TGIF (It´s Friday Again!)



I had the choice: Carry 20 rolls of plain TP or 10 of these arty ones.
So I go with Tom, ALOHA! :-)

And yes, that´s our toilet paper-holder/spender...
Did you have such a camera? (for real?)



Thanks to "Corinna" we did not visit the (cold, dirty German) ocean, so these loo-ticket-messages kinda cheer us up, no?



But!!!



Irony, huh. The plumber has been at the condo in Bad Harzburg FOUR times and it´s still clogged (see last post).
Four darn times.
And I present you:

Funny/arty/hope-making Toilet Paper!

In these days we just NEED HUMOUR, right!

Henry??? He is fed up and...



Crazy times, do you have fun TP, too at least?

Btw... it was interesting and also reassuring to read in the comments that some of you think the same: It´s not fun to be a "landlord".

And to make another thing a tad more transparent: Ingo went to the nasty lady once, it was no repair, just an update (she wanted to use less water when going for a pee only), the rest was always done by professionals.

My Bro and I (and Big Niece) only did the floor and wallpaper and that we did a lot of times and are good at (OK, I´m just the helping hand)...

ALOHA, to a great weekend you all, we might even hit the 30C´s!!!! Yayyy (Sorry, Bill, it might swap over to you, you´re too close ;-)...)

I love the cheerful toilet paper :)
Mine is always plain white.

20 rolls to carry for 2 km... no way, again (though... I got news one. 20 rolls, but it was just about 1 km and it´s maritime - who can resist that?!)
We usually have plain white but there is always some fun pattern on it!

Tom said...

...Iris, always go with the fancy, Aloha Tom!

Iris Flavia said...

Aloha :-)

Oh dear! That toilet paper holder!!! OMG Iris that is super cute! And I really love the prints on the toilet paper. Here in the Philippines, Toilet paper was never a problem in this pandemic unlike in other countries like the US where my brother said they did have shortages. I guess it's because Filipinos don;t use toilet papers when using the toilet because we use a Tabo. A Tabo is a plastic dipper where we fill that up with water and use that to thoroughly clean our behinds. Okay Im being too visual huh HAHAHAHA

Dearest Iris, I am so so so amazed with your entry to Timeless Thursdays! I very much enjoy the screenshots you shred of the treasure video! And you as a princess is just super precious!!! Hugs for the weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

Dear Stevenson :-)
I looked up Tabo and it reminds me of toilets we used in Egypt.
At Ingo´s Grandma, where we lived for a long time, we had a bidet - I miss that! Much more clever to use water but paper!
And you just made Ingo to look up again for a combo for the toilet (funny enough, we talked about right that the other week!)

Yes. I bet you never saw a "princess" that mad! ;-)
Hugs from here and to a great weekend, even if you still have to be careful (we are, too).

Stevenson said...

Hahahaha bidets are also used here especially nowadays, whenever we go to malls and restaurants and we see bidets on their toilets, the delight in our hearts are multiplied to 15x hahaha Oh I hope you guys can see a combo for the toilet haha!

Yes! But madly cute at the same time!!! Sending you hugs too dearest Iris!

PS The past two weekends, I was so happy to be at my cousin's house on both weekends. I always remember what you told me to go outside as much as I can but safely and it really really did help my anxiety so much (With masks of course) ! I still have them but at least it has diminished compared to before, thanks to your advise. (and to my younger cousins who fetch and drop their big brother because their big brother doesn't know how to drive HAHA)

Oh my gosh Iris, you know how to make me smile.. only you could have a camera toilet paper holder 😁 My toilet paper is very plain white BUT.. it is made from bamboo not trees, it's just one of my save the trees efforts 🌲

My name is Erika. said...

For me that would be a tough TP decision. Be stocked up for quite some time or have those really fun quotes. Hmm. How does that TP holder work as I assume it is an old camera. Or maybe not. Aloha!

Jeanie said...

Happy weekend, Iris. That is delightful toilet paper! It's almost too pretty to use!

Iris Flavia said...

Dear Stevenson, Im so glad I could help a wee bit - yes, get out and about :-)
Safely. You NEED some fun, we all do!

We´re sadly lightyears away from bidets in supermarkets!!
Nice subject, btw ;-)

And... be happy to say you cannot drive. What for? If you can do without, big brother, yay!

____

Grace, luckily it´s not a real camera, huh?! ;-)
And, see... Bamboo... in 5 years over here, maybe! Good choice!

____

Erika, it´s a real TP-holder :-) I would never misuse such a treasure!
Well, when you´re on foot for 2km it´s an easy decision between 10 or 20 rolls (though... post to come on 20, but 1 km only)...

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, YES. It´s a waste in two ways! A happy weekend to you, also!

Sami said...

Interesting toilet paper Iris :)
That's fabulous that the weather has improved, enjoy it and have a nice weekend.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Sami, BBQ-stuff will be bought :-)

William Kendall said...

I have no idea where such toilet paper would be sold here.

gigi-hawaii said...

Aloha from Hawaii.

Iris Flavia said...

William you get it from time to time in various shops (stupid, but fun).

____

gigi, Aloha from Germany :-)

Bill said...

No artsy tp here but we do have many kinds of scented tp. Smelling it makes me sick, it much too perfumy. Raining here and a cool 16C. We never reach in to the 30s and if we did many people wouldn't like it. Way too hot.
Enjoy the night, Iris.

magiceye said...

Toilet ideas! Great concept! We wash up. Save paper! :)

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I was in awe of that toilet paper, Iris. I was even MORE in awe of the camera holder. It's really clever and the toilet paper was the icing on the cake (so to speak).

Iris Flavia said...

Bill, one Christmas there was tp with cinnamon scent, yum!!! Oh, and rendeers as motive :_)

____

magiceye, yes, I agree, water is better, but we don´t have a bidet... (yet - we once had).

____

Elizabeth, now I´ll have to think of cake in there ;-)
