hello mum,
it is high time to tell you about my adventures at christmas and new year.
but first of all i wish you the very best for 2014 
on christmas day i could help to decorate the christmas tree
see mum my fine red christmas cap 
put the lights on
also on the lantern
unpacking the gifts
and then – surprise, surprise - my colleague in travelling, little patka came home from her latest trip to germany and brought some sweets for us
it was so fine to talk with her about our adventures.
i guess we became good friends
on the last day of the year my hostmums organized a fine new years eve party with fondue eating. i could help in making the mayonnaise dip.
here the most important ingredient for this dip: eggs
we had to separate the egg white from yolk
look mum, here you can see me with yellow, the little rubber bathing duck.
put the yolk in a bowl
mix it carefully with adding on some oil
then we added salt, lemon juice, mustard and a pinch of pepper. finished and ready to fill the dip in a small pan:
we prepared also other dips and side dishes, see how pretty the dining table was looking:
and then - at long last - we started fundue eating:
tasted so fine
in the first hour of the very new year we made lead-pouring.
it is a new years eve custom of telling fortunes by the shapes made by molten lead dropped into cold water
this is the piece i have created, what does this mean to my future? that i will be travelling out in the world for some more adventures? goodness knows …
this are the latest news from austria, mum.
will get in touch with you soon again.
in the meanwhile many greetings and kisses
yours
ducky
