Event
of the Day:
5th
June 1876
Bananas
were imported and shown for the first time at the Philadelphia Centennial
Exposition. They were wrapped in tin foil and sold for a dim 10 cents apiece.
The Americans were so amazed by the fruit, that they flocked to view them,
there were more spectators to see the bananas than to see Alexander Graham Bell’s
new invention the telephone.

Meal of the Day:
Yesterday
evening we, the colleagues from the office where I work in Flensburg, were
invited by Henning, also a colleague, for a meal to celebrate his up-coming retirement.

It was in the Landgasthaus Neukrug, Maasbüll, about fifteen kilometres
south-east from Flensburg, that’s about sixty from Niebüll.
I took the
day off work to save myself travelling back and forth twice. I have to be
careful not to drive too many private kilometres with my car,. It has to do with
the German tax laws, my car is registered as a company car and they allow me
ten percent private use.
In the afternoon I drove to Flensburg and four of us went
in Petra’s car to the restaurant.

It was an
old Gasthaus from 1752 very nice and a good menu, they even had a whole side of
vegetarian meals. I don’t find that everywhere and because of this it is very
seldom, that I go out for a meal.
Like usual
I put my foot in, I ordered an alcoholic free beer and after a couple of swigs
my head was spinning. There is still up to two percent alcohol in alcohol free
beer, I thought I could handle it but it’s been so long since I last drank
anything it went straight to my head. Thank heavens I’m not an alcoholic, I
didn’t finish the beer I gave it back and ordered fizzy water.
Otherwise
it was a very harmonic gathering. Very unusual for a workmate gathering, we didn’t
mention or miss the work once.
Thanks
Henning, I had a great evening, I was very tired when I arrived home, but it
was worth it.
