Your Place?

 

This was on the news before Easter.

I can´t dance, so I do not care much, but, hey, those who have some days off and LOVE to dance are not allowed to in public places due to religious issues? 

 

Same in your place?

 

Another sign 💙💛:

 

 

 

It came in an envelope. Which I cannot find anymore! 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

Home was a dangerous place

Asbestos was a commonly used material for home insulation. It was not uncommon for people to come into regular contact with this dangerous substance. This photo shows a production worker handling a piece of asbestos material."

Ingo is so old 😉 he got headaches at school. Asbestos!!!! It was removed and also I went to another school. It even was another school-system! That does not exist anymore. I am old!

Henry 🦁´s cousin:

 

Look at those mighty, huge paws!!! I´d skip!!!

T STands For "Holiday"

 

 

With this "Seasonal Edition" I join Elizabeth´s T. Winter is over, but 4C / 39F in the morning is not nice... It warms up over the day.

 

The journal:

 

 

Monday: Silent.

 

 

Tuesday: Uneventful (holiday, no sport allowed, weather shitty).

 

 

Wednesday: Nice!!! 

a) No shower needed, there was rain! I had no brolly, and I LOVE rain.

b) cash-out guy SUPER-NICE to everybody. Those who know me in person: I say so. 

Him, grinning still: "so many unhappy people pass by my cash-out, I do not know who pieselt in their coffee!" Pieseln  is the Northern word for doing pee. That after fK from East-Germany said, "Denn man tau!" on me telling her I go shopping. That is Northern language as well. As for "have fun".

c) an elderly man out of no-where started talking to me.  We had a nice walk over two BIG crossings.

Nice!

 

 

Thursday: Another spontaneous "I drive my daughter to school ... tea?" - day.

Another reason I want to get back to ESE - WE decide when we want to work!

And, OMG, fK told me mF does not have "the certificate", so they wait for me. PRESSURE.   

She took the electronics to recycle for me.

 

Friday: Knalltüte! Neighbors, the arrogant ones, go on holiday and order stuff online and the mail-men (plural) ring our bell! Am I a second post-office??? Pop it in front of their door, our condo is small, I do not take it (for arrogant people - the woman does not even greet me).

There are options, online! I am none. Once we had three huge parcels for felt... a long time. No!

Went to see the dinos and it was a great adventure, people-wise, see here if you like!

 

 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Ingo went grocery-shopping and came home mad. But got me "real" liverwurst. Mimimi... tastes like... liver.

Friends via "bad FB". It´s a great tool if used well! Especially in different time-zones.

Then The Simpsons: Freddie Mercury!!! 

Or rather this (for Ingo 🥰):

 

Sunday: DANCING at Löwenzahn! We cannot dance. But music makes everything better!!!

Die Maus was about railway AND electronics... and... a mouse!

 

 

Fairy tale: Rumpelstielchen. Went to the "Spring-Festival" - glad Ingo  stayed home, it was boring.

Munchy:

Too liver-y... But then I don´t wanna know what you get otherwise?

Funny enough fK told me of one that is "vegan", maybe I try that. After all Ingo likes vegan Schnitzel.

Bicycle safety

People participated in cycling events and recreational activities without wearing helmets."

 

Do you wear a helmet? I have a Braunschweig-one.

Neustädter Mühle #III

 

Again the "mural" was new!!!

 

 Students finding their way with their hands?

 

Here it is:

 

 This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

The dangers of sun exposure were unknown

Sunscreen was generally not used because people were unaware of the risks of prolonged UV exposure to their skin."

50+, always.

You Always...

 

Crazy one:

My former teamlead fC said I stumble "all the time" into the funniest things.

I asked Ingo to help me carry the bathroom door into the cellar in 2011. Just took up space and we do not take showers when we have visitors, loo is extra.

Yesterday I was done with the shower and´d cleaned up, glass crystal clear, I´m still in there, door bell goes off.

Main-door is right opposite. 

No?

Bell again. No? I´m in there, naked! No door.

Police. 

 

Ingo is a former firefighter and quick, went outside.

His car got bumped into, nothing serious and some nice person informed the police.

10 minutes earlier or later and I´d had no story.

Henry 🦁 

ROARRRRR

I braved up big yesterday. I did go in!

After I finally got there!!!

 

See, Ingo didn´t want to come along and fK was too afraid, also.

So, as I am still not allowed sporting about I slowly went to the city and got myself ...

 

 ...ort, public transport, we still have paper-tickets.

 

Others are more modern:

 

 We have these for public transport in Perth since... 2013? You put money on and if you come back but 2 years later or 5, all good!

In Braunschweig you can only purchase yearly tickets like that and when you do not use them... money gone!

 

So. I looked up how to get to "Messegelände", 413, I asked the ticket-seller to confirm this and asked where this is, he sent me to the left.

Nada. I really looked hard, nothing, went into a shop: A Turkish guy really tried hard to help me, asked a customer, no one had an idea. I was sent to the "immigration authority" two doors to the left. It was the "Citizen service" and... closed.

I asked two teenagers, also Turkish, but that was better than the half drunken dude or the dumb-looking lady.

Really, I´d looked up every tram-station!

One of the boys... thinking.... looking at his pal.... "413 is a BUS, no?" - "Yes, let us help her finding it!"

 

Who would have thought that?!!! I missed the bus but now knew what to wait for. 

Hopped on and thought, naaaaah, where are we going???

 

Asked the guy next to me, an Arabian dude? Him: "Sorry, this is the wrong direction!" - the woman in front  (Greek?) explained to me where to hop off and on  again. None looked "German", it was hilarious, all spoke German, all were nice!!!

Asked the bus driver - female - if this is correct  and off I went. 

I hear only on my left ear, was difficult to understand what the next stop will be as an African woman with yelling baby´d hopped on, but suddenly a boy jumped up in excitement and ran to the door!

 

And, YES!

 

 After I went through the huge mouth (first pic)...

 

 

This is for...

 

Eileen.

More to come!!!

And! If Ingo´d come along... I would´ve come along, simply following him.

But on my own I had contact to so many nice people! Critters, right, living, great beings!

And Ingo was not even mad at me.

Again, Braunschweig is a great city.

FFO And Smiles

 

Yah, sorry bunny-dude.... let us simply stop being angry and join Nicole´s FFO!

Something to smile about for Annie´s:

And here is more!!

Some funnies now?

The series: 

 

"Typical habits of the 60s that would be unimaginable today

 

 Unsupervised children

 

When women began working instead of staying home, children were often left to fend for themselves, as both parents were busy with their work throughout the day."

 

My parents had their own shop, I was partially "shop-kid" and the rest... nobody knew where I was and nobody cared and sometimes I had my little Brother with me.

These days...

I don´t know what is better? You?

Plan today anyways: Go see the dinos! Or... take the tram? At least not many people there, likely. Hey, Spring, where are you?
