(The World Is) Red And Green Again

For now the temps are "hot" for November, around 12C, and sorry if you got an earworm and yes, as a kid I was a lille rebel, liking Billy Idol... to my Dad´s big dismay.
Even though before I went for The Sexpistols - don´t lie to your kid and say there is nothing else but classical music.
They will find out and will feel lied at...

THIS beauty I got from the market, though, YUM! 
Much better than flowers, right?
And beautiful!

 
These colors, red and green, seem to be everywhere - same in your neck of the woods?
I found a new color-love, though, D'OH! 
Not red, not green...


This lady sure braved up in the - last Saturday - cold temps.
I pretended to take a pic of the tree waaay behind her, yet she looked and kinda "destroyed" the pic.
Hehe, I remember when in 2015 a French guy from Royal de Luxe lit a ciggi in Perth CBD and locals told him off AT ONCE!
Perth CBD is smoke free, I like that a lot.

Well, ...


In case you wondered why I titled the lady "part I"... here is the whole truth, a truth sadly not only thanks to "Corinna" - it looks since ages often like this in the city  (and throughout):


Either not enough staff to collect the rubbish or we simply have to many one-way-throw-away stuff available. 
The icky doves love it and ... eeeek.
 
And yes. Actually masks are mandatory also outside and social distancing... at least the strangers don´t face each other. Not enough staff to control dumbheads.

Henry 🦁 - he cares for the real thing!
 

 I think deep inside he likes a tomato once in a while, too!
And don´t cats eat grass at times, also?
And don´t we need happy colors right now?
 
What are yours (a post will come up with my new color-love... in a while).

  10. Beautiful green bike and very brave of the lady to dress up in red from top to toe :)
    Very sad about the full rubbish bin, actually just this past weekend Karina mentioned to us that she expected Cologne to be cleaner as she's found a lot of full bins when walking around, and Jose was telling her how on Saturdays when we went to the city centre in Braunschweig, just after the shops closed a cleaning crew and little bin vehicles would go around he city emptying bins and streets.

  11. Jeanie, true, Christmas is on the way....

    ____

    Sami, yes, those days of cleaning crews have been reduced a lot, it seems.
    Last time I was in Cologne it was still clean, but that´s at least 7 years ago...

    Yes, that lady, wonder how many took a pic of her - or do people run around with closed eyes?

  13. I love the brightness of red and green. Mr. M. is color blind and doesn't see these colors. Red is black to him and green is brown. Sometimes his clothing is all crazy. LOL enjoy your day.

  23. Sorry I'm late visiting today. This is one colorful post. Yes, cats eat grass and they especially like it when they have upset stomachs.

  24. I remember when I was very young, my sister and I had identical swimsuits every year, with different colour trims, she always chose the red, so I always got the green.
    My happy colours are the tropical shades, the aquas, the teals, turquoise, the melon pinks, yellows and of course I love gold.
