Let It Shine

 
 
Look with what Ingo presented me! And the ole tissue-holder I kept saying "LOVE".
An original from former GDR, the lamp - and a memory of our travels throughout Australia!
We sure had a real one from "Germany" back then, it was smelly and sooting, this one is LED.
 

By chance - it really was a coincidence as I was looking up a recipe from Gennaro Contaldo´s book Limoni -  it became a wonderful scene, don´t you think?
Ingo didn´t like the mini lemon-plates, so they live here now - quite an ensemble, huh?
And yes, it has a usb-hub, too, the lamp! 
 
Ingo got a hook so I can hang it on the very, super-uncomphy what do you call those seat-thingies that he put on the wall:
 

 But from up there it´s blinding me.
 
Here you can see the size of the plate, Ingo got meat-salad and a fresh breadroll to share:
 
 
 
Haven´t had this in ages.
 
 
Early evening I took the lamp outside... it was summerly warm!! 27C/80F till into the night, sooooo wonderful!
 

GauรŸberg is say 7 minutes on foot from here.
 

 It was wonderful, likely it was the last day of summer 2025, sad Ingo didn´t want to join me. At least...
 
 
That´s life. Anyways...

Happy Sunday!
