Usually it's called badminton. Though that is more of a competitive sport like tennis etc. I don't know if english native speakers would use that word for such casual fun with your granddaughter. I just saw this and had to answer as I just recently made a joke over at the d2f forum about you coming with a bunch of granddaughters for testing the final version/finding all the bugs. Just extrapolating from all the stuff you posted about your daughters doing this or that. Never knowing you actually had a granddaughter already
Gute Besserung!Yes, same here. Badminton is the name for the competive sport. Federball is more you play the ball in a way the other can return it. Since it is in the open wind is always a factor.
Oldest grandchild will be aged 5 August the 15th, The mixed grandchild twins are two years younger.

gold coins -> calcaneal spur
At war time with very few docs around people used to cure calcaneal spur by using a hammer and a silver coin. With the last silver coins vanishing 1975 in germany the disease was not curable any longer: pressure waves, ultra sonic, ... all were less effective. But I kept three of the coins, just in case

Rehab is more painfully than being tortured by the spanish inquisition. And now they found something new. The real good cook is ill and they found no quick other. The potatoes are too soft because boiled too long, the peas and carrots seem not to be boiled at all....
If I had knewn this I would have asked my people to bring my field kitchen to the place...

boat -> Hochwasserboot
Our house is in no risc of flooding. But the ones in valleys are. I store a special boat at my barn in case the streets in villages below are flooded. It is moved either by poles or walking behind it between the two grips and pushing. Metal because there are often trunks in such in muddy water.

Had one as my first real no toy music instrument. Still play it today - wandering uphill to a campfire place in nature is not a thing I want to do with a tuba

Apprentics are deadly. He opened a transport savety without looking for other people. Steel band hit me...
11 stitches and sadly I am left handed and a bandage at30C is not nice
Wasn't a plastic band as on photo, but a 19mm steel one for heavy metal pieces. But I think you know how it happened. I was near 3 metres away but there was no weight on the lower partyso it wa swinging when cut,

friends -> clique
When I was young our clique did no lan parties, but swimming at ponds, had our own self build hut for campfires, ,,, Close(d) group of friends all from nearby countryside villages. The town kids had 3 hours a day more to spend because of way closer to school and no bus or train traffic. They lived close to cinemas, discotheques, ice halls, ... and internet access... They formed more loose groups.
At our place we had to coordinate our spare time activities. The clique broke up when we went to different places after highschool.

spicy -> Sauerbraten
Instead drafted into army a classmate was 4 years in the merchant navy as a ship's cook, most on an antartic research vessel. He said if you use normal spicing with herbs there is always one saying it isn't his taste. Doing very spicy food noone will say that it is too hot because of them thinking as machos.
Now he runs a restaurant and cooks mainly with herbs and not chilli, wasabi or similiar, Most come for his version of horsemeat Sauerbraten. Horsemeat of old working horses is very tough so everyone has a way of marinating it for nearly a week to make it soft.

Wine -> Schorle
Selters is a small village with lot of mineral water wells only 25 kilometres away. Selters, selterz water, ... all names are connected to the original selters. So I grew up drinking Schorle at hot summer days. A Schorle is a mix of half sparkling mineral water and half wine, fruit wine or fruit juice.
cassis juice and mineral water

Sorry to hear this. If the eye check is physical okay, no glasses needed, then it may be the eye nerves and it gets complicated. Most probably an infection. A person in my village had lyme disease. Some bacteria were already encapsulated when antibiotica were given. They stayed inactive for some time and then the lyme disease came back. It can affect nerves like muscles and eyes. The tricky thing was that at hospital test there were antibodies in the blood but no active bacteria and thought of them as leftovers from the antibiotica time. They found bacteria in a later test in the spine liquid.
And lyme is just one of all the possible infections.

Flix -> Verflixt und zugenäht!
A student saw a beautiful girl. 9 month later there was a result. He cursed the flyer of his trousers and closed it with sewing so it wouldn't happen again.
The saying is used in a meaning of Damn it

At my moms birthday:

add friends and other relatives, we normally meet at the firefighters hall
The family of my wife is as big
In summer breaks we often do tents for the kids of both sides. We do holiday only every 3rd or 4th year. Hard to get replacement as a countryside doc as my wife is.
