Sox-Season Opened

Or... Watch out!

Just not the Red but the Colored one ;-)
Brrr, it´s cold.
So, on the weekend Ingo opened up the season.

Apologies he took so "boring" ones! Mine are the "real" ones. An hommage to his late Grandma again.
I still picture her... on the floor with all the different small balls of wool, arranging same amounts for a pair - at the age of over 84!
Afte she finally (!) believed me those patchwork-socks are the coolest ever. They were an "arrangement" in the first place. She wanted to "welcome" me to the family, "accept" me with a personal hand-made pair of socks. And.. dang! Not enough wool! So heel and toes got a different one. Her first patchwork-socks she was kinda ashamed of. And I loved them. And she thought I´m just being polite....

She got more and more creative over the years and more and more family-members told her they love them. A new hobby that gave her a new job.

Yeah, socks. You can blog about those!
And her "My children" is back in my ears when we came to visit. Her warm smile. She really loved to have us over. After we had to move out, but that´s another story.

Grandma R... she lives through her socks.

Christmas deco is all over the town. One good thing about the darn cold season. On Wed the Christmas Markets will open.
And my friend P told me it´s not a good idea to take little Niece. All she´ll see is legs, legs and legs. Wait two more years and she´ll have fun.

Funny car we saw in the Christmas-Markets.build-up-chaos:

No idea where that comes from? Ingo still has some Cohibas from... 1985, I guess. Aww. Cuba. A nice place. Miss it.
Happy Monday!

Oh, btw. I bought Season 3 of Eureka to listen to it in the original - the German voices are pretty close.
And a documentary of the Klitschko-brothers - can´t wait for that (haha. I even have a book about em. Ingo is not interested, though). Aren´t they "cute"? It comes in German and Russian. After one of my "East-German" colleagues sang the alphabet in Russian to me (don´t ask, we are cool like that), I can hear "real Russians" as well.

I have winter-tyres on since a week, today I got Ingo´s tyres up as well.
They say it´s the dryest November since ten years. Not good for the environment. But good for drivers.

Addendum: Here is a Trailer. In English. Hm. Guess we´re a wee bit (!) like them, Bro and me, age -gap for sure, the same. We fight (and get angry at each other). But. We´re a team. Not as sexy, though.
Just saw it was released on Friday. No wonder the price is that high. Aw, well. And no. I never saw a "game" but I think it´s cute one of them called his Mum after winning and opened the call with "the other guy is ok" :-) Hehe. Cute, as I said. Ingo´s parents love to watch btw. Maybe I join in now? (nah...)
