T STands For DesasTers

 With this "cool" drink I join Elizabeth´s T.

The journal:

 

Monday: My idea, K´s doing: Next week Banksy and Zoo it is!

By car. Aw, well. Her wish. Teamleader gave thumbs up, I feel like a 5-year old!

Yes, I am an introvert and yes, this is an "achievement"...

Great work with L!!! She´s just like me, let´s get it done! No fussing around, I love this!

4 sessions of training. 

Tuesday: Admin T, oh, we had a longer chat. Seems like we´re both a tad frustrated with some (same) colleagues!

It´s gotten cold. Thankfully Ingo needed to see the dentist and hence saw: Heating isn´t working.

I would´ve frozen my butt off thinking everything is OK, I just have a cold day!

4 sessions of training.

 

Wednesday: What did I do Wednesday (it´s Friday already!)??? This week flew by! I think I tore my left upper-arm-muscle again.

Tried/did 4 sessions of training anyways, burpees are OK! Just arm up hurts.

Thursday: Can´t sleep on either side, arm hurts. 

Work... love that L shortens content A LOT. But her idea of design is rather... special and she hasn´t shown it to anyone but me.

I see ourselves moving eventually backwards.

 

Ingo: "Give me your finger." He put it in his mouth... one of his teeth in the back to the left  - outch!!!! A HUGE hole. Drs app Friday. Next week.

Friday: Asked Admin T > do that Lenovo-update? Yupp.

Had but one instead of three monitors.

We tried till after 05:00 p.m. (I start 06:00 a.m.) - nada, nothing! > Monday.

Did, whilst Mrs. Holle shook out her bedsheet.

Thought, wearing headphones, I threw something off the table - was THUNDER.

Then T exclaimed: LOOK!!! OUTSIDE!!! ALL WHITE!!!

 

Doctor´s-visit (neurologist due to numb feet) - electro-shocks!!!! All normal, MRI etc will have to follow 😕

Weekend: Saturday: Lazy day, College-footy on TV

Sunday: -1C/30F and it was already 09:00 a.m.

Sadly we always read the weekend-paper on Sundays. Braunschweig failed again to advertise in time. On Saturday there were 113 pairs of shoes as reminder of violence against women (who speaks of men, happens to them, too).

I would´ve gone to take a pic. And bought a Pizza da Guido´s. Instead I made some Christmas-cards for the first time, was fun. More footy on TV.

Munch-wise:

Henry 🦁

 

 

Have a sweet week ahead. And maybe a pizza.

 

T STands For Fun Times

 

 

My ticket to Elizabeth´s T. Milk from the coast! Moin!

And the journal...

 

Monday: Public holiday. Watched some movies.

We are together since 29 years!!! 😍

Need to buy a smaller sun-brolly, this one is too heavy for me to build up.But it had cooled down anyways.

Brekkie: Pizza-muffin, late lunch: onion cake... both YUM and self-made! I altered the recipes a bit. If only my Mum would know. She had absolutely NO confidence in me cooking/baking.

 

Tuesday: 07:00 am. Teamleader3 calls to say he has private stuff to do for two hours, if I have enough work. Hahahaha.... YES!

But isn´t it sweet he takes care? 

 

Wednesday: Doors, doors, doors. I know a lot about those now.

And tables, tables, tables... as figures! Dumb people. They KNOW these documents need to get translated.

I had to tip all the text anew. Takes forever and is so needless.

After I found two "real MS Word" tables I thought I´ll be finished soon.

Nada.

On came some HUGE, fancy tables. I learned a lot about Word, but I had to concentrate so much, I started to mix it up and could not finish.

Sadly chef-chef needs especially that document as the door-tests are to begin soon and dumb me in the meeting said I´m at it and nearly finished...

Thursday: Crazy day. Went to the city in the morning, it was 8C/46F. I wore a long shirt, a hoody and a jacket.

It is June 1st. And I saw people roaming around outside in T-shirts!!! Later it "warmed up" to 17C/62F. One woman even in a sleeveless shirt and one in shorts!! There was a nasty, cold wind... But when the calendar says it´s June...

Saw 12 Braunschweig-Pantos on my way 🥰

 

Friday: I finally finished the doors.

By golly. I had to type variables letter by letter from a nearly unreadable "table".

As we shall not alter the documents other than translating I had to put it in as graphic  as well... have fun reading that, the quality is real shit#y. As real table no prob.

Planted poppies - wish me luck.

Planting those in June?! They will think it´s still May, it´s way too cold for the season still.

Ingo ordered Greek food again.

 

Weekend: Saturday: Carousels and all, post to come, oh! And a yummy taco!!!

Sunday: I was the "Hairy Canary" again  (thank you, Tom).

Speaking of canary.

I answered Teamleader3 with "Tschüssi, Ciao, Tschüssi!" Oh, lordy!

My tongue is often faster than my brain! 

I also still have the "Mimimi" from Siemens...

Anyhows, I´m getting much better at shaving Ingo´s hair. But I could not imagine to do this 8 hours a day!

 

 

After die Maus we watched the fairy tale  - with a Butt - you call it Bothidae 🐟

Ingo had pressies. By goodness, I am too old for sexy clothes! 🤣

Really, that is a LOT of pressure...

The first wood-strawberry of the year!!! 🍎

How come in this shit#y cold?!

And we get the EFL on TV!!!! European Football League!

Soccer, you LOSE OUT!

Boy. 1998 (?) a friend took us to a football game.

I did not want to go, thought it is as aggressive as soccer.

Football is FUN.  FAIR.

Henry 🦁

Ingo Saturday dragged me into the tourist info.

I came out with this tealight and  ...

 

 

Read already 2 and am at the third.

I have help, of course:
 

I love my kindle, but isn´t this bookmark SO FUN?

 

Just A Quick One

 

 

Coincidence I put the compost in an NFL-bowl! 

I used it as I needed to do the dishes anways, and we had noodles in this.

We live ground floor, so I never use paper bags to bring out the compost, why add more "recycling-paper", right.

 

And doesn´t it look arty? 

 

It´s the head of a pineapple, carrot-peel, an old egg-shell (I marked it so Ingo gets the fresh ones).

 

No idea if we go and watch the "New Yorker" Lions play this season. 

They´re first league American Football but we know none of the players anymore, the whole atmosphere went down the drain, it got so expensive... 

From 12 000 visitors it went down to 3 000, how sad is that.

Compost!

Henry 🦁

Baby Henry, life is a changing...

Also we have no GFL (German Football League) or EFL (European Football League)-bowls. The Lions were champions in both several times, just sayin´...

To the (g)olden times.

At least we can watch NFL on TV now!

USA In Bavaria

 

Don´t ask me why but the  first time (?) a game of American Football was held in.. Bavaria.

 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks played.

If it had been with the a German team (Braunschweig, 1st league) I´d understood why - 

but why do two American teams travel to Bavaria to play?

Bavaria always holds up the flag high for being "Bavaria",not Germany... yet... they joined in with this:

 

 

Copy cat? 

United States Of America welcomed the team with her:

 

Little "Germany".. and Germany for real  who provides but lies to countries in need and lets politicians visit soldiers in the desert in high heels!!! gave this:

What a shame on ... well, since Bavaria does not want to be German... to Bavaria.

We watched the game none-the less, of course!

Ingo loved the Pirates of the Caribbean series and hence our bedroom has this flag:

American Footy, welcome here, maybe next time in our region....

Grünkohl, anyone? It´s cold outside!

 

Henry 🦁

Was a great weekend - tough week ahead...

We´ll manage.. like a Quarterback (or a Wide Receiver, rather 😉 )

T STands For SUMMER & Six ThirTy

 

I keep skipping training.

For once we seem to have a good summer - I take it in fully!

Some ups and downs, but, since we cannot travel I allow myself a time-out, training-wise.

The journal:

 

Monday: Got Ingo´s bread and my new Braunschweig T-Shirt.

Ingo´d bought me one in the smallest men´s size, but I could order it in women´s size, yipee!

 

Tuesday: Went to the city again and my sweet tooth woke up - salted butter caramel... hmmm.

They also had cinnamon and sesame but sadly I can eat but one scope.

Made Pizza with filo (hmmm, well... has to be repeated, as I froze the rest - don´t  try this).

 

Wednesday: A tough day at work - teamleader N thanked me and sent me off to the balcony.

It is so good when your work is worth something and people let you know!

Motivation! Oh, I hope to keep the job SOOOOO much!

 

Thursday: Meeting with teamleader N at 06:30 am.

Yipeeeee... no 9-5er! And does this not match the book I´m going on your nerves with?

The perfect match - I count as simply one of the men! Thanks to brave women of the past!

If you pop in just Tuesdays (I know a great book about a dog called Tuesday...) here goes:

The book is about a female scientist in Chemistry in the 1960´s - it was a man´s world!
And she fought for it becoming a human, an equal world.

A stray dog was following her one day, she didn´t notice. Her boyfriend looked out the window and pointed at it, she thought he wants to know the time, it was Six-Thirty in the afternoon and hence she named the dog like that :-)

She fights her way through for women being accepted in the man´s world in a funny, semi-scientist way, very well written!

 

Today:

 

It fits, and I do NOT lie to you, I take them as they come!

 

And here goes (shortcuts to the essential):

Friday: Another late meeting with teamleader N.

Him - "wait a sec, I need to get an apple - not really vegan, I´ll have to munch around it!" 😉

We exchanged some private stuff and whilst I thought we were going at my problems we went at his... that hence became mine, 🤣

But - and I did not and told him - count that all of it as work-time. 

Hence we also agreed that if I simply have to work longer - which I am not allowed to - I write the hours down separate and .. you know, we go the informal way.  

 

Why I did not count some of this as work-time? He showed me and explained how trains are build - it was in the document. Super-interesting!

 

Also customer W thanked me.

 

There is certainly always the one.. but let´s skip that!

Weekend: Saturday I found snail mail from my Brother (& family) addressed to "Iris and Ingo K."

 

Hehe. Ingo somehow was not able to change his surname to mine when we got married, but uses it all the time.

 

And, Bro had no influence on this, but the post put a stamp on it that nearly made me cry. 

I betrayed Ingo in 2008. (HUH - SHOCK!)

Against his will I contacted his Brother who lived  in Lübeck back then, the city where the famous Marzipan is from.

I told him how little Ingo only weighs by now - Ingo was very, very sick, he sent the parents with the camper van so Ingo was able to be lying down the next day and saved Ingo´s life. Yay to radiologists! ... the ones who know what they do!

He told me if I´d called earlier he might not´ve found what´s wrong - and if I´d waited longer it would´ve been too late.

And then THIS via MY Brother. Life has some funny ways, huh.

Sunday: Lazy day. Die Maus but not the fairy tale. Oh, those very, very old Czech ones are no fun.

Die Maus is already in September or October 31st.

Why the rush?!!!! Live here and now - in SUMMER!!!

 

Next Sunday we get a Christmas-scene?

 

Food-wise:

 

 

I found those cups for free in the street 🥰

My entry to Elizabeth´s T-Day is what Ingo disapproved of... It´s the new Logo of the formerly sweet and great Braunschweig Lions to the now "New Yorker Lions", named after the new sponsor New Yorker.

A clothes´s shop where the music is blaring so loud you just don´t care to go in.

Game days became bad, too, as the team. Still first league, but we didn´t go in ages.

 

So, Henry 🦁

 

  

And, to NOT end on a bad note:

 

 Have a happy T-Day!
