Happy New Year back to you and to everyone on the forum. I remember having Sekt and orange juice (Orange und Sekt?) with my German landlords one New Year's Eve in Wurzburg.
We're going to celebrate the New Year Old Folks style tonight. A nice simple dinner at home, a little wine, then ring in the new with a toast on Greenwich Mean Time. If you're going out and among 'em, drive carefully ... and a very happy New Year to all!
A healthy and prosperous New Year to all forum members, whether I've met you or not! The Gougeres will soon be in the oven and the Champagne is cold!
"There is no green on this planet without the blue." Sylvia Alice Earle:American oceanographer, aquanaut and author. When it comes to making this planet healthy, the next ten years are more important than the last 10,000 years.
Happy arbitrary day in the time continuum, at an interval defined by the orbit of one small planet in the universe since the last similar arbitrary day!
I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.
Happy New Year! May it be filled with peace, prosperity, and kindness for all!
