Signs....

 
So....


Taken at Maggi-Fest. Yes, we love this stuff so much, we have a whole weekend each first-of-September-week to celebrate!

That is what my SIL thought! She looked at me as if I was crazy... I later presented her with a mini-bottle - she was not amused.

Of course it is the Magnifest that takes place in quarter Magni.
 

As the music is always superloud we went early for burger and beer only, though.

We went to...

Founded 1883 they were a huge brewery, closed 1977 and re-opened 2017 as craft beer brewery, you can read more here (German).
We had CRABS (CRAft beer BraunSchweig), though and nice chats with the young people (OMG did I write this, "young people"?!).
One of the girls turned 30 that Sunday and told us about her time in Sydney.

This is for Tom´s Signs2. And here is a real bummer for you:

The internet series:

"Germany to scare: 30 ruins of days long gone

 


Hi#ler's Olympic Village, Berlin

When the first televised Summer Olympics took place in Berlin in 1936, the whole world watched. The sporting event became a Na#i propaganda tool, with Jewish and Black athletes actively discouraged from participating. The purpose-built Olympic complex was ironically nicknamed the "Village of Peace" by Hi#ler and was taken over by his army after the Games.

After World War II, the site was used by the Soviet Army until 1994, when it was abandoned. There are currently plans for partial development of the disused site."

Dear friend Iris, the squirrel made me 😂 laugh. Henry at the end is wearing a beautiful Hawaiian shirt sipping a beer. I often think of Hitler's abandoned bunker in Berlin but I realize it is not the same place you are speaking of.
I have seen a few videos of Hitler's old bunker...pretty creepy.
Thank you so much for this post dear friend.
Sending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love.

Dear friend Linda, glad I made you laugh 😘. As German you still get confronted with that darn Austrian man all the time. And now we have a Russian copy, kinda. Let´s hope for the best and have a happy day! Hugs to you!

Bertiebo said...

To summer! And I love that squirrel!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to both!

Granny Sue said...

Henry's looking good! I am glad you had a bit of summer fun, anyway---sounds like a great festival.
Yes, you can freeze pizza sauce! I often freeze leftover spaghetti sauce and it's fine.

...Iris, never never give up, her we get "Indian summer!" I love Henry's shades.

Summer feels like it's over at my house. It got cold pretty early this year. Hope that's not true for you. And I love relaxing Henry today.

Iris Flavia said...

Henry says thank you :-)
Sadly this times we found but food and drink-stands. Or, luckily, other I might´ve bought something! Good next time I freeze!

Iris Flavia said...

I hope for such a summer, too, Tom. Yes, I even have the t-shirt with that Henry.

Iris Flavia said...

It can get cold end of January when we go to Perth ;-) Henry says thank you and cheers!

Mae Travels said...

The memory of the Nazi Olympics is really chilling.

Iris Flavia said...

A looong tradition, cheers and big hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Yes... and guess why he could do all that. Some dumb guy in my city gave him German citizenship.

Cloudia said...

Cheers, Iris! I think it's wonderful that your father was an optometrist and named you beautifully after a part of the eye. I think of you more as a flower. Aloha

Bill said...

Henry kicking back and having a brewski, love it!

Iris Flavia said...

Cheers Cloudia, my Mom did like you, there were some "fights" about my name, LOL. Aloha!

Iris Flavia said...

Enjoy the last warm days, right!

DVArtist said...

I do like that squirrel meme. Interesting that hitler named it the Village of Peace. It just bothers me. Ohh let's have tacos any time.

CJ Kennedy said...

Yes, still 11 days of Summer left

Jeanie said...

There may be summer left, but it's sure feeling like fall here!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Love the squirrel and Henry.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, to tacos! Next time I´m in the city :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Buhuuuuu.... at least it starts for me again end of January when we go to Perth!

Iris Flavia said...

So sad...

Iris Flavia said...

Both say thank you!

River said...

Henry is a Cool Cat.

Maybe it's just me but I dont understand the whole popularity around tacos. They look yummy but they break so easily
