Time for coffee and a slice of my favorite cake! Zoe, do me tho honor and bring me a generous slice of that German cheesecake from behind the RC, please! <img src="http://www.lecker.de/assets/styles/590x442/public/lecker/backen_1/kuchen_1/kaesekuchenrezept/hbv_1463/kaesekuchen-rezept.jpg?itok=Ocd1osb1" alt=" " /> I decided to follow the advice a friend from Argentina gave me - not to get too indulged into thoughts about bad health and what might be, but pursue the Doris Day approach of "Que ser, sera!" My son brough me his ex fly swatter, home made static grass applicator which I gave a try this morning. Against all odds, that thing works - much better than the rather expensive contraption I bought before Noch introduced their first version of the grass master. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030637_zpsvi4pvbid.jpg" alt=" " /> When I accidently touched my leg with it, I looked like that little Norwegian troll in the above picture, which is quite an achievement who has little to no hair left north of his thinking department! The fly thingie runs on two AA batteries and that´s certainly not a high voltage, but you should have seen me jump ! After a couple of hours hard work with PVA, a brush, little steel nails and the fly swatter, the green, green grass of Engiadina has been transformed into a the look of parched grass at the end of a hot summer/early fall. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030626_zpsluz7xfql.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030634_zpslic0k1n1.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030628_zpsdjrsblps.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030632_zpsw4ywrrku.jpg" alt=" " /> Dave - the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein became Danish in 1559, when the Danish king Christian IV. tricked the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation into taking the land rights from the Archbishop of Bremen and to grant them to him. His successor, Christian the V. is noted to have had the habit of speaking Danish to the German speaking people, but German to his dogs. Following the Prussian-Danish wars of 1849/50 and 1864, the duchies became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and, subsequently, part of the German Reich in 1871. In the early 1800´s nationality didn´t matter much, but language, culture  and tradition did! Things have changes since... Enjoy your day!
