A Look Back #1

 

We´re both bad in remembering dates, Ingo and I, so, to make it easy we picked pentecost as our date.

Which was 1994, hence 30 whopping years ago we became a couple. Kind of an anniversary.

Wanna join?

And wonder... Australia - "six month ... and your parents allowed that with a dude you are just  shortly with?"

Yupp. Dad knew Ingo for years (I had no idea).

Let´s hop through?

Just quickly...

 

I´d finished studying and off we took again!

I have NOTHING from the year 2000... I was desperately looking for a job...

I got a job, but no pic found of 2001...

Our maid had nothing to do in our room and made puppets! Her name was Midiala.

 

Ingo makes cold weather bearable...

 

 

I had to sneak that in. My Dad was hectic - and a nice man - he took his time with this man, who needed new glasses. He was PATIENT.

Bet he smoked a ciggie afterwards 😉

 

Cologne:

 

The jewelry I wear is made by my Brother, too - he is also a goldsmith.

Dad had lost the fight against cancer, hence is not in the pic....

It was not cold, but I am allergic to the sun. Mean, kinda, huh? This was a longer walk...

 

In Rhüden, still weekend-relationship. We did this for some stupid 13 years....

 

 

 

Red - Braunschweig Lions. Blue - Hamburg Blue Devils.

Both first league in American Football and one of them got the title for a long time only - the fans were partying together - NO MATTER WHAT.

Soccer... hooligans, police needed...

Didn´t matter if you had red or blue on your face - it was FUN!

 

 

Yes, we came here three times!

Fun story: We, in German, were wondering what to do - Varadero is more like a village.

The receptionist, a bulky, huge, very, very dark man interrupted and made a clever suggestion in... Saxon. That is an accent, a very "ugly" one, spoken in East Germany.

When Germany was still divided, Cubans could go there, and he did.

We looked at him as if he was an alien, I felt so sorry and silly afterwards, but that was a "huge" surprise!

We followed his suggestion and it was fun!
 

This is part #1. Let me continue tomorrow, so this isn´t an overload.

Also pentecost is still tomorrow, right.

Pack 30 years in one post, nooo.

 

I spare you the pics from when I studied in Hildesheim, cause Ingo was never in the very few pics - it was film camera back then!  Or... wait...

Certainly we were silly and wanted to be beauuuutiful. 3 women, one man. Go  figure...

More tomorrow, if you like...

 

Off to test the halfbike.

Ingo told me I will fail. 

I am afraid cause with the near-loss of my hearing on the right side my balance is not good anymore...

Also on the walking pad I have to hold on to a chair if I want to watch GRIMM (or such 😉) other I stumble...

Wish me luck (and success, please)...

Addendum: It was not really a success, but no failure, either!!!!

I managed to do 5 slopes/revolutions in one piece before jumping off in fear.

I´m at it! Neighbour C sat in the car, waved happily at me and looked astonished at me being so exhausted and at the "thing" I have with me 🤣

"Easy on a Sunday morning" is different!

I think I need a shower. EVERY muscle is involved!
