With these craft-beers I join Elizabeth´s T.
Yes. The brewery is in a garage. Since 10 years. It´s tradition by now - they have a small seating area inside, too.
The journal:
Then sun > applied sunscreen > heavy rain.... WIND! It´s a 40-minutes-walk to ESE. Jacket and then SUN!!!!!!
The new boss was introduced, most joined via teams, fK´d said, better be here, show your face.
And guess what. I joined the pity-Christmas-party last year ("our" company went down, many, me included, had to leave) and the then top-consulter remembered me! mM was happy to see me back, mE, too, mV gave me new headphones. It was a WIN-day.
Super-windy in warm sun back home. Bliss.
It is Autumn.
Tuesday: mD1 did invite me to a teams meeting. On my ESE-PC. He cracks me up! At least he can laugh about himself... (I certainly didn´t see that invation as I had the ESE-laptop not on).
ALSTOM Salzgitter spams me. I.am.VIENNA!!
Real work to do and .. kabooom: Hungry! The last 2 weeks was training period and I could hardly eat, felt so useless...
Doorbell, "our" postie: "hi (hands parcel over) ... first name again, please! Bye!" ??? Times are a changing... Usually you give your surname, unless you are friends...
Checked off 5 nasty tasks. Started training, slowly.
The Padre suggested to bring a Henry to my workplace and zzzt, I got up and brought Limpy over (Limpy´s story is over here)!
Wednesday: Work and checking if this job is fitting to the coursework I have to deliver... With real work I was able to get back to real life and started walking again whilst watching DVDs, ohhh, BOSE, sooo good, as if I have no problems with my right ear, bliss!
Ingo presented me with this:
Made in former GDR. We used similar throughout our travels in Australia, see here...
Thursday: Customer only tells me half and as newbie I realize too late.
And that Austrian accent causes confusion!
"Take the Sieb" > sieve. Huh? ... long story short he meant a .zip-file. At least we can laugh. Reckon he´s in his mid-30s.
Training, back on track?
Friday: Another chaos-day at work, managed walking-pad for an entire episode of Bull.
Ingo cut my hair, it feels and looks good!!
Then we went to Jürgens Brewery, craft beer.
They had "Sommergewitter" The name alone... oh! "Summer thunderstorm" with coriander, orange and lemon-zest, it smelled like a freshly mowed summer meadow!
It was T-Shirt-weather!!!
Weekend: Saturday: A man seeing me SMILED BIG and I smiled back.. moment of happiness. A woman was admiring an Ente-Mural around the corner. I stepped up and we chatted. Me - I stepped up! Haha, the introvert is gone!!!
My smartphone is stuck, went to EDEKA for a clock, nothing, ALDI, nothing (luckily I still have my tablet), but!!!
In Germany stores are closed on Sundays - I got two bouquets of flowers for €1 each!!!
First time in my life I presented myself with flowers.
Is it weird to buy yourself flowers? Ingo does not care for such, I am sure.... And they needed a home!
A truly wonderful evening on the balcony, see here!
Sunday: Rain. Dark, so glad I enjoyed the Sun yesterday!
Löwenzahn was about how math can be fun - brilliant!
Munchy:
Henry 🦁
Aw, well, Henry... Soon... Perth...
Have a happy T-Day, y´all!

It must feel good to get back on the walking pad. Loved the drawing of you on it. I had to laugh at Summer Thunderstorm when you shared it was your drink. And nice it was warm for you that day, too. I have never bought flowers for myself, but the ones I see cost a LOT MORE than what you paid for two bunches. Thanks for sharing your beer and food with us for T this Tuesday, Iris. Loved seeing Limpy, too. Still love your Tea Rex mug.
If I had space I might consider a walking pad. NOT weird to buy flowers for yourself, if you like them, buy them. I laughed at your drawing of holding onto a tree so you don't get blown away.
Oh, yes, it feels good to get back to life! Indeed I do have some 70´s trousers! We might go for that beer again - if they still have it is another question, though. Rexi is in use right now, with lavender tea. Limpy says hi!
You can flip the walking pad so it is only half the size and put it against the wall when not in use (I am too lazy for that, usually). Well, it wasn´t really THAT windy, but it kinda felt like it ;-)
Gigi Hawaii. I am glad you are doing so well at work and at home. Cheers!
Perfectly fine to buy yourself flowers and those were a deal to enjoy! I think I will have eggs on cheese toast for breakfast you inspired me. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I buy flowers for myself all the time. Why not! So happy work is going well. It must feel really good.
...Iris, out rocks in your pockets so you don't blow away!
Thank you :-)
Yes, I couldn´t resist! And... to yum!
Thank you, I feel less selfish now. Yes, if only I hadn´t the presentation...
Good idea, Tom!
That sounds like it was an upbeat week, Iris.
Yes, it was mostly, Redpat.
I'm so glad summer is officially over! And it feels and looks autumnal here.
I am sad summer is over...
Ich kaufe oft Blumen nur für mich - warum nicht? Blumen nicht nicht dafür da, nur für andere gekauft zu werden, sondern Freude zu bereiten, egal wem. Und du bist doch richtig happy darüber.
Ich freue mich sehr für dich, dass es jobmäßig jetzt so sehr viel besser aussieht! Ich hoffe, deine gute Stimmung hält an und du fühlst dich wohl.
It was a road challenged and you made it back, now get to work. :)
Ich bin wohl zu altmodisch was Blumen angeht....
Ich muss jetzt "nur noch" die Zertifikate erlangen, dann, erst dann bin ich sicher. Immenser Druck.
Well, the HUGE certificates are waiting. If I fail... I must manage!
Love Everything About That First Photo
Way Cool ,
Cheers
We have a full tread mill in the back room. Hardly ever use it any more. My SIL has a the walking pad in her living room and is on it all the time. Your food looks so good. What are the spices on top?
You outdid yourself in your journal this past week Iris. I enjoyed seeing all of them. And a beer called Crabs? That's an interesting name. Does it mean something other than the shellfish in German? That's a great Henry view this week too. I hope it was a super T day. hugs-Erika
Perfectly okay to buy yourself flowers, and they look lovely.
All the best Jan
I hope to follow your Sister´s example! Oh, it´s just pepper, dried oregano and basil on the egg.
Thank you, we sure had yummy fun! Cheers!
Thank you, Erika. Crabbs stands for CRAft Beer BraunSchweig. We are far away from the ocean, sadly... Thank you, it was a good day indeed, hope yours as well, hugs
Thank you, I felt a tad selfish...
Dear friend Iris, the fried egg on cheese toast....yummy! I absolutely love all your sketches!!!! The flowers and the yellow lantern are beautiful! Warm hugs and much love to you, dear friend.
Yes, I buy flowers for myself! It is not weird at all.
Keeping fit on a walking pad is great especially as you work from home. I walk so much, I don't think I need one.
The yellow lantern is sweet and it's great that you went out for a beer in the 'garage'.
I smiled about the 'sieb'/zip! Oh those Aussies!
Fried egg on toast! Yumm!
Lovely photo of Henry...
A belated happy T-Day,
Lisca
Wow that was some welcome you got from your work. It's nice to be wanted. Your desk buddy, Lippy is very cute. Also glad you got one last Summer and the rain you love so much. My neighbor, Prissy used to buy herself flowers when she did her grocery shopping. Nothing like treating yourself. Happy T Day
Yes, I SO hope I get the certificate! Oh, today was another mild day.
Yes, Limpy by accident got the same arm limp that I have - my friend didn´t even do it on purpose (I cannot crochet). Yes, reckon from time to time I might check ALDI on a late Saturday again!
nice arts
Thank you, dear friend Linda! Warm hugs and much love is on the way back to you!
I think I might look for cheap ALDI-flowers that need a home more often on late Saturdays :-)
Nono, not the Aussies, the gus are from Austria, near Vienna. They speak German with an accent.
Thank you.
A happy post, and a good week for you! You deserved those flowers.
Thank you, sometimes life is like really good!
