FFO - SING And... Brother-Love

  

Well... I nearly knew them all - you? 

With this happy, singing, sweet face I join Nicole´s FFO.

And for Gillena´s Lunch Break I have this:

 

 Now some funnies? Something to make you smile BIG:

 

 Isn´t he the VERY cutest???

 

 

It.Is.Cold.

 
 

 

 

For in case of ear worm-alarm dear Freddie steps in!

 

 "Ma-aa! Shady Pines!"

 

  

 

... that´s what "we" say at ESE.

 

 And of course...

 

 

 

 Henry 🦁 

 

 Hope you do.

 

 

A Wish, One Wish - What Is Yours?

I know... you are tired of this but it has to get out.

To the art not only of nature but also of engineering.

My teamleader mK wants me back. I worked for him for Deutsche Bahn and we did very well together as in I didn´t go on his nerves and the customer was content - despite it was not easy. 

See.. after I lost my job at Brunel and got the hint to try at ESE I picked one of these, took a deeeeep breath and wished they take me. 

And they did. 

 

Three.Days.Later!!!  

 

I got hence this, with three:

 

For in case you are new here: I never had interest in tattoos.

Then my Brother one Sunday afternoon was there, August 2002, asking me to help our Dad on his last journey. I got a tattoo and years later learned that in extreme situations people do this to lead the pain - or, in this case joy, away or to the heart. 

 

So  I picked, took, wished.

 

I also assembled:

 

 

 Three is a lucky number, right? Three extra-pieces were in there!

 

 

 

I arranged mine different  to the package due to static. 

This is a very small "wedding glass" Ingo got from his colleagues 2013... I don´t want it to drop over, right?

OK, our wedding rings are made of titanium, what can go wrong? 

I have a man´s ring and my Brother sure had trouble to make it smaller ;-)

 

For in case you want to marry in Australia: Men and women do NOT share the "same" ring!!!!

How´s it like in your place?

In Germany they are the "same", how else will you see who is with whom?

 

Well ...just wish me luck ESE takes me back again.

 

 

They want, two projects in the pipe FOR ME but times are hard...

Waiting hurts... 

 

 Ingo believes in me... I´ll unpack when... not IF... WHEN...

 What do YOU wish for? Let me know, if you like.

 

 
 

My Egg Was Bad And.... I´ve Never Been to New York!

 

I made another crumpet but the eggg... huuuu... to the outdoor-bin it went! Instead I had Greek yogurt with fruit which lead me to an earworm of Greek wine and hence to this wonderful song I´d like to share with you! I may have before. 

It´s about freeing yourself. 

And staying. 

Because...actually you are happy. 

We were at a concert Udo Jürgens gave here in Braunschweig, we were... it was awesome! 

 

 

And here is the Greek Wine-Song. 

 

When nasty Germany needed help after WWII people astonishingly from all over Europe came for help. 

 

In this song Udo (from Austria - like the tiny man who started WWII, btw) walks the street at night, it´s cold, but there is a light shining into the street, so he steps in. 

 

There were men with black hair and brown eyes and.... 

 

One stood up!!! 

 

And... 

 

Invited him. 

They drink Greek wine and tell him how they miss home, that they feel like strangers and... alone. 

 

 

Ages ago we were in Greece and it was great.

Sadly I don´t like wine, so.... yogurt with me?

 

For Tom´s Signs2 just scroll down, if you care.

 

 

Back To School!

I invite you for Tom´s Signs2 once again to Perth Zoo.

We never stop, right?

 

 

T STands for LaughTer

 

Huh, what?!

 

... "According to a mysterious recipe" - but, as Heidrun rightfully said here: We should not say witch (Hexe), but nature expert. Oh, but don´t you love the "black cat"? And the bats?

This comes from the Harz mountains "around the corner", is a non-alcoholic drink.

Guess some think, hey, Braunschweig?! She lives close to Wolfenbüttel, where Jägermeister comes from, she should drink that when speaking of herbal drinks, but, no.

 

 "Has something..." if orange or all herbs, we have it.

 

 

With this herbal yum I join Elizabeth´s T. 

 

The journal from past week:

 

Monday: Went to REWE, Bea at the self-check-out and I got greeted by her with, by hand-signal, LLAP 😘! 

Huh? Looked down on myself and yes, wore a Spock-T-Shirt..

 

 

... but it  was Star Wars Day! 

I had no idea as I´m no fan!!!

 

What´s yours  - I look for trekking, rather, but ... what the heck? Live Long And Prosper!

 TV-News: 76% of Germans (...) are not happy with  Chancellor Merz/our politics, huhhhh, who guessed?!

 

  

Tuesday: Grey, not rainy. No nothing from my hopefully-again-boss. 

I feel pretty lost. "Pretty"...

 

 

Wednesday: Nice chat via phone - oh do I wish I was in the office! Feel so useless.

Had another crumpet, oh. I thought, hm. Hot pepper and cinnamon - good combo?

And weeeee.. the cinnamon went in. Was more like a cake. And my sweet tooth was asleep! 

 

Ingo rescued my cam... again! 

 

 

Thursday: Crumpet with egg´n cheese (and hot pepper and thyme).

Darn it: Same in your place? Ingo does not like crumpets, so I buy but for myself and.it.is.too.much. AI said I can freeze it. What did we do before AI???? Managed over half a half one and luckily you can have the rest cold later.

 

Friday: Wanted to call a Mrs Lachmund > "Laughing mouth". Instead a man answered and guess what -  I made him laugh! It was about the darn condo in BH and he asked, "who lived in there before?" - me: "hang on... looks like under the sofa... HEMPEL!"

There is a German saying about people who are a bit messy... "Looks like at Hempel´s under the sofa". The mnemonics one has, huh. We left laughing into the weekend.

Nice long chat with cf, more laughter. 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Yippee... WiFi-cables part#1 are off the ground! It was always a "watch out, don´t stumble!", especially with W.

Evening, Ingo knocks, I´m at the PC.... I say, "you don´t have to click!" - See how much I look forward to work?! In my brain: click...

I remember when we went dancing on Saturday nights... 

Wall-E on TV! 

Got kisses. 

 

Sunday: Die Maus: "Das war Österreichisch". In Die Maus they explain to us kids what will be the program and repeat it in a different language, naming which one it was direct after.

This time it was Austrian! And.. I thought "???" having worked with Austrians for months it´s German in a different accent to me, that´s all. To others it´s a foreign language.

My beginning with them: "Please, repeat?", LOL, or "I didn´t understand?" - "Passt" - "Huh?!" 

Got kisses. 

Bummer... German ex-chancellor Schröder at Putin´s side? Please, no. 

 

Sadly then. When something steams I will not touch it. Ingo flipped BIG (all good again).

 

 Munchy...

 

 

Freezed the rest and have a sweet tooth-person in mind. And will be careful next time!!!

The hearty I show you next time, yum! 

 

Henry 🦁 

Have a happy, yummy T-Day and laugh a lot.

See. I am an honest person. 

If the agency of work forces me to apply the other person at that job-place would see: I don´t want to.

I proved myself at ESE. I had wonderful colleagues and was allowed to work from home even after Covid. Because they TRUST me.

 

Nobody Pushes

 

 

Only one reason why I love Perth. 

Just had a chat about "monthly tickets" here in Braunschweig.

Transperth... a break of several years due to Covid? No worries, your money´s still on there!

For Monday murals just scroll down.  - QUACK!

 

Birdies!!!! 140 Of Them!! #3

 

 

One more of the mural-series by Graeme Miles Richards.

Hey, is that a duck from Braunschweig sneaking in there?

A fine idea of the artist to put an "ordinary" duck between those exotic birds, don´t you think?

 

Braunschweig, btw....

 

Ingo drove with me to Globus last week and we passed by this:

 

Dear Sami, (at least) one tennant is still living in there and hence... the house is still standing!

 

This is for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!
