FFO BEEEEEP

 
We lived at Ingo´s Granma´s place.
a) when I went online it took forever
b) Granma heard it
c) Granma thought it´s illegal
d) Granma could not use the phone!!!
I sometimes needed to go online for advice. I was programming a game to prove I can do that  to companies I wanted to apply at.
Of course Grandma always "caught" me testing my program, not programming and hence claimed I "play on the computer".
She was a lovely lady but these were tough moments!
 
These days you just "stream" and can use your phone at the same time.
 

 I swear she looked the same always!!
 
With these I join Nicole´s ...
 

For Gillena:
 
 

 
And to make you laugh real hard - pick up!!! It´s Friday!
 

 The next one had me in tears... of laughter! Even my big Niece, soon 16, knew at age 2 what and how!!!

Some FB-funnies:

Moi?!

 
Even if French - give it a go, it´s too funny! 
    And remember... you can chose subtitles in your language. 
Apart from the farting scenes this is one of my favs by Louis de Funès from the film "Jo" - he was such a clever man and had no humor at all (they said). 
 
My Brother gave me the whole set of the movies but my French isn´t good enough anymore - I watched them in German. 
Cause subtitles do not work when you still speak a bit French. My brain cannot decide: Listen or read. Here (in German) the farting scenes from "La soupe aux choux": 
 

 And then THIS happened!

It´s a very clever movie after all - about getting old and losing your home (nearly). About love, letting go and friendship.

I wish my French was still better.

Stay Cool


Well, that day was on June 11th - but Summer only came last week - on Wednesday.
Since then it is at least warm - my "flowers" ....  grow but no blooms yet, it was just too cold.
Crazy when all around countries are on fire due to the heat.
At least that way German firefighters can go there and help, I am happy they do. 
 
Though...  from the Netherlands fire is spreading  over here, too (far away from where we are). 
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2.

Oh, can´t it be like this always?
Roaming around barefoot in t-shirt and mini-skirt, or shorts for you boys out there, or whatever you like!

T This Finally Summerly Week


Hihi, I sure could not resist this drink, River! If it wasn´t so darn expensive I´d send one over - I got this at ALDI - maybe yours has it, too?
This is for Elizabeth´s T
 
The journal:
 

Monday: Another too cold day! But  it looks good from tomorrow on! Always stay positive, right?!
Now Italy is "on fire", too. France, Spain.... I wonder why people do not take precautions? 
 
 
Tuesday: fK thinks the same as Ingo - wait for mK - do not go for that job at B.
The sicko who killed people at the CSD in Berlin was known as "high risk person" since 2019. Of course we will skip this event here in Braunschweig.  Sad.
Portugal is added to the list of fire whilst here.... too cold. 



Wednesday: 29C / 84F and getting warmer.... yippeeeeeeee.... 32C / 89F expected!!!!
Hello Summer!!! 🌞☀️
Ingo:  "There is a FAT fly in here!!!" - we have a fly squat in the shape of a frog and a second later I heard BOOM. "The frog did the job." (well it was Ingo)
Later sparkling wine on the balcony! SUMMER!!!! 
 

Thursday:  34C and rising!!! 
Near to a heart attack. Door bell. I click the opener for the main door, open ours and the really tall mail man stands RIGHT in front of me as if grown from earth. And grins. Don´t do that!!! I wished him a happy day. Two parcels for Ingo.
And... let me show you - do not cry:
 

A DIN A 4 delivery in a huge parcel. Ingo grins rather like a maniac! 
fK - despite on holidays - called mK and then me. mK is SURE he´ll get me back.
And.... since a fellow blogger told me a torn muscle takes a while to heal I am actually happy about the longer break.
Ingo is OK with this, too. 
Greece, Turkey... on fire. 
Mini-sparkling wine on the balcony! SUMMER!!!!  
 
 
Friday: LOL, now I know why delivery-service takes so long! Deliverer mM told where he was on holiday (Thailand) and that his phone is dead due to the heat! We chatted some 10 minutes - but that´s how it should be, huh? He was happy about the 5er, too. Glad there are services like that available!
What the heck did we do pre-internet, pre-services like that?!
Remember that? Oh, wait, we hopped on our bikes and hung out with friends, our parents had no clue where we were! And it didn´t matter!
What´s better in your eyes? 
 
 
Weekend: Saturday: Another "night on the balcony with shared mini-sparkling-wine"! And Esrom. Stinky cheese, but YUM!
Night: Ingo snoring! See next! 

Sunday: "I know - I woke up from the snoring  - I dreamed of Friedrich Merz!" (our "Chancellor") - I think I would rather yell! Brrrr.....

 And isn´t this too cute (no ad, just sharing):

Have a happy T-Day!

Greetings From Ingo

 
Ingo found this Beauty when he went on foot to get his car from the garage -  artist T. Mertinke, Tamara, a self-taught artist here in Braunschweig.  
Our host sure reminds our partners to mural-hunt!

 Have a great Monday!

In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle...

 
 
OK, this is not my art room but one of our Shopping Centers... But in this sh#tty Summer they give their best to cheer us up and I hope this qualifies for Nicole´s...

If this made you smile join Gillena!

 


 Of course the Lion does NOT sleep!

I mean.... Henry 🦁

 


 Have a great Sunday (and if here: Summer-Sunday!).
