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:

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!!

 To freedom...

Now, you pass Henry and then you see hair her.

Since 2018 she offers to cut your hair in her salon:

 

 

As you maybe know I cut Ingo´s hair and he mine and our host was so kind to let me use his sign so you find our salon (yes, ok, it´s in the kitchen...).

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

  You need a haircut today?

 

T This Ordinary Week

Well, nearly like the flowers - this had CO2, which I - or the flowers don´t need but with which I join Elizabeth´s T.

The journal:

 

Monday:  Should´ve taken the step-counter today! Was at the hospital, talked to the chief physician - after I finally, finally found him! Very nice man. Said, they checked EVERYTHING!!!

Amongst other I have varicose veins. In my esophagus... Meds not correct in dose, one even missing.

That´s what too much trouble can cause.

Called "my doc" for the receipt - on holiday. Subsitute at the end of the world and I have to come back tomorrow.

Brought some books to the students. A warm day! 

 

 

Tuesday: Dentist (female). "Wow, you look great! Do you wear makeup?"

She knows me since 20 years and ...no. Was tempted to answer, "didn´t even take a shower" ;-)

Took pics of all the things I wanna get rid of - ALBA has such a place, where you can give it away for free - wish me luck.

Bought 3 BS-books - so-called proof-copies, hence much cheaper! 

 

--- bought a cool astronaut that shows you the night-skies on the ceiling. Parts missing, clearly used -4** 

* cash-out woman took it back without a look - hello?!

* had step-counter with me: 13655 steps (counted - add some more I did just like that)

* found many murals and signs 

 

 

Wednesday: Went to Fielmann with my bad sight. Nice, very competent, modern. Sent me back to eye-doctor... met fC - also a Fielmann-person.

On foot: 15 minutes. To my Bro via public transport: 1 1/2 - 2 hours! 

Met fH - we´re all getting old, LOL! 

 

Thursday:   Eye-doctor. Opening hours 07:30-06:00. 

07:35: you call off hours. Huh?! TU, gave books away then Dentist

Met W - he has no joy in life anymore. He´s 87. I worry. Warm, Autumn rain. 

 

Friday: Decluttering, putting it all online as give-aways, first interests already there.

 

Weekend: Saturday: Watched "Barefoot to the Neck" - after all it´s German Unity Day!

Even here "in the West" we have a nudist camp where Ingo took me to (not my thing, though).

Give the movie a go - it is hilarious!!!

 

The plot: "A  nudist site in eastern Germany is sold to Dieter Lohe, a conservative textile manufacturer from Bavaria. He visits his new property with his daughter Natalie, and plans to use the property as a hunting ground. For fear of losing their tenancy agreement, the members of the association adjust to Lohe's presence by walking around dressed. Jakob Steiner, the son of the club's leader, doesn't accept the nudist family tradition and because of this argues with his father. Jacob becomes close friends with Lohe's daughter. Lohe eventually gets wise to the clothed nudists, and after a few complications all of the parties involved come to an arrangement." (wiki)

Sunday: Lazy day, bit decluttering.

Nights are still bad, itchy and way too hot, awake all the time. Ingo sleeps on the sofa. How long still.

 

** new project: "rewire your brain": 1 bad thing happened -> find 3 good ones
