WHAT?

Poppy, so love these flowers (just a shot outta the driving car)! Was a hot and sunny day, just beautiful.
So, I finally managed to "visit my Dad".

Nice to see there were fresh flowers. Managed only minutes there, it still hurts. No idea, why. I mean... his body is long gone, right? It´s just a dumb stone.

Right behind I found this view:

From 1 - 3 we had lunch at El Solin, outside in the shade.
We all ordered Tarte flambée - what a waste! Mum and me managed only half of it - it was huge!

Weird was... despite the warnings about the EHEC-virus - esp in Northern Germany (hello! That´s us) - people ordered salad, ate tomatoes and all. Wonder... don´t they watch/read the news? We´re explicitly advised to not eat salad and tomatoes.

Gosh. And then my Mum asked, do you know that woman sitting over there? But don´t stare! (haha, how can one do that, huh?!)
No. A woman, maybe in her mid/end forties, I thought!
We went to school together the first four years, even were something like friends! Gosh! She looked old! Bro and Mum reassured I look heaps younger, whew.
Really, I was kinda shocked! And she for sure lives healthy. Nature can be mean.

The way back was horrible. 20 steps - pause. Mum having a hard time breathing, legs hurting. Took like forever. Well. She´s merely bones covered in skin. Wonder how she could eat as much as me?!
I said, ok, see you again next Monday to Wednesday and we start packing, right?
She didn´t look happy about that.
Seesh I just don´t know anymore what she actually wants?!
She´s bought an apartment 3 years ago in a place where the air is better.
We don´t force her to live there, she´ll simply has two places then, can always come back, so... what´s the problem?!

Oh, the title? Woke up half deaf this morning. Left ear. I have very small/narrow ear canals and I have to sleep with ear protection due to very light sleep. Bad combination. Bought meds and gave up after 4th try.
Great. Cannot concentrate, driving is horror, plus I have the meeting with the Boss tomorrow. Great timing, really.
I just hope I manage to get the ear free tomorrow. It´s always the same at the doc. They don´t believe me, take normal instruments first, and that hurts!
Ok, "always" is maybe wrong, twice it was. That I had to see a doc due to this.

Oh. And Aunt Annemarie has passed away yesterday.
She had just given up. Was tired of a lonely life. Was in a retirement home after suffering from a stroke. She was the one who cleaned my feet from dog-poo. Mum - it was her eldest Sister - took it well, though.
Must be hard when your sibling dies of age.
Means... well. Scary, to all of us.
