Exactly one year ago today, at just about this time, Swiss Mister and Miss touched down in Zurich, ready to begin their Switzerlives. It's been a whirlwind ride, but we're still standing ("yeah, yeah, yeah...") 365 days later! This calls for a celebration!!!
We're having a party tonight, complete with real live Swiss friends who are bringing real live Swiss cake. Talk about cultural integration. Our favourite Cold War couple Max and Alesha have seen us through thick and thin, and we'll be raising a special glass to them at dinner. As well, it's Aoife's 35th birthday, and she is trekking all the way from Morges to give our party that certain Irish something.
And you, Bloggership, you should be celebrating, too: this is the 200th Swiss (Mister and) Miss blog! To thank you for sticking with us all this time, we are offering one of our much-coveted SMandM Prize Packs (TM) to the lucky winner of this contest:

I'm too lazy for this game . Especially since I know Swiss Miss for almost 3 decades and I feel I would have an unfair advantage. . However if the grand prize involves a visit to Spain where I could resume my bullfighting lessons , I could be persuaded.
ReplyDeleteHappy Swissiverary!
ReplyDeleteAs for the contest, I agree with Ray. I too have known at least one of the subjects far too long to qualify for this competition.
May the best blog-follower win.
Sounds like quitter-talk to me. Clearly you two should be pressing your advantage!
ReplyDeletePerhaps we do need to sweeten the SMandM Prize Pack...
