Sunday I watched Löwenzahn and learned a lot about donkeys.
They for example help anxious, jumpy horses to calm down! And in deserts they lead the camels as they remember the way much better.
Maybe you knew, I did not.
I think I need a donkey! I´m jumpy, anxious and get lost easily.
(I still want a cat, too).
Last job offer: "Polier" / foreman.
I am 1,58m (small) - do you think some construction worker would take my orders?!
I´m a woman, too.
Didn´t know if to laugh or cry.
I laughed. Not in a funny way, though, but I laughed.
Scary. Do these search-engines check your life-data / resume (I come from architecture).
Got a "NO" from the company I applied for. The Man I spoke with said he comes back to me "end of the week" and I dunno, is the following Monday the end of the week.
For me it now is. And it was the secretary, not him.
My week:
Friendly talk at the bakery again.
Lille Niece called me to thank me for her school-start-pressies, but owww, KABOOM with Bro.
Wed... SUN was out, reading outside, yipeee!!!
Thursday I sewed again.
See. We had no summer. Hence summer-clothes were CHEAP.
Gurri-skirts for €1,99.
Which size to take, 36 or 38? (why is there no 37???)
In Corinna-times (or ever) you don´t wanna go in the stinky cabins and try and for that price I took them both.
Shortened the 36 and a made this of the bigger one, I SIT on it right now!
Got my cellphone-bill. Not.
"Sorry, we can only charge you from €1 on, but you made but € 0,51 this month." - LOL
Finished a book about the last 50 years of "things" and started a new one - on.the.balcony!!!!
Friday I continued this and Ingo bought food from a restaurant - it was awful and shot me into a nightmare days later (when it was clear he was safe)!
This was for ONE person, too!!!
Fri.. book-reading in the most beautiful rain.
Sat Ingo made yummiest Soljanka again...
Sunday Die Maus and a nice fairy tale. Oh, my life is so exciting.
Art-wise I got this:
Does this count as art? It´s hanging on the door now:
To join Elizabeth´s "T Stands For Tuesday"...
I´m afraid summer is really over, the one that never really was over here.
Henry 🦁
Autumn?" Good night....
Addendum: Have you seen Spyder´s beautiful tree?
When I was 5 I called my Mum and asked if I may paint a tree. "Sure", she said.
Didn´t mention I was to paint it on my wall.
Punishment: It had to stay there till I was 14, awful and embarrassing. It was a plum-tree.

I love that last photo of the sleeping kittens. I was going to write more, but had to answer a knock at the door and forgot what I was going to say.
LOL, I know what you mean. How often do I want to do something and the moment I´m out of the room the thought is gone.
Hmmm, yes, wish those cats were mine...
Love the chair cushion cover made from a skirt! My Nana used to go to rummage sales and buy stuff like clothes and curtains and turn them into other things. Drapes became upholstery for chairs and sofas, clothing was turned into aprons and scraps used in patchwork blankets and Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls that she made for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had 8 kids, so had plenty of their offspring to sew for. :-)
...I often see donkeys in a field with horses. Sorry to hear about about the job. When you buy fabric you must know the red section well. Cute trio! Take care and stay well.
Donkeys are also good at keeping cattle calm.
Shari, wow. Sadly you should not look on the back of this Gurri.
Dunno, I made one for Ingo (Pirates, of course) and it took me ages. Mine... hmmm, well. I sewed (beginner).

Tom, yes, new application is on the way. Never give up, huh.
Would love to see a donkey!

William, donkeys are cute! I once even rode on one.
I think we could all use a donkey to keep us calm and not get lost along the way. The little pillow is so cute and all that food would mean no cooking for a day or two. Fine by me! Oooh, a label maker. How fun. Henry's little cousins are adorable. Happy T Day
LOL, little pillow? It takes my... Popo!!!!
I never do that, but I threw the food in the bin. It was awful. They´re even too dumb to make a coleslaw-salad.
Now what to label...? Ideas are welcome!
Nice post Iris. I had a Henry cousin a few years back, and I named him Leo after Henry's scientific name, Felis leo. Oh I miss him....frowny face. He was my shadow. And I get about the job offer. You beat me height wise by about 2 cm, and I don't think any construction worker would listen to me either. They'd probably call me the b word instead. But think positive. It was a job offer, even if its not one you would take. And hurrah for the label maker. Aren't the fun? I didn't know that about donkeys, but they are very cute. I hope you are having a wonderful T day. Hugs-Erika
Sounds like you had a full week, Iris. Love your cushion cover - so cheerful. The drink looks intesting! Another fun journal spread.
I had two donkeys a few years back - they were super friendly and let me rub their ears. I got very attached to them and then, someone stold them. Can you believe that? They left the cows and horses. Ee could see their tire tracks in the back, but never could figure out who did it.
Hoping your next take out is better! Hoping your next job opportunity is better too.
Happy T-day!
Yes, oh, sorry you have lost your Leo!
2cm ;-)
They´d for shure throw us out if we said, hey, job not well done!
I have no idea what to label now, though!
Hugs to you :-)

Nancy, owwww, you had donkeys for real? How cute! Who steels animals, that is cruel.
Just applied - it was a catastrophe to get through the form...
But thank you, I try to see the positive side, it´s a chance.
I agree why do they put so much food in those take out containers. I usually end up throwing it out too.
What's wrong with the cabins for trying on clothes???
I love donkeys. Great job on the cushion. I promise today I am catching up on your blog posts. Actually it will be tonight. I have to drive to Salem today. Have a great day Iris.
Jackie, here they are filthy and sooo small. Eww..
I threw the food away because it was so bad.
____
Nicole, thank you - blogging should be fun - no pressure ( and I should not turn the cushion around... slack job I did!).
Hope all is well?
Very interesting about the donkeys- I did not know that about them.
Too bad about the awful food, and about the job Iris. Better luck next time- just move forward one step at a time.
We are still having very warm and humid summery weather and I am enjoying it:)
The photo of the three kittens is so sweet.
Happy T day and have a good rest of the week!
There are plenty of donkeys here. They are so peaceful and friendly.
It was some mix, huh.
I sat on the balcony, reading today, maybe last time, it was so beautiful - a great week to you, too!
I love your gurri cushion. It's really cute! And I'm glad you got a nice note from your niece. But very bummed about the job. Love all the photos and glad you are able to read outside so much!
I could use a donkey to calm me down but I have a good sense of direction. It would be good company on a walk too don't you think?
How wonderful to learn about donkeys helping calm horses. I had NO idea.
You got lucky with the two skirts. One to wear and the other to sit on! So nice to have a label maker. I have three and only one works.
Loved the calendar pages and even more now I know more about Die Maus. Sorry the job wasn't for you. If I was hungry enough, I would have taken it, even if it was just to include it on my resume.
I love the blueberry tea and the adorable cousins of Henry. Thanks for sharing your week with us, as well as your tea for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Your mom's parenting skills crack me up - not bad! I reallylike your journal, even though you always say you don't have any talent. I don't know where you got that from. I'm sorry that you had such a bad summer - ours was rather mellow for California, which I liked a lot. I don't like the heat, 25 C is perfect for me. Henry's cousins are stinkin' cute.
What a great use for a cheap skirt! Love the cushion.
Great journal pages and adorable kittens.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I Like your journal pages and the photo of the kitties. Adorable! Happy T Day!
Those sleeping cats are gorgeous. I have always wanted a ginger cat, but hubby doesn't want another one since our one and only ever cat died (had to be put down due to illness).
Useless job offer. Why can you not choose your own jobs? Do you have to wait until you are offered something?
I did not know that about the donkeys. How interesting. Donkeys and camels? Who'd know.
Good idea to make a cushion cover. It is a very cheery cover and all that for 1,99!
A label maker is fun. Once you have it you don't know how you lived without it.
I'm sorry your take-away was so poor. I myself am not a fan of take-away. We have one take away in our village. She is called Inma and cooks lovely stuff. We sometimes indulge in one of her dishes. She has a kitchen on the High Street and the menu changes everyday.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
You've been sewing too? Nice! :)
Beautiful kitties, and I used to have one of those dymo gadgets, I think I want one now since they are back in style. Happy belated T day Elle/EOTC xx
