The Eagle... Ummm... The Lion (!) Has Landed
Packstation gave me another hello!
Especially in these dark days that November gives us here in the Northern hemisphere it is beautiful to get surprises - not because it´s your Birthday, not because it´s Christmas but because someone just wants to say, "hey, for you! Just like that"!
This time it was from Valerie, and boy!!!
It was "a Lion", actually more than one, but one I always thought was a Braunschweig one as we buy this all the time (in tubes).
Sadly I didn´t have my cam at hand when I said that because this time Ingo did give me THE LOOK indeed!
On the glass it does not say "Düsseldorf", either, but certainly we always go for a taste-adventure ("Geschmacks-Abenteuer")!
I cannot tell you how often I went past this, doing laundry, getting bread...
This is right above the door to the green chamber!
In my defense... as said, we get it in tubes. And you can get it in a glass like that, too, but we do not have this beautiful pottery!!!
Laugh, cry or just get invisible? LOL.
It´s beautiful and whilst grinning in delight, passing the hall to the living room via sexy firemen and-women, I´ll have to grin doing laundry and stuff, now, too! :-)
Thank you, Valerie and Grace!
This was not all I found, though!
Valerie thinks, obviously, well, the Brother is an Optometrist, she must be able to find it all (felt like being on an Easter hunt :-) !)!
I give - also as Lion of the day a... well.
It´s a beautiful piece of art and my interpretation is: The cat died and came back as a bigger cat, a Lion!
You don´t think so?
Pin, a Lion for sure!
And no, I´m not stupid, I didn´t mess up with that little man there, either!
It´s the Düsseldorf's cartwheeler. Beautiful interpretations on this one, and... when did you do your last one? Mine is 40 years in the past!
Thanks to you, dear (online) friends, you made my days!
See You on T-day in two weeks for more!

I want to thank you for stopping by yesterday. Nothing is broken, but I’m so sore I can’t sit and type with one hand for any length of time. I am sending this generic message because I want you to know I stopped by, appreciate you, and read your post today. Thanks for understanding.
Oh, Elizabeth! Thank you. Have you tried Voltaren forte?
I wish you well very soon!
Glad your little gifts arrived safely. May the Lion of Düsseldorf watch over you in Braunschweig! And perhaps you can start practising your cartwheels again! Have a great Saturday, Valerie (Diesmal in Englisch geschrieben, bin noch nicht ganz wach!)
LOL, Valerie :-) Jetzt weiß ich nicht. Haha. I understand!
Nein, cartwheels... and now I really don´t have the German name for that! - werde ich nicht mehr machen -> Krankenhaus!
Aber den Senf werden wir in das hübsche Gefäß umfüllen, wenn die Grillzeit kommt! Ich wünsche dir einen tollen Samstag, grau hier, aber wir machen das Beste draus :-) GlG, Iris
The onset of the joyous season!
...what a bunch of Lions!!!
Magiceye, I think this was off-season ;-)

Tom, YES!
Mustard is an amazing condiment -- it's almost as widespread in diverse ethnic cuisines as garlic! There are American, French (several types), German, and Chinese mustard flavors. And no doubt more. What a nice surprise.
best.... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Yes, we sure do love mustard - pickled eggs NEED seeds of mustard , too :-)
Amongst a lot of other yum.
Aren't surprise packages the best? I love them! That was so thoughtful of Valerie. And I love the "lion." In the heart of every cat is the soul of a lion. What a happy post!
Jeanie, yes to all and... so my cat-interpretation makes a bit of sense :-)
A lot of lions today!
Germany, right? ;-)
Always nice to receive surprise packages :)
All the best Jan
Oh how fab is that Iris, two surprises so close together.. your postie is doing alright 😉😁
So glad someone made your day. Lion mustard does sound interesting.
Coffee is on
Jan, so true! Brings a little light in here!

Dora, yes, I run around here smiling :-)
