Three Minutes (She´ll "Hate" Me)



So I went to the second Bier-Festival Braunschweig, where even Budda sells beer!

I love how the woman in the following pic gives me a huge smile!



Beer from all over the world you could get, also from SA:



Certainly Klaus Störtebeker was there as well:



Braunschweig is a capital city after all - I met no one I knew.
So you could say, hey, good on ya, that´s a cheap visit, then, cause by oneself it isn´t fun - especially not with all those wasps around.

But then I went to Tiger - I had all the time, no one dragging me around :-)



You have to be realistic, no?
Winter will come.
At least I´ll have a nice fireplace now.
And, amongst other nice stuff, two sandglasses, one for Niece. You´re supposed to brush your teeth for three minutes. I got one for myself, by golly, three minutes is really long, Niece´ll hate me!

It all will go to her Advent-caledar.
Advent, btw.... yesterday I saw it: Christmas sweets in the grocery store :-(
It´s not even September, 25C, sunny. (off to the balcony when I´m done!)



Next station was... Graff, the most dangerous place around!
I ordered a book for Bro´s Birthday and had a look around, silly-me!



"How long (do I have to wait)", that´s 50 cards with ideas what to do while you wait at the cash-out, at the doc, in a restaurant. Nice idea. Age 8+, that I saw at home. Now Niece easily solved puzzles 5+ when she just turned 4, but this really is for kids who can write.
Bummer. Stupid Auntie-me!

"A Sreet Cat Named Bob" really is in the original language - a rare piece in Germany!
"Ocean King" is a report by a guy from France who works on a cruise liner, bet it´s quite interesting, too (thankfully not in the original language ;-)...)!
"The way to luck" is from a woman who traveled 13 countries, talked to scientists, psychologists who do research on luck, From Australia to Panama (the land, that smells of bananas).
"The truth about Braunscheig" - I started with that, and was deeply disappointed. So far two guys who obviously don´t like living here. I put it away and start with the book on luck!

Ingo hates that I got so "dependent" with the years.
13 years we had a weekend-relationship and I was just forced to do stuff myself, but since we live together I left it all to Ingo.
I have especially problems with heat.

But I do learn - again and anew.
I made fire, so to say.



Me, huh?
Am I glad we don´t live 5th floor!

The corn, well.... the corn. Did not only fall to the ground, no, it fell off the balcony!!!!

Picture that!
Me, jumping off - gaaaah, too late!
Shoot!
With the tong in hand, putting the sausage to the side, running to the kitchen, grabbing the keys, running down the stairs, unlocking the garden door, running around the house, grabbing the hot corn, running back, corn in tong... I just had to laugh about myself!

And it goes even further!
I killed my first wasp!!!



Electricity.... bliss!

It´s not OK how Ingo forces me, yet he is right.
I can do more, and I will (again).

It's good to be independent, I have a friend who depends so much on her husband, she didn't even take her driver's licence and he is 10 years older than she is, I think if one day he dies ahead of her she won't know how to do anything.

I love books about cats, I read "Dewey the library cat" and it was such a beautiful and emotional story...
Ocean King sounds wonderful, all the gossip about the passengers and crew I bet!

The corn fell over the balcony???? How did that happen :) A little bit more independence each day and you'll be right Iris.
