Former Horten #1

 

 

I think this counts as mural?

I went to Magniviertel, to a second hand clothes shop to give some still good stuff away and on the way back I saw a bunch of murals as...

 

I think it´s strange.

My dentist, a very, very nice lady, drives her Hubby nuts with selling used stuff via Amazon. 

I still wait for my job, yet give away for free. 

My rocking-moose - a 2-y-o will hopefully enjoy it, her Grandma picked "him" up last week....

 

Wish I could join you... 

 

Dear host, your friend who asked if the store, Horton, later Galeria Kaufhof, still exists... nope.

Maybe a music-school or...??? ... "soon"...

At least a place for artists now. No name, sadly, but more to come. 

 

This is for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

 

Henry 🦁´s Baby:

 

 ... Winter time.

Yupp. What nonsense with LEDs and stuff, too! 

 

 

 

Karma!

It was a Summer´s day in 1978. "Take care of your Brother!", Mom said and left us in the garden.

I carried him to a tree so he can practice how to sit and left for the swing to read a book.

 

Not long and he started to complain. 

Of course I ignored that.

 

He started to cry. He started to yell. Scream!!! I ran to get Mom.

She took him up, smelled, all good but he didn´t stop!!!! By now it was real bad.

 

Mom opened the nappy and started to... laugh.

 

I swear: It was not on purpose!!!! 

I sat the poor guy on an ant hill.

He has two daughters, "nothing"´s broken and he celebrates another Birthday tomorrow.

 

Fast forward to 1999. I parked the car, took out the chairs, Ingo and I watched the Sun go down in the ocean near Kalbarri, Western Australia.

Ingo: "Owwww!!!" Despite the heat I wore socks but at one point: "owwww!" - grabbed down: pollen. Huh?! Brushed them off. Ingo: "owwww!!!"... yips, wasn´t pollen but huge Australian ants!!!! II´d put my chair directly on their nest....

 

2010 or such (?) our bus from Madeley to Perth broke down, we all had to get out. I stood in the grass when....

So of course 2017 I had to buy this piece of art in Freo and join Nicole´s...

 

 SITAR.

And, if you smiled or grinned... Gillena´s Sunday Smiles...

 

Let´s go back to 1995:

 

 I show you this as a good bye by an Emu, who roams the area, too:

 

 Let me be chaotic like the weather here, I need to show you these two before I really say good-bye and wish you a happy Sunday:

 

 

 

Wiki: "Local legend claims this boab tree near Derby was used as a prison, hence the name the 'Boab Prison Tree' "

 

If I remember correct, what we did in Derby was getting our car fixed.

We´ve been wondering why the workers had beers.

Turned out... it was a Saturday arvo!!! Actually they´d closed down already...

For little money and with big smiles they not only fixed what´d broken but also a bit more that was to break soon. 

Go, visit Derby, on any day! 

And watch the tide of 11.8 metres (39 ft)!!!! More than in Broome! Which is already scary! 

 

 

Splash - Do It Right!

Against the shit#y weather I have this for you today: 

 

 

 .. which is of course for...

 

Eileen.

Likely AI, the video, but who cares... I do not. It´s cute!

 

Henry 🦁 

 

 ... and put on your warm clothes if in Northern hemisphere and enjoy a cool Autumn-day.

 

 

 

FFO - Nearly There

 

 

 Better like this? Ack. I´m rusty.

 

 

 

Let´s hope we don´t get sick. I was freezing my head off despite winter-PJs, robe, two blankets.

Someone knocked at the door. Ingo was gone already.

I was... naked. Maybe cause I was so cold all night?

 

There was a woman, a bit younger than me, also naked and. She.Wanted.To.Get.Inside!!!! 

 

I HATE those real-life dreams. 

 

I yelled for help, no one heard me, she looked at me, mad.

I pulled myself together, said, "OK, come on in, won´t help if we yell."

 

And, like that sketch-girl above she suddenly was nice. 

Halloween on the way?

With this I join Nicole´s...

 

 

FFO.

 

Other... SMILE!

 

 Well, we have a small condo, balcony and I hang the laundry like that - I´m close - you?

 

 Always assuming the worst.

 

 ... what I should´ve done!

 

 

... why I have the DVDs!!! 

When a girl (well, married already) get´s my for-free DVDs to make sure to watch in the original BECAUSE of the quotes being correct, then I can´t be wrong!

 

 ... speaking of...

 

 

Do you have such weird, real-like dreams, too? I hate them.

What are they for??? 

 

Telling me I´ll get sick? Or everything´s gonna be all right??? Love is the answer, all ghosts are welcome?

 

 Henry 🦁´s cousin being near-Halloween-silly:

 

 

Jägermeister

 

15 km from our doorstep...

Other I have nothing good. 

Yesterday Bro & family wanted to come over, car broke down etc, etc 

 

Henry 🦁´s wife...

 

 

9C, cloudy. Dark, icky. My "new" allergy drives me nuts... 

So... let´s think of YUM! 

 

Can only get better... Cheers.

P.S... no sausages for me, please... And.. Bavaria is Bavaria. Pretzel... Bavaria, Schweinshaxe...

 

We are not so "fatty" here. Ingo can make Roulades and.. Schnitzel, sometimes ;-)

We´re the "Northern Guys". 

 

Hihi, what "people" think we eat.  Or drink - Düsseldorf... no.

Pass me the Grünkohl, please. 

 

 

 

 

Don´t Trust Me?

 

She wears a crown. I do not, but my name is... aw, well.

I´m (translated) the Emperor ;-) 

I bet she does a better job on your head than I can, though.  

Also she looks cute.

 

Our hair-salon aka kitchen aka Hairy Canary is still open, though!

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

 Henry 🦁

Yes, with Heimbs Henry stands for "Masterpieces of Coffee Artistry" and he has a passion for beans! Having your coffee in his paws!

 

 

Cheers!

When I roamed their place to take pics I was asked if I want a coffee. Sadly my stomach had to say no. 

 

 

T STands For WOAH!

 

I tried so many sorts of water. None is even halfway close to the yummy one they had in hospital. Frustrating. So, with this un-yummy one I join Elizabeth´s T (still better than from the tab and it has a Henry on it).

 

The journal:

 

 

Monday: Of course. 08:30 app at the eye-doc. Ready to be there at 07:30. Well, better this way than too late. Was done at 11. Two docs saw me in a hurry.

Not my year. An eye-OP is due. I´m pretty scared. "I´ll sign you sick for a week then." - "No!!!! I don´t want to, I gotta work!"

Looked at me. ... ... "You are the first (!) who does NOT want to get signed sick!!!"

They have an extra-day, Friday so I have the weekend to heal. 

 

 

Tuesday: Some books found a new owner. More clothes sorted. Started with my back-training - FINALLY!

 

Wednesday: Near to no itching at night - am I through "fighting" the medication?

A woman kneeling behind the fence, taking care of some plants. When I passed she looked up, I looked down and we gave a cheery hello.

No, I don´t know her :-) I kept on smiling for a while. 

Bro called!!! (pssst, don´t tell Ingo - 3 hours) - good news: Bro´s not mad I did and will go to optometrist-chain Fielmann! 15 minutes 1 way on foot instead of 1 1/2 hours 1 way via public transport to him!

 

Thursday: Went to REWE. There is a huge crack in the cycle path.

E-scooter-driver one: WOAH! Number two directly behind, WOAH!!! I giggled my way home. Was like being in a comic... An echo...

 Bro called again. We talked till 3. Yes, a.m. ... I am too old for this! 

But it was very interesting!

He remembered things from a very young age. Stuff I put far, far away. Glad I only know it now and cannot tell my Dad off. How can one "forget"?! How can those long-forgotten memories come back to Bro´s mind suddenly?!

Can you relate???? 

 

Friday: Squeezed my but# out off bed shortly before 8. Bro slept in. I am the old(er) one!  

One more call, Bro, SIL and I got "the problem" solved, phew. 

Watched Hitchcock´s "Birds". By golly. We were afraid of THIS? And... it´s crows. Close-ups: sea-gulls... Hmm, what?! 

Got Pizza from Smileys, YUM. 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Ingo made yummy food, Savoy Cabbage à la GDR.

Sunday: Die Maus and "Hänsel und Gretel" as very scary fairytale.

Bro called. 

Munchy:

  

Wait for the cabbage!

Henry 🦁

 To a yummy-funny week! WOAH!!!
