Animals And The Hype Is Gone



Ex-teamleader suggested to get a plant for the new pot from IKEA and so yesterday in sunny 25C I took off.
On foot. It´s some 4,9 km one way and google suggested it´ll take me one hour, two minutes.

After 49 minutes I arrived and I stopped quite often to take a pic, too, I´ll only show you a part of what I thought was worth to be taken a pic of.



Since just the other day a cyclist was dragged off his bike by three men, beaten up, crying for help without success on the way to lake Ölper I didn´t dare to take that sometimes lonely route and went by Hamburger Strasse. LOUD but peeps everywhere.

Not only peeps!



Ok, I admit. This fella likely wouldn´t be any help. Nor his bro on the other side:



This fella wouldn´t be right for fleeing:



And even if alive... moo shoos off no one, huh?



I took the big tour through IKEA but somehow.... what was so special about that place again?
I didn´t find any inspiring idea and bought only one thing, too:



It says nothing on if you can eat the fruit, though. And I really wonder how all those plants manage unter the artificial light there.

Had a bottle of water with me, pulse between 132 and 142, boy, I think I overdid it a bit, but those Nike-shoes run by themselves!
Really, never again cheap sneakers!!!

I was pretty red in the face when I was back, all in all just over 12 km, 215%, 18560 steps and 1759 kcal.

Are you an IKEA-fan?
If so... why?
I sure was and don´t know why anymore...

Sure colorful horse and cow..The tomb reminds me of "Grants Tomb" I wouldn't guess they still build those big tomb anymore.
Coffee is on

That looks like one of the cows at the Perth cow parade. I like the horse too.
I'm a big fan of Ikea and enjoy going there just to walk through the shop and get ideas, wishing I could change my furniture once in a while...

Dora the graveyard is very old :-)

Sami, yes, reminded me of Perth, too, the cow. I used to get inspired by IKEA, but this time it seemed to be thrown together randomly.
