With this summerly drink I join Elizabeth´s T and likely say good-bye to this "Summer".
The journal:
Defrosted the freezer and made a second carton on Ingo´s display.
But I´m freezing....
Tuesday: 13C / 55F and of course I overdid it with defrosting.
I.must.keep.my.back.still. fK called me stupid and she is right, too. As is Ingo. I was so cold I had to take a hot shower.
New series about an Uber-driver - nearly a psychologist!
Wednesday: Sick. Only fruit and yogurt.
Had the corset too tight. Now... coughing or sneezing.. outch, my ribs!
Thursday: A bit better, fruit and fruit cuts with wholegrain oat flakes, cornflakes and corn - and sunny, 30C / 86F. Slowly went to REWE.
fK
called, she´ll work from ESE on Monday and if she meets fE and she has
no news she´ll ask her if she may contact directly mK, wish him a
belated Birthday and ask if he has news.
What chaos.
Friday: Big Niece asked if I have time for a call and we nearly talked an hour!
She
visits the school I went to back in the day but wee... different
times!
After two toilets were bombed and in both, girls and boys
bathroom was sh#t on the wall they now have to organize "toilet
supervision"! How sad is that.
And, she said, always be careful - some
students sneak their smartphones under the door to get a picture!
Some
classes have so many pupils who don´t speak German, I thought she talks
of Berlin and not little Seesen!
On
her Birthday they painted glasses at her home and one really painted
Hit#er and a Hakenkre#z. Police is involved... Sick times.
Later: Wonderful rain and thunder!
Weekend: Saturday:
Had to switch from QR-code to username & password at our bank.
Thankfully Ingo reminded me. Complicated and is it really "safer"? You
still need two devices, if you wanna do it at your PC.
Ingo drove fed me nuts. I added blueberries. To a healthy life...
Sunday: Silent day.
Munchy:
And, oh, boy, September already!
This is where I´ll stroll by soon :-) St. Andreas in the background.
Happy T-Day!

Dear friend Iris, I love your drawings. The onion cake looks great. And the last image for September 2026 made me laugh. Hugs and love ❤️
Dear friend Linda, thank you! The onion cake I made myself and invited my neighbor W (86) - he liked it, too :-)
Yes, Wendy Binks is a great artist and those birds are runners, I can tell! Hugs and love on the way ❤️
Like Linda: I love your drawings!
Thank you!
...13C / 55F is indeed cold for the end of July. Whar strange weather you have. Iris be warm and well.
Your art is always fun to see. Although it's not funny, I laughed at the toilet. And I loved the melting snow people. Your fruit looks happy. I just wish you felt better.
A mocktail. Nice. My kind of drink. Thanks for sharing your week and drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Lovely artwork! Happy September and I wish you all the best. I am glad you are feeling better. Lovely mocktail :) You had a very busy week! Much hugs and love!
Yes, this was no real summer, Tom... again...
Thank you, Elizabeth and good news: I´m on the way up!!!
Thank you, Maria. Oh, well, busy... I am still on hold, work-wise... But hope is there - with that hugs and love on the way!
Glad you are feeling slightly better. That mocktail looks lovely. My sister bought me a mocktail once when I was driving and it was delicious. (I was afraid it would be too sweet but it wasn't)
Really strange weather you have. And they tell me that in the Netherlands it is also nice weather. (at least higher temperatures than in Braunschweig).
I was shocked to hear your nieces story about her school. How awful!
Yumm, your onion quiche looks delicious. Send me over a piece, would you?
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Sorry to read your back is still a problem. And yes, you need to rest it. Have you been using heat and ice also, or aren't you supposed to do that? A mocktail Pina colada sounds wonderful. And I love your journal pages. They made me smile. Except the toilet. I can't believe students would do that (well I can believe it but why? ) and so it is a pain for everyone with supervised bathroom times. Happy September to you Iris. I hope it's not too cold for you, and your back feels better too. Take care-and happy T day. hugs-Erika
I love Piña Coladas, but 0% alcohol - LOL! I always enjoying looking at your cartoons, and my favorite this week are your melting snowmen. I've never heard of onion cake, so I'm intrigued. St. Andrea looks like a lovely place to stroll. Happy T stands for Tuesday!
That journal page of the toilet -- YIKES! And the Hitler thing wasn't good either. Please rest that back. Please. And, do you have a heating pad? Might it help both the back and the cold? I use mine often just on my lap when it's really cold out!
Yes, surprsingly not too sweet that Mocktail. Yes that was some "summer"...
Sad with that school and a virtual piece of cake is on the way, happy T-Day
Reckon that back will take a long time to recover...
I softly build up the muscles and think that´s the right way, plus corset and massage corset. And a warmie for the back, too. The pupils have to do the supervision in shifts, it´s sad.
Thank you, Erika, A nice September to you, too, hugs
I always need to try new stuff, alcohol or not ;-)
Yes, defrosting took forever despite the cups with hot water I put in. The cake is really yummy :-)
St Anreas is the highest here in Braunschweig, Ingo went all to the top! Happy T-Day.
Yes, what is with kids today...
I have a warmie for my back, other corset and massage corset and peu à peu rebuilding the muscles. It takes long but I will make it :-)
Lovely images 😊
Yes, times are cray cray!!! I wouldn't want to be a kid today. Toilets, yuck.
You must take it easy!!
Love your drawings!! I know, September already, we are in for a heat wave.
It sounds like an up and down week, Iris. At least you are feeling a bit better.
Thank you.
Yes, I wouldn´t want to be a kid these days, either! Thank you amd ohhhh, heat wave! Lucky you!
Yes, RedPat, up and down and on the way up, health wise, finally!
I'm so sorry about your back. Mine is starting to feel better but I'm like you I can't do much. The Pina Colada looks good. Especially with no alcohol. I have never had onion cake before it sounds good. Henry looks so regal today. Take care of yourself.
Luv your art
It's September already!!!!
Today i am
HERE
Much love
Your journal drawings are always fun. I know you aren't enjoying the heat, but I want those snowmen to melt! I want to enjoy the hot weather a little while longer as Winter is just around the corner. You don't have to shovel hot and humid. Happy T Day
Back is on the way up, if slowly :-) You should try onion cake, so yummy! Let´s take care....
Yes, can you believe it, September... hopping over tomorrow (going to bed now)
Yes, no such things when I was at school, and kids spoke German....
I LOVE heat!!! This was no summer....
I love the calendar pages and your drawings too. Sorry to hear the school is so bad, here in Australia phones are banned at schools now.
I am very sorry to hear your back is still not better and now the ribs too?? I do not agree with keeping your back still, gentle movement is necessary for healing, but is it possible the too tight corset has cracked a rib? That will take 6 weeks to heal, I remember from my cracked rib how it hurt with sneezing or coughing or even laughing and the hospital told me 6 weeks is standard time for cracked ribs to heal and they were right.
I once had a "proper" Pina Colada and it was very nice but I only drank half.
How many months now has your back been hurting? It seems way too long to me.
Hello Iris,
Happy September ! I am sorry you are not feeling well, I hope you are better soon. I do not like feeling cold and I am not a fan of the cold winter that is coming. I always enjoy your cute sketches. Take care, have a happy day!
