Before...



Before the whole craziness started, people roamed the city...



The shops were open...



... and we also went inside...



Here is the original:



With a little bit of luck... (old German Pfennig, before the wall fell)



...people come to their senses, stop doing this...



... and scientists find a solution, "luckily" get an idea how to get this madness under control and we can enjoy everything like we did before.



Speaking of pretty btw - bet he would be OK with me using that word... It´s finally April! :-)
And since it´s already April 2nd, no fool´s joke:



Grace not only got me this calendar, no, she certainly (... ;-)....) flipped right through and found Mr April standing right there, selling the calendar.
And certainly Grace made him!



Loads of smiles this month from my side and yes, it´s for a good cause, all the money went/goes to the Children hospital Perth!

Lion of the day:



Let´s soon be able to visit the real one, without fear of other people.
Normality.

Ja, die Welt hat sich sehr geändert, und wir müssen lernen momentan damit zurechtzukommen, und es ist nicht leicht. Aber ich bin trotzdem hoffnungsvoll dass bessere Zeiten und Klopapier bald wiederkehren werden. Dir einen schönen Tag, GlG, Valerie

Iris Flavia said...

Noch gut 22 Rollen hier ;-)
Ich hoffe, das ist nicht schlechtes Omen!! Ja, es muss doch vorangehen mal! Dir trotz allem auch einen schönen Tag und GlG, Iris

I also look forward to things returning to normal again. I want to go shopping!!! Keep smiling, Mxx

Haddock said...

Good to know that all the money went to the Children's hospital.

Iris Flavia said...

M, yes, I wonder if it´s "made panic" or real, but either way I want it to be over with! Ixx

Haddock, yes, and it´s a beautiful hospital (I got the last calendar there personally).

Sami said...

You are lucky cute Dave signed it for you :)
Beautiful pink blossoms, Spring is on it's way.
I like Rizzi House and it must have taken quite a while to do it in Lego.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, thanks to Grace, Sami :-)
And I agree, I´d bever ever had the patience to do Rizzi in Lego! And yay to spring, too!

Ella said...

I'm back! Are you happy? LOL
You have changed your profile picture! How nice!
It is indeed not easy ... the world has changed a lot and we have to learn to deal with it! I'm having a lot of trouble with it ... it's hard to accept!
I want to believe that better times will come soon but I am not so optimistic at the moment! I have a lot of trouble with this situation …
How are you doing with the toilet paper? LOL
I wish you a nice day with lots of sun!
A little BIG Hug! xoxo

My name is Erika. said...

What contrasting buildings. I think I like the old one-nothing like we have here. But who doesn't love lots of color? Stay safe Iris. I'm still looking for lion images but nothing yet. I guess lions in the woods of New Hampshire is just too unusual. Hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Ella :-)
Glad you´re back AND optimistic!!! I´m finally healthy again, I guess and started training, sooo good!
Sadly cloudy, but reckon we still have 22 or more TP here ;-)
To a soon end to this weirdness, a little BIG Hug! xoxo

Thank you for looking for Henry´s siblings!!! He says thanks big :-)
Yes, the inner city was not bombed in WWII, the rest was gone...
And I do love Happy houses - hugs to you!

Tom said...

...Heart of the city is gorgeous! Who is Dave? Take care my friend.

Iris Flavia said...

Dave is a firefighter from Perth :-)
They do a "sexy"-calendar every year to collect money for the Children´s Hospital Perth - there are also female firefighters in it.

Good for Grace for getting the autograph for you!

RedPat, yes, so cool!

Padre, thank you, we need love and positive thoughts!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Beautiful center of the city. The Rizzi is amazing. How many gazillion Legos were needed for it, I wonder. Dave is a real hunk!

I like your new avatar and today's lion, too.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, the heart of the city did not fall for the bombs as the rest of Braunschweig in WWII.
And I never ever had the patience to do the Lego-stuff!
Dave sure is cute, huh :-)

CJ Kennedy said...

Dave is very pretty. Hopefully, the world will return to normal and we can shop and find everything on the shelves we are looking for. And after shopping taking a walk around to look for lions. Take care.

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, I agree 100%! And if you like send the Lions over! :-)

Take care, too!

peppylady (Dora) said...

Most of what close our restaurant and bars. Pretty much everything else is open. Some time it amazing mostly grocery store in check out line how close people stand.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, some poeple just do not get it... it could be so easy...

Bill said...

Glad to hear the calender has raised funds for the childrens hospital.
The lion looks a little playful today. :)
Take care and enjoy your evening.

Iris Flavia said...

There are also female firefighters, Bill :-)
We need to be playful - a nice evening to you, take care.

Jeanie said...

Love the happy Rizzi house and today's lion! And Mr. April isn't bad, either!

River said...

I had a firefighter calendar once, but go tired of looking at so much muscle and never bought another one. I just give the money when they are selling them and go home without the calendar.

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, yes to all :-)

____

Oh, River ;-) Yes, it´s a tad much, but they are funny, kind and friendly - and... well. I do like looking at them.
But great you give the money anyways!!

PerthDailyPhoto said...

April at last! Must admit Dave was such a nice guy. Tres cute new profile shot Iris, enjoy the coming spring.. I'm enjoying autumn.. at last!

William Kendall said...

The lego is neat.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Grace, I imagine he was nice :-)
After all those people risk their lifes for us! They must have a reason.
Yay, Spring, I agree! :-)

William, yes, "fun" idea!
