Wanted: woman

As you might have noticed have had little inspiration for the blog lately (and you guys are not helping!). No comments, because Aussie girl is in Fiji and my most faithful reader who actually comments on a regular basis. So was chatting with a friend today, who's looking for a woman. Tried to interview him to get description and promised to put it here as a wanted-ad. This is his description: " ". A whole lotta nothing. I take it that he doesn't know what he is looking for. Any woman takers out there who wants a guy who doesn't know his own USP?

Zürich is No 1

Front page of Heute today tells me that Zürich enjoys the highest purchase power in the world. As if I didn't know. Once again, Zürich No 1.

Famous Swiss

What does this remind you of?

This is the beginning of the feuerzangenbowle...say no more.

Feuerzangenbowle

Tonight I'm invited to something called Feuerzangenbowle. It sounds kinda hmmm, how can I put it, not so good. But I like the sound of caramelizing, is it like sweets? Soon I will know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerzangenbowle PS. I didn't really get an answer to my question yesterday. I guess it's hard to compare with something you never had.

Bad idea

Why fat people shouldn't bungeejump.

Strap-on

A conversation today with English girl. Started out we had been to the toilet together, you know the way women do. Mind you, not the same actual toilet. I complained that I had one of these days where I pee a lot for no apparent reason. The body's way of telling me I have too much fluid in me. So, complaining in general about being a woman, but pointing out that I didn't want a sex change. That's when she said thoughtfully "I wonder what it would be like to be a man?". So I suggested she'd try walking around with a strap-on for a day... PS. Having dinner with gay friend this evening. Will ask what it's like and report back.

Tenerife - nightlife

One night we had dinner at a fancy place. So fancy that they had a piano-player. Mind you, it was more machines than player but never mind. My friend had taken salsa classes, and as you know so had I. So we went for it. After I went to the ladies, and was approached by this somewhat older lady. She said "I just want to say you danced fantastically. Stan and I used to do that too before I had my dual hip replacement". Hmmm. Told my friend when back on the dancefloor and gentleman as he is, he suggested we changed partners. Meaning I got to dance with the man with big belly and bad breath, but must admit ever so nice. The couple told us they were 156 years old together. Yes, Tenerife rocks. Sort of...

Tenerife - umbrella drink

Yum! A real pina colada.

Tenerife - the service

Isn't this cute?

Tenerife - rockin'

And a different type of entertainment. This band rocked!

Tenerife - the view

Tenerife - afternoon delight

Mango and passion fruit...mmmmmm.

Tenerife - the wide blue yonder

Excellent view when contemplating life.

Tenerife - the beach

Nice temperature but not quite enough for me to dip a toe into the ocean.

Tenerife - back in town

Best breakfast buffet I've come across in my short life. There were tables left, right and center with freshly baked bread, cheese, ham, sausages, fried, boiled and scrambled eggs, omelettes, marmelades, muesli, fresh fruit and juices. You name it, they had it. I tell ya freshly squeezed strawberry juice in the morning is something else.

Not to mention the strawberry daiquiries I enjoyed in the evenings.
