Liechtenstein, a tough nut to crack
After much internal debate, I got out of bed, showered, and got dressed. Look at me, all adulty and everything.
Poked around my finances instead of taking to the street and fomenting revolution.
Make an appointment to have my ears looked at.
When shopping at the supermarket. I was planning to make a two course meal.
I decided instead to invade Leichtenstein. It did not got well.
Me: Yo ho, I’m invading your country. I’m going to rule your country.
Border Guard: No you’re not. I’ll stop you.
Me: You and what army?
Border Guard blows whistle. Three burly sorts run up to me.
Border Guard: Me and the Leichtensteinan army.
Me: Aw, man.
Border Guard: Shoo. Shoo.
So, I went home, dejected and tired. I jettisoned plans to make Cilbir (Turkish eggs with yogurt.) and made Powegian Pastrami Pepperoni wraps instead.
I’ve had a couple glasses of chocolate glasses since then and am feeling more upbeat.
I hope you behaved yourselves while I was careening around Europe.
