A Cuppa, Anyone?



Last pics of the White Horse SC.



Cold like Autumn, tea sure is welcome, I just nearly blew away in the wind!
Summer, where are you???

As you, summer, these days are gone:



You don´t even need a trolley no more to go grocery shopping - but I do.
Even if I need but one item.
Am I that afraid of Corinna?

No, not really.
But I ALWAYS hate when strangers come close, especially at check-outs and having a trolley I can make them stop by having the cart behind me :-)

Do you hate it, too, when strangers crawl up your neck in hope the cash out gets faster?

Henry?

He thinks of...



This is for "Tom´s "Signs 2".

Totally un-political. Also because here in Germany we live behind a rock...
With a cuppa...

P.S. ... now blogger says the new version will be up in July. Guess I really still have the old one, how about you?

The lady inside the teapot is weird, but I like the Tee sign.
Blogger is changing for you too it appears. I had no warning, one day I changed the background and there it was, no more going back. I'm still struggling with a few things in the new blogger.

Iris Flavia said...

Huh??? Here it says you can always return to the old blogger-version.
Are you in HTML-mode?
I feel weird like the teapot-lady ;-)

Tom said...

...I hate going in stores, we have things delivered or do curbside pickup!!! Thanks Iris for stopping by, take care.

I really dislike people getting too close behind me at the check-out. I've even had those who put their groceries on the conveyor belt while I am still unloading my own trolley. They are so annoying!
I've been using the new blogger for several weeks now. You get used to it.

Bertiebo said...

Oh Iris, thanks for the idea of putting the cart behind you. I'll remember that when I go shopping. I am afraid and very careful. Did not do any shopping yet, have everything delivered.

Love the lady in the teapot, it would be me if it was a coffee pot 😊 I'm still old blogger Iris and absolutely hope I can stay that way, I hate change when it comes to technology 😱

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, reckon your way is rather expensive here, sadly...

Margaret, yes, what are those people thinking, or is there but some music in their heads playing a trumpet?
I´ll see what blogger´ll do. Free tool, we have to accept it anyways.

____

Bertiebo, you´re welcome - Corinna has one good thing at least, huh!

Grace, maybe next year it´ll be coffee as theme, I´ll keep my eyes open.
Blogger seems to be unable to decide - Sami says there is no turning back, German version says old one will be available.
Let´s see, surprise! ;-)

Fine series of signs. Your first image brought to mind the song, "I'm a little tea pot, pour me out..."

Bill said...

Good idea on the trolley, we always use a trolley when getting groceries. People here keep their distance so it's not really an issue with us. Still using old blogger here but I did try the new version and I don't care for it. I'm just going to use the current version until they take it away. Another crappy weather day, you see lots of people wearing their heavy coats. It's crazy! Have a good evening, Iris.

Anonymous said...

Yes, it does bother me when people get too close. I guess they haven't figured out that their wait will be exactly the same -lol. Eileen xx

Iris Flavia said...

gigi, lucky you! (or... are you? Last time Hubby brought me chashews. I don´t like cashews. We´re together 25+ years!).

____

Taken For Granted - hmmm...I think I heard that once or twice, sometimes I´m glad being German ;-)

____

Oh, Bill, wow, people in your area must be intelligent then - sadly not the case here. Go NEAR, check out will get faster...
Yep, I´m with you, I wait what blogger´ll come up with and handle it!
A "cool" evening to you! Brrrr... Winter PJs are on.

____

Eileen, exactly! And who knows. Even if they are healthy... NO. Ingo can´t get near enought, friends can come close too, but strangers...
Nice to learn I am not alone in this "stupid dilemma" xx!

Sorry you still don't have warm summer. I wish I could send you some of the steamy weather we have. Not my favorite. And I like the lady in the teapot. She is a little weird but fun.

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, thank you, I gave up. Wish I was at least fun, a bit ;-)

That's a good idea with the trolley …
Lets hope your weather gets a little better soon.

All the best Jan

I love the images here, Iris. I wonder if iced tea is as popular in Europe in summer as it is here. We see a lot of it about -- and in fact, I might make a pitcher of it today!
