Swiss Miss

I’ve always had a fondness for the Swiss, thanks to Stefan and his serenades.  Well … that fondness only grew yesterday after attending the opening of Maison de la Suisse.

Maison de la Suisse at Bridges on Granville Island

Very quickly I came to the realization that Switzerland is a Nation that has a fondness for many of the same thing as me – good cheese, chocolate, sausage, wine and views. And best of all, they shared this with those of us that joined them for the Opening. One Swiss gentleman, even let me bite into his schnitzel. Nom, nom, nom nom …

For Gudrun’s on their 1st Birthday!

In case you hadn’t heard, my favourite 1-year old, Gudrun, just celebrated their first birthday!! In honour of their birthday and our mutual appreciation for cheese:

Can’t help grinning from ear to ear every time I watch this as the mouses dance moves remind me of Patrick.

FFR’s Wiley Weekly Word: Balderdash

This week’s word: Balderdash

Balderdash:  Total and complete nonsense. ie the sounds that usually come out of a two-leggers mouth

‘If a two-legger tries to tell you that the tray of smelly cheese on the coffee table is not for cats, that’s utter balderdash. As the supreme being, we felines will dine on whatever we wish, whenever we wish.’

It is complete balderdash that no one has served me yet. Photo by Cyrus Bulsara
