriptions ... mostly all centred on looking "Evil and menacing and dirty" .....hahahaaaaa....

I did mention something of this and was told it is something to do with all the demons coming out of the ground in the forests, and being chased away ... so this is all an ancient re-enactment of ancient rites lost in the mists of time and perpetuated as a fun entertainment thing nowadays.

I am betting my last whisky that no-one there will be fasting!grin

The whole scenario has gotten more watered down here in Switzerland, only lasts a day in each village, with no fasting involved. Too much Protestant influence maybe?

Bet my 2nd last Whisky that Herr Conrad comes in here with some more elucidising comments.....grin

So I am gonna take a wild guess, read between the lines, do my best deductions and assume that you are not giving up wine....
