yes! (ja!) let´s start Tuesday and join Elizabeth´s T!
The journal:
Monday: I am sorry I have to start with this, but it is to share...
Since 2022 he should´ve been gone. 2022!
She was on training for dental technician, spoke German, was integrated... #shortage of skilled workers - such a young life, gone for nothing.. .
TV-News: an Iraqi pushed a 16-year-old Ukrainian girl (a refugee for real) in front of a train. She died.
We should all give a thank you to ex-chancellor Angela Merkel...
The man was actually "long" to leave Germany, but, hey, "all refugees welcome" and do what you like.
GOOD NEWS: I have the bogie!!!!
They asked if I know what this is.
In a sec: "Laufdrehgestell"! (and I speak fast)
Test me...
I am back at ALSTOM!!!!
Them: "We come from BOMBARDIER, if you know..."
Me: "My Hubby presented me with a mini as ASLTOM didn´t have any..." I sent following pic.
I think (with Ingo and fK) I won BIG!!!
Met so many colleagues at ESE, it was like "coming home".
And yes. At age 53 I am a trainee...
Tuesday: ALSTOM-teams-meeting was good, but you need patience. Austrians speak so slow! And that accent... Mediocre, as they know I am German but still. As fK says "easy, anybody can do..."
fK sent me a wonderful link, a docu/interviews with/about one of my fav actors, Dieter Hallervorden.
Another I admire is Udo Jürgens. He sang about how life really begins at age 66:
One day I´d like to go as he did: Wiki: "On 21 December 2014, Udo Jürgens collapsed unconscious during a walk.."
Dieter...."at age 99"...(he turned 90 last Friday).
That man is unbelievable and tonight I´ll watch his movies Back on Track (2013) and Head Full of Honey (2014).
Just have a look how he dances! He performed that song for the first time just recently, in this video had to check the text. Wow. And now my brain sings... "mit 99 Jahren..."... "Survival of the fittest", it´s a great song!
Yah, wonderful.
The instruction from ESE for Outlook was "old" - now my admin has my private number as I needed his help. What a start...
Wednesday: Nothing special. A bit learning, grocery shopping and making pizza sauce with Adriano Celentano on the BOSE. Well, and Pan-Pizza.
Thursday: Back for real at ESE-laptop. My, difficult to work with but one monitor and then such a small one, too!
Friday: 05:36 a.m. - such heavy rain - no TV!!!! Oh, I LOVE such rain ...
Later Maggi-Fest, more tomorrow...
Weekend: Saturday: A day to better forget.
When my Brother was on the way my maternal Grandmother moved in with us to help taking care, parents working full time. My paternal one left us when I was 6 months old.
I never had a Granddad. Paternal passed when Dad was only 14, maternal made it out of Russian captivity and passed soon after.
The first he met was my then 4-year old Mom.
He called her by her name, my Grandma told me.
She ran away, screaming in fear.
He had grown a long read beard, was very skinny and she did not recognize him.
Quite a welcome...
In kindy I made a friend and when visiting met her Grandpa. I did not know men can grow old, too and was afraid...
My Grandmother, when we were old enough moved back to Pinneberg, near Hamburg.
She had 14 Grandchildren, most living in the area.
The only ones visiting: Bro and I from far away, 250 km.
When she passed I had to forbid Bro to attend the funeral.
He said, "anyone crying and I..." - I knew he would! He was into martial arts back then.
So I can only say: GRANDMA´S DAY.
I have no idea who took this pic, Dad, likely... Bro and I were dressed like twins.
Ingo´s parents named their first boxer (as in dog) after her, that was confusing (they did not know my Grandma)!
Fairy tale: Von dem Fischer und syner Fru - beautiful lesson!
"Das wollen wir uns bedenken"...

I love ❤️ your drawings dear friend Iris. Henry is very happy 😊 today.
Thank you, dear friend Linda, yes, Henry LOVES warm weather!!! 🧡🧡
Fabulous drawings! We've had a lot of downpours (rain) of late too. Roar to the two Henrys 😊. Wishing you a very happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
Thank you, to rain and a happy double-roar, happy T-Day and hugs 🦁🦁
I'm glad you are a trainee again. We are all always trainees aren't we? Since life always throws new things at us. And send some rain to us, well not until I get home from our trip, but we are in a drought and we need rain. (And we had so much rain early in the summer.) There was a Ukrainian girl stabbed on a commuter rail somewhere in the US in the last few days too. It's sad. The guy who did it here (an American) had other arrests for violence. Have a super T day. hugs-Erika
Glad you got a new job and thanks for sgaring memories of grandmother. Good drink today.
Lovely sketches and flower boy Henry!
...everyone need a loving Omi!
Yes, oh and this ALSTOM system is as complicated at least as was Frankfurt´s.... I hope you have a great holiday and then the rain comes!
Yes, the knife-attack is in the news here, too. So sad. I wouldn´t have expected that in your country such a guy may roam free... Here it would be no surprise. What is with some people. Anyway, have a great T-Day, hugs
It´s just a training, no real job...
Thank you, from both of us :-)
Yes, she was wonderful.... My Nieces have to grow up without. No Grandparents at all.
So many good things here, Iris, but the best is that you are back at Alstrom and so very happy!
OMG, that first one is horrible. However, you made up for it by your journal and the good news you are back a Alstrom. Many years ago my kids worked for Bomardier here in the US. Wonder if it is the same company. Have a great day today.
Yes, and both men a re nice, too!
Yes, just read in your country the same happened to a Ukrainian girl...
ALSTOM bought Bombardier´s railway. To great day, fun your kids worked for them!
Super, dass du einen Praktikantenplatz bei Alstom bekommen hast, das muss sich wirklich gut anfühlen.
Ja, solche Angriffe gibt es in diesem Land auch, allerdings meistens auf Immigranten und durchgeführt von Amerikanern. Also völlig anders als das, was du schilderst. Das Attentat mit dem jungen Mädchen ist einfach furchtbar und das Verbleiben des Irakers in Deutschland unverständlich, aber ich frage mich, ob du das gepostet hättest, wenn ein Deutscher das gemacht hätte?
So happy that you are back at Alstrom. What a journey that was.
I'm thrilled you are once again among the ranks of the employed. Great news.
It's been raining and lightening here so I had to shut the computer down. I'm so tired of rain and hail.
So sad about the girl. Same here in the states. Ukraine is getting it from all sides.
Love your calendar and your pizza cooking. Love Henry with his wreath of flowers.
Thanks, also for sharing your latte with u for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Good luck with your changing job!
Loved the sound of rain. I went over and subscribed to your YouTube channel. Happy T day
Congrats on the job! 🍻Prost!
Das hätte ich definitiv auch gepostet wäre es ein Deutscher gewesen. Was für eine "Verschwendung" von Leben. Aber Fakt ist auch, dass die meisten Angriffe von sogenannten Flüchtlingen ausgehen, auch ich wurde schon angegriffen, mehrfach verbal und ein Mal "nur hart geschubst"... Ich gehe keine Nebenstraßen mehr...
Yes, I hope I manage that job!
No, I am just a trainee, Elizabeth! Not safe at all....
Yes, better shut everything down in such weather.
I read about the attack in your country, too. I wonder, though... was it random? Thank you, dear Elizabeth for hosting!
Thank you, huhhh it is a tough one...
LOL, Sharon, I publish maybe once all three months ;-) But thank you.
It´s but a trainee-place so far, but Prost is coming today! 🍻
I laughed along with Dieter and when I am 99 I want to still be laughing and dancing a bit as I sing along (badly) with the radio or TV.
I never knew my grandparents and now they are long gone, parents gone too, my sister is the oldest living and I hope she stays for a long time yet. She is 76.
How horrible about the Ukranian girl!
Hurray for being back at Alstrom! Even if it is as a trainee. Well done.
I wish it would rain here. It has rained yesterday. It lasted about 30 seconds and the raindrops were heavy with Sahara sand, so my car looks filthy and I had to wipe down all my patio furniture.
I loved seeing your Omi. I am Omi to my grandchildren in UK. I don't like to be called 'grandma' or 'gran', or even 'nan'. My grandmother (back in the day) was Omi, so now I am old, I am also Omi to my grandchildren.
Good old Dieter. He does well for 99! His laugh is infective. And I remember Udo Jürgens very well.
I love Henry in flower power.
A belated happy T-Day,
Lisca
