With this drink I am back in Broome where you find Sun Pictures,
the oldest open air cinema in the world (with newest technology). We
watched - among many, many others - Forrest Gump there in 1995 and there sure was a lot of Dr.
Pepper in the White House involved... My ticket to Elizabeth´s T!
Wish we could go again.
The journal:
Ingo came home with this, awwww, cute!
LOL, his colleagues really thought we lived in hotels when we traveled Australia.
They fail to understand living in a car is OK, too - well, no idea if now I´d like to do that anymore but back in the day it was OK!
And I learned. Thought "Trucker Babes" is... for the lower-minded. No. Cool women! Always be open-minded, don´t be arrogant!!! This is a note to myself!
Tuesday: Just a bad day. I was sooooo tired, must be the weather! Didn´t perform well at work.
At least mSA gave me a virtual tour through and around our tram.
On the document he went, "oh shit, holy shit!!!" Not the F-word but I am back at ALSTOM 🤣
Didn´t breath in shock as I did at ALSTOM Salzgitter and was told off...
He put Ingo´s parcel in the stairway.
Wednesday: Again such a day. fK said she´s proud of me, I´m less hectic. I learn to see the good in bad.
Had a problem with fCA´s template - luckily!!!! She called at once - turned out there is a whole lot of information that wasn´t given to me, she nearly flipped! So, for tomorrow she´ll call me into her meeting to clarify with mDA1´s boss mDA2.... oh I hope this does not backfire...
Heck, all the stuff I "learned" at tecteam seems so useless...
Thursday: A silly day. The German language can be funny. This is just as a memory: Wanted to let fK know mDA1 unlikely will solve the problem fast. By accident added (thick fingers?) the letter "w", saw it in time but said, I leave it in, much to fK´s amusement...
So it became "unwahrschweinlich" - suggesting he is no pig (Schwein) 🐷.
mSA delivered promptly, yippee!
Problem with mDA1 solved.
Found Oh Hey WA - suburb tours it will be come February! 🥰
Friday: mSA wanted to have a meeting with me for an hour. We hung up after over 1 1/2 hours! Not because I am stupid, he had fun showing me how the windows of the tram get replaced, explained it all. We´re one age, so old we both worked with drawing machines!
He said he´ll send me all figures I´ll need and to call anytime.
We both agreed how Covid had it´s good sides, too! I mean, sure as hell I don´t wanna move to Vienna! And it´s the funniest when you hear "damn" in Austrian! When he curses it´s in Austrian-English, LOL.
Then fK needed a break and called. Good work day!
Weekend: Saturday: I met Michele. Oh. He helped me getting my Bose back and despite (!) being a tech-guy like myself he was lyrical!!!! So sweet! A service that cost me €1. (an update threw me out).
In the chat he even referred to railway explaining the "electrical busses" from system to system!
To guys who know their job, are friendly and ..sweet! And helpful! I had no serial number and he guided me through! Adriano Celentano sings beautiful songs again to me, yippeeee!!
Sunday: Löwenzahn, stress. Yes, animals and also plants can be stressed! What helps? Walking! And cleaning up. Well, the latter for humans...
Die Maus... With "Ente" - times are a changing!
A truly wonderful fairy tale.

Highway to Hell: Spooky Stories from Route 66
Hotel Monte Vista
At the western end of Route 66, in the city of Flagstaff, Arizona, lies one of the most sought-after hotels in the United States: the Hotel Monte Vista.
No one seems sure where they're coming from, but the hotel is known for its top floor and basement being haunted by evil spirits. Pets are not allowed in the top-floor rooms because they inevitably get out of control there."
The countdown to Creep:
Henry 🦁
Gosh, has that "kiddo" huge paws!

Ah... you with your little drawings... I always find them so nice and so expressive.
Thank you, they keep me sane ;-)
Fabulous, loving that little raccoon and your birthday pressies is beautiful and such a happy reminder of your travels 😊. Happy belated birthday wishes and Happy T Day ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
...Iris, I'm sure that all who know you are proud of you!!!
Lovely sketches yet again!
That hotel sounds very creepy. My husband and I once stayed in a haunted bed and breakfast in Arizona. Our first night was fine, but our second night we were the only guests and at about 5 AM we were both woken up by footsteps. Probably just the owners coming in to deliver breakfast, right? I love that Henry is on the handle of your mug in the first photo. Have a super rest of your T day Iris. How it's going well. hugs-Erika
It looks like quite a week. I always like your drawings but the raccoon is especially cute and making me smile big!
Thank you 😘 The pressie was from Ingo´s colleagues, though! Hugs x
Oh. Thank you, Tom!!!
Thank you, it´s fun to doodle about!
Huhhhh, Erika - that´d creeped me out with the footsteps! That mug-Henry is old and old "man says thank you :-) All well, I finished head and back windows of my tram so far today :-) To a great day, hugs
Raccoon says thank you :-)
Good drink! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com

May The Force Be Strong With You - All The Best This Week
Dance On ,
Cheers
I´m wishing you the same, cheers! Let´s dance!
Love the journal pages, Iris. Don't understand all the work stuff but it sounds like it is all good.
Thank you, RedPat - I so do hope all goes well at work!
Wir sind den Arizona Teil der Route 66 mehrmals gefahren und waren öfter in Flagstaff, aber dieses Hotel habe ich nie gesehen. Ist vielleicht ganz gut so. "unwahrschweinlich" werde ich in meinen Wortschatz aufnehmen, tolles Wort!
Ich würde das Hotel wohl auch eher meiden. Ach herrjeh, schön, dass "unwahrschweinlich" nach Übersee geht! 🐷🤣
Your drawings make me smile, I hope they make everyone else smile too :-)
Thank you - you made me smile with this :-)
Hello Iris! happy TDay! Love all your creative and fun drawings! Oh a hotel that is haunted? I would not be able to sleep at all. Have a lovely rest of the week! You are wonderful!
You reminded me of Dr Pepper — it’s been a long time since I had it, and I used to like it a lot!
Wonderful sketches, Iris. Dr. pepper used to be a favourite on mine but now I don't drink soda anymore. As a kid growing up on the eastcoast, we used to call soda, tonic. :)
I always enjoy seeing your sketches.
All the best Jan
Dear friend Iris, I love ❤️ your sketches, they always make me smile. I stopped drinking soda like Coke and everything else about 4 years ago, because even the zero sugar ones use some type of sweetener. I have been pre-diabetic for about 10 years now.
Henry and company look amazing.
Sending you much love ❤️ and warm hugs.
I love that all your work people are so friendly and helpful AND you got your Bose fixed 😁 I really like the singing dancing pig drawing. My younger son loves sauerkraut, he must be the only one, none of the rest of us like it, but maybe the twins will try one day.
Hi Maria, thank you, the journal keeps me sane - time runs way too fast! Agreed, I´d skip that hotel, too!
"How are you?" - "I gotta go pee...." ;-)
Thank you, Bill. Hmm, soda we don´t say at all! Or tonic. Rather "Brause".
Thank you! Reckon I´ll get going then!
Dear friend Linda, thank you 😘I seldom drink sodas, too. Mostly tea and tap-water. Sorry about pre-Diabetis. My Niece suffers Dieabetis 1, but reckon she handles it well. Henry and "Baby" say thank you, we all sending much love and warm hugs 🥰
Yes, I am SO.darn.lucky with my work-peeps - sad they are so far away! That pig... seems to make many happy, LOL. Well. Honest? I eat the sauerkraut. Likely wouldn´t make some myself....
