To Incredible Teamwork

This WOW is for ...

 Eileen :-)

Henry 🦁 

Have a great Saturday!   

  

FFO With A Different "Face"

 

 

With this very scared "face" I join Nicole´s ...

 

11:50 my eye-OP is due. And I´ll be "awake". 

They likely do that every week and more than once. 

What if I have to puke or fall unconscious?

I´ve had weird, bad dreams all week. 

 

So - to Smiles and Laughter!!!! And thinking positive.

And yes. 

Despite actually they do this Mo-Wed I am here today.

My hope was: I have my work back and the weekend to recover.

No such luck. But maybe the doc is in a good mood thinking of weekend soon...

And I manage to cross streets one-eyed safely, haha.

 

 

 Very cold today.

 

 

 

 

And for Gillena´s I have this:

 

 

From the canteen near ESE. I was too nervous to eat, but I was there with two Mamas!

fE gave me a serviette and fK always has a plastic bag at hand - tadaa!

 

Henry 🦁 

 

 

I once needed plaster-lenses. Were too big.

Forgot to mention this - hope they have one for kids.
 

 

To Love

Ingo sent me the following.

Please... it´s with English subtitles... give it a go?

 

This wasn´t a song about victory but separation, loneliness but the hope of returning home - it´s melancholy troubled the Na#i propaganda and the song was played everywhere on all sides and later also in English. 

It was written by a male soldier. 

 

          

 

Yips.... SUMMER, happy times! We went to Münster.

 

Ingo asked a young man to take the pic of us and he published this online.

It says:

 

"this is the latern!" and...

 

"found a lost place.
auntie and uncle Iris & Ingo"

 

Well. Ingo served and... it was opposite my parent´s house. Another woman in a mini-skirt and Ingo turned around.

Last sec I grabbed him before he ran into the latern...
 

Please.. take neither  love, peace, freedom - ever for granted!

 

Henry 🦁... stayed home this time!    

 

  

Way Too Late

Saw this last Thursday on the way home from ESE.

200 events in over 70 places and I missed them all. 

Question also remains: Who does all this PROPERLY in one night?! 

 

I DO love "my" city but marketing... not their thing (could I do better? I even think so? Hm???)

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

 

 

T This Turbulent Week

... for Elizabeth´s T! 

The journal:

 

Monday:  Bro´s Birthday!!!

06:45 a.m. - BOOM - BOOM - BOOM. Yes. Good morning up there.

My parents did own the house we lived in. Their shop was underneath. At NO time was I allowed to stomp. 

fK called - Thursday meeting with teamlead. 

 

 

Tuesday: To REWE, main ring road. Huge sound. I turn around. A plane, left wing - off flies in my direction and crashes. Just a short look - I saw every detail and yelled RUN!!!! Then I was in "Hasenwinkel" where the main fire station is, to get help.

Moment later I was in my old hometown and ran up to my kid´s room. Saw Mom - I KNEW in that dream she had passed away in 2011.

She said, "you grow old fast if you keep dreaming such stuff", and laughed. "Come with me."

Store full of people and Mom of course gave a friendly "good morning", so did I and tried to sneak away. Mom shouted something at me.

And woke up. 

I.Am.Done.With-Those.Dreams. 

And yes. We do have an airport, a research airport. And a second one.

 

Wednesday: Went to REWE. "Real" cash-out, young man in front of me, everything placed ready, then his hand went up again, I watched - I mean.... there was a movement, right? He reached for the condoms, saw me and took... glasses-wipes. He wore no glasses. 

Try not to laugh!

And yes. At the cash-out you find sweets, condoms and schnapps. Go figure. 

 

 

Thursday: Grey, grey day. Took red polka-dot-Gurri and burning red sneakers and went to ESE for a meetup - they want me back, definitely. After lunch we stood in front of the building and... My luck. CEO#1 came by.

When he was new we had a winter BBQ on the balcony, he was working the grill and it started to rain.

Why ever I was the only one with a brolly. 

So, with Gurri I went outside and gave him said brolly. Violet with.... polka-dots. 

Well, fK said it´s good he likely remembered me - so YAY Gurri! Also fE said, oh, look, our lucky girl (German Glückspilz from red mushroom with white dots, the death cap mushroom). 

Sweet: Not only Ingo, also Bro asked how it went. 

 

  

Friday: Yes. Braunschweig is a big city. But tonight it seems everyone from Wolfsburg to Salzgitter was here as well to see or watch and listen to the Festival of Lights.

PACKED!!!!

And everybody let me film (in case you don´t know, I´m small). 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Two "ghosts", likely again with Mommy and Daddy - rang the bell. 

We didn´t open. 

When I was a kid the whole neigborhood, we went out without adults for Martinstag. We sang a song and got sweets  or, at Magneto, some magnet-based toys. Likely so we stop and go away quickly, LOL.

These days. Mommys (!!!) sell mulled wine and cookies and St. Martin is there in a red coat riding a pony. 

 

Sunday: I got "Haxe" and Ingo put it all away afterards, did the dishes! He didn´t want a "thank you".

Theme-Day: 

 

 Munchy: 

 

 Henry 🦁 is still enjoying his Latte!

 

 

HEnry Is All "E" (?)

 

Mural sent to me - with permission to publish - by dear friend fK on Saturday morno.

(@ Sami... you mobilize people!) 

 

Looks like Henry supports E-Cars. 

Do you, too?

 

I had a project with a colleague at ESE:

Company Fortescue in WA planned - we had a contract already, which then was never signed - to transport iron ore from the mines near Tom Price all the way "down" to Port Headland via Licium Batteries, empty - the batteries...

 

By arrivial, their dream, those batteries are fully charged and after onloading the freight ready to go "green" back up to Tom Price.

 

First try for help: a famous company in GB, who said "no".

 

mM and I did research and I said: no.

 

Ingo and I saw such a train for real in WA in 1999:

3km long - we had to wait, they go at ca. 30km/h - took forever.

My concerns: 

 

a) the energy to start a heavy train like that!!!

b) Pilbara: HOT - HOT - HOT!

c) on iron rails: more HOT

d) heat and batteries, one goes kaaaa-booom and in no time the whole set explodes.

 

Yes. At that "speed" the staff can stop the train and run away. 

In the desert.

What if that happens in Port Headland??? 

 

No one wants to be responsible for that. In Perth I - too late this February - spotted the company, but what to do anyways?

 

 

Maybe our host´s Hubby, who also was into railway - has an idea?

 

Wish of Fortescue: At least one has to be willing to pop by in person once in a while.

ME!!! mM not, but ME! So YES!

How has Tom Price changed since 1999??? I´d land in Perth, visit our friends and... oh!!!

Nope.

We were too convincing, the technology is not "ripe" yet.

 

WHAT DO YOU THINK???? 

 

Photographer of this wonderful mural, fK, is at ESE with ALSTOM and hopefully I join ESE soon again, also thanks big to her.

It would be a project in... brrrrr ... Norway! An old German train, refurbished and back on track.

Have done this before - FUN! Interesting, engineering art!

Please.. wish me luck! 

 

This is for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

 

Henry 🦁.. still thinking E-stuff over!

 

Next Sunday hopefully more from BS Energy - The City of Lights-project! 

 

And... Isn´t that a wonderful mural? 

  

 

Clapsticks, Anyone?

 

 

One more item we got in our "second home". For Nicole´s...

 

 

 

These are - as Wiki describes: "Clapsticks, also spelt clap sticks and also known as bilma, bimli, clappers, musicstick or just stick, are a traditional Australian Aboriginal instrument. They serve to maintain rhythm in voice chants, often as part of an Aboriginal ceremony."

 

They sound great, but we cannot "play" them, here is a detail:

 

 

That lizard is also called blue-tongued skink, as wiki explains here.

 

We met one:

  

 

Ingo stopped the car to get the guy off the road - I grabbed the cam...

 

Here is one from Wiki:

 

 Dude didn´t understand and thought it´s NOT FUNNY!!!, showing us the tongue!

 

I am horribly tired since days and hope I don´t come down with a flu or such so just this. 

I hope to show you the outcome from Friday next time! 

Now... listen and smile with Gillena:

 

 

And welcome November:

 

 

From Adelaide - thanks to River! - back home:

 

Hihi, see, if you like, post tomorrow!... And to Perth/Freo:

 

Henry 🦁

 

Happy Sunday!
