Do You Got....

 Found this rather "fake-fading" sign on the way past TU (technical university).

It says "Brain against hate" - translated to English. And then it´s more or less about AI filtering such content.

Google the German words and it´s about a musician, born here in  Braunschweig, Axel Bosse, now living in Hamburg.

Psychology: dehumanization, the brain has a mechanism for hate, on it goes.
Axel Bosse sells articles against hate and the campaign he works for takes a stand against violence, online hate speech, exclusion, and discrimination.
The organization he works with, Aktion Courage e.V,. is supported by the nationwide network “Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage” (School Without Racism – School With Courage). Bosse has been a school mentor in this network since 2016. 

Now I wonder: Is it on purpose the colors are so "thin", so "fading" - what do you think?

Is it we "accepted" hate in some way? 

And... who "hates" whom?

I bought a mobile alarm that makes a terrible sound and light when someone tries to grab me against my will.

Cause... I will not wear some Muslim cloth to cover my head.

A woolen hat against the cold, yes, but nothing religious.

In many a European country they try to even forbid those "scarfs" and yes.... the "word" integration comes to mind, somehow?

Tolerance, too. And on the latter "some" play not nice here. No hubby, "naked" head, oh-oh!

 

Sorry, but this, too, is where and how I live... You?

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

T STands For.. A Mixed Week

Of course, despite I actually do not like wine, I fell for the design and with that "drink" I join Elizabeth´s T. I mean... could you resist? The design?

 

The journal:

 

 

Monday: I woke up grumpy! That darn alarm lock failed!!!

Hups. Nope, my bad, I woke an hour early! Happy new week then!

Never.ask.an.11-y-o... what she wished for her Birthday. She could´ve talked Chinese!

LOL. Luckily offered to talk to her older Sis - like to an adult. 

Ingo got sick from the re-heated food... I was fine until... 

 

 

Tuesday: 02:30a.m.... Hello food! Got sick, too... Night is over. Also due to itching and burning. Must be the meds.

Decluttering / making nice, laundry ... 

Wednesday: Wonderful sunshine but cold! Some people non the less in only T-Shirt and shorts, brrrr. 

Dentist, "ah, you got such beautiful teeth!" - "Thanks to you!" - she grinned.

Back home, clothes for second hand shop.

Then... Graff. They should NOT let me in. Bought two Braunschweig-books and a sewing machine.

 

 

 

Brunch: real Italian ice-cream:  Salted caramel, soooo salty and yummy! I fear they go back to Italy soon...

Second hand online bay: Girl came by to get DVDs... to watch in the original (as long as English) cause: "in German the translated jokes go all wrong!!!" 

10 951 steps. 

 

 

Thursday:    October 29th. 3 "girls" for lunch. One colleague I do not know had to make room for me (inofficial version). Maybe too early, but I.Feel.Good!!!

 

Friday: First time I went out with Gurri this season. And got smiles!! Let a car driver in weird traffic pass though. The woman took the sec to wave a thanks to me.

If you are new: The company that sold this red coat with white Polka-dots named it/her "Gurri".

She was reduced as out of "fashion" and since 8 years she brings joy on grey, cold days.

People even stop me to give me smiles! 

 

 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Tired, oh, so darn tired! And still itchy from the meds.

Dunno if that´s it, but: I.Needed.A.Pink.Donut!!!! Didn´t manage the whole thing, but, yips, body yelled: Sweets!!!

Read both Braunschweig books, loads of non-fiction parts, very interesting!

Schuberth-helmets, for example. Heimbs café, trains... 

 

Sunday: Löwenzahn is getting dumber and dumber, reckon I skip this part of my childhood for good. Sad.

Die Maus... Let us see.

Fun was: The Nacker was there. Ingo´s Bro at a very young age got trapped in it and whenever he was up to something bad parents would warn, the nacker (Nussknacker) will come! 

Munchy:

 Back from hospital days. Our room, again, was the last to be served and the potaotoe-thingys were ready to kill someone if you hit them.

But the apple sauce!!!! With cinnamon and all, to die for!

  So sweet Henry grew a hand!

 

 

Reisbude - Rice Stand

 

On my way I found this dragon on Altewiekring 52A.

 

Wiek is  a historical term for a trading or market settlement. This obviously was a ring around such a centre.
AI goes on: 

The “Altewiek” urban district: Braunschweig emerged in the Middle Ages from  several formerly independent districts (known as “Weichbilder”). The oldest of these areas, surrounding the Magnikirche, is still called Altewiek (alte Wiek) today and serves as a direct reminder of the city’s historical origins as an early settlement on the Oker.

And who knows? Maybe Duke Henry the Lion after all did NOT kill, only injured the Dragon in South Africa and he is back now...? 

 

Reisbude may not seem to give credit, they serve Pad Thai, fresh sushi and refreshing homemade drinks (I did not stop). 

 

And maybe the dragon even throws a party?

 

 

 

 

The phrase “mit allem Drum und Dran” means “with everything that goes with it” or “complete, including all accessories and extras.”

Your turn to decide.

 

This is for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!

 Off to the eye-doc, wish me "luck"...

 

 

Cheer... Hups!

2015 we traveled Tuscany and amongst other visited Nonno Duilo and his family, see here if you like - "Nonno" means "Grandpa" - he was so happily doing his job - Italians treat their elders much better than we do and the wine was simply named after him!

 

Not being much of a wine-drinker, but if you have a good bottle you need something special to present it, right?

So with this I join... Nicole´s...

 

 

SITAR. We got it in Perth or Freo:

 

 

Now you can argue. Indigenous art, Aborigine art for... really, alcohol?!!! Are you nuts?!

I travel Australia since 1995, Ingo´s first tour was 1994.

We saw the worst, we saw the best.

Every country, it seems, has it´s dark sides, so does Australia.

And also... why not put a nice bottle of water in this?

Why not simply enjoy this wonderful art? Here is a close-up, I hope you enjoy:

 

 One of "Straya´s icon the roo...

 

 

Have a great Sunday, I´ll have a hot cuppa tea! For a smile join Gillena. Smile!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kiki Does Not Care!

 

 

Quite a fun one, huh?

And these cats say... 

 

And with these I join...

 Eileen! 

 

Henry 🦁

 

  Have a crittery Saturday!

 

 

FFO - Pull My Finger!

Let´s start with this innocent face to join Nicole´s...

And how about a smile?

And, last....

 

Have a great FFO!

Miss This - And To Being Nice

 

If I was rich and Ingo healthy... 

 

And this is true, too: 

On bitumen roads they make room for ya!! 

 

Our bus driver in Tuscany sometimes even went to the side so peeps could overtake... 

 

What would you do... hop in and off to freedom, to the wide, dusty, red land?

Sleep in the car, take a solar-shower wherever you are - sit on folding chairs and watch... yes watch the bright night sky?

No light-pollution, the Southern Cross... bliss!

This is "the other being rich"...   

 

One sad thing that happened to me:

Dongara. Neighbourhood-watch in the middle of the night saved us, knocking on our car-window asking us to follow them, flood was rushing in!! 

 

Next morno a huge road-train stood Right.Beside.Us!!!!!

The driver was out of his mind, losing so much money being stuck.

 

Why. Just why didn´t I take all my courage, offer an EMU (cold beer) and maaaaybe he´d showed me his truck and maybe he´d let me drive a few metres....

 

Do you have such missed opportunities, too?

A once-in-a-lifetime-miss?

 

If so: Next time: Grab the crab!! 

Henry 🦁

 

 To freedom...
