Tis´N Tat


 Ohhh, I have a hard time letting go of this summer, as shit#y as it was.

 


 

On my way to the bakery I took the tour bypassing the first room I lived in here in Braunschweig. Flatsharing with two men, oh, my...


 
Why flatsharing? My first real job - they can kick you out in the first 6 months (they kept me for 17 years).

New boss, I got terminated as Volkswagen closed down my project due to the Diesel affair.

New shoes to apply for a new job.

 
Found these shoes at ALDI and at first I thought each shoe is €3. Nope the pair was €3!
 

Still haven´t gotten an answer from the company I applied at. Will have to re-learn to walk in those shoes anyways, sneaker-times since years now!

Well...

When the last ones leaves, huh.

Hello September, please do your best, weather- and whatever-wise!

Henry? 🦁 He knows....


So do I....

Summer is still here in my world. You can have it. I'm ready for cooler weather.

I would break my NECK if I tried to walk in those heels. Good luck wearing them and good luck for that new job. Henry looks really good, dear. Just don't fall down when you're carrying him, please (grin).

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, bring summer over, please, pretty please!
I´m trying to not break my neck with those shoes, LOL - "baby-steps"!
Well, I´ll ask come Monday if they had not received my application....

Those shoes look murderous.

Tom said...

...how can you walk in those shoes???

CJ Kennedy said...

I don't want Summer to end. I like the hot and humid weather. You don't have to wear a bulky coat and heat and humidity don't need to be shoveled.

RedPat said...

I'm not looking forward to winter. I think I have forgotten how to walk in such shoes! I do like the look of them though.

Iris Flavia said...

William & Tom, my Mum wore shoes worse than this!!

CJ - YES!!!!

RedPat, I hate winter (and those shoes!)....

Good luck with the job. It's terrible to be terminated after 17 years. Heart break.

Wow, drei Euro für ein Paar Schuhe! Das findet man hier nicht, und wenn, dann wär's wahrscheinlich der letzte Mist. Kannst du noch in so hohen Absätzen laufen? Ich schon lange nicht mehr. Teva Sandalen (oder barfuß) ist das, was ich im Sommer trage, auch zur Arbeit (wer achtet schon in einer High School library darauf, was wir tragen?). Ich erinnere mich, dass ich, als ich noch in Deutschland lebte, den Sommer immer sehr ungern gehen sah. Jetzt, wo ich in Nordkalifornien lebe, dauert der Sommer viel länger und meine Lieblingsjahreszeit ist der Herbst natürlich wegen der wundervollen Farben, aber auch weil ich weiß, dass ihm kein ewig langer Winter folgt.

Bill said...

Those shoes do look very uncomfortable. At least you won't be running in them. :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Gigi, yes, it was a shock. I will have to ... fight.

Die letzen Jahre war es allen auch egal, deswegen Sneakers und FlipFlops, eitel bin ich schon lange nicht mehr, aber zumn Bewerben muss man ... "man(n)"... ja "hübsch" tun.
Ja, auf einen schönen Herbst für dich und bald wieder tolles Wetter.
Bäh, ich muss versuchen, den Winter zu mögen...

Bill, who knows, if a dog goes after me I will have to run!

When I was young I would wear shoes like that, and now I would be afraid I would break my neck.
My lawn isn't green...

At Home In New Zealand said...

Long gone are my days of wearing shoes like that! :))

The Padre said...

Dear August, You Tired - Outstanding - Thank For The Old Stomping Grounds Photos - Be Well

Cheers

River said...

I think my feet would cry if I tried to wear shoes like that. Much too high for me. I've never worn high heels in my life.

Sami said...

3 Euros shoes? How cant hey afford to pay the people that make them? I'm a shoeaholic but try not to wear very high heels now unless it's for a short time or I will be sitting a lot.
We are getting a few warmer days, but today (Sunday) we had a windy and wet day.

Iris Flavia said...

Dora, same to both!!!

Margaret, wish I could say: yes! Ingo even doesn´t mind I´m so small!

____

Padre, you´re welcome... cheers!

____

River, I did. I felt too small. But with age I go... pfffft! I don´t care! But. New job...

Oh, Sami, there was a woman in history who had shoes, shoes, shoes, my flatmate called me jokingly once (!) by her name.
Lately (like 10+ years)... flat shoes. Worn out, same model. Getting old, LOL!
Well, reckon the shoes were by say €40 and they could not sell them so ALDI puts up a table and gets the prices down A.LOT!

Let's hope you still have a few more warm days Iris, fingers crossed 😉 oh my those heels are high, it's been quite a while since I wore them that high, I did not realise Aldi sold shoes ☺️

My name is Erika. said...

Your Aldi sells shoes? Wow. Not here. Strictly food.

Iris Flavia said...

Grace, yes, ALDI sells clothes here all the time! Most my PJs are from there, kid´s section 😁

Erika, really?! All weird stuff, shoes, clothes, toys, tools... pots, pans.... oh, and food.
