Blown Away

 
Australia is in the middle of summer now - hot, hot, hot (I LOOOVE IT) - this pic was taken in  in 1995 - season for these beauties is over by now, I guess.
 
 
From my new "workplace"  I got distracted from the trees blowing wild in the cold wind.
I cannot see that from my private PC-place. 
Yikes! The wind was quite fierce.
And I thought of wildflower-season in Australia...
 
 
Ahhh.. it was a joy to see, and really a "wonder".
I leave you  with a postcard...

 
Esperance - crystal clear water - we were always there when it was too cold for a swim!

Nasty weather, nasty like the 3-year-old I had to work with yesterday.
She reveals herself...
Wild on another level.
Cannot take any "critics", I felt like in kindy.

Other customer got mad, like quite really mad at her. 
Rightfully, too, but... it´ll land on my back, I fear.

That "not virus" - she´s an Admin, too - said it´s a) all wrong, against the rules of sharing data and b) just nasty.
Hahaha, "Corinna is helping you!" gave me a lille shock at first 🤣 - but she did her best! 😘

We went to AR, the Admin, who solved the PC-problem in no time.

The darn CONSOLE was malfunctioning. 
And poor Ingo dragged THE.WHOLE.EQUIPMENT to Siemens.

Henry is all in for peaceful wildflowers.

Really, if C, who works with SharePoint since years and considers it her "Baby" - like I did my project at Volkswagen - has a hard time to help me... I count down the days left with AA.

C said she is sorry my start here is with AA. Three times.

WILD.. flowers.

But at least you can speak English!(with an Aussie accent, but this doesn't matter)

Tom said...

...I must say that as I get older that the cold bothers me, but hot, hot hot I don't LOOOVE either!

Iris Flavia said...

Í don´t speak Aussie Accent. I loose any accent once I leave - but I gain it back quickly, Ingo - I guess!!!

Tom, oh, you´re a Spring-/ autumn guy then :-)

CJ Kennedy said...

Yes, I would like to be in OZ right now. SUMMER! And not the biting wind and cold we had yesterday or the snow that may be coming on Monday. Sad face. I hope things with AA improve

William Kendall said...

I vastly prefer the cold.

My name is Erika. said...

One day I will get to Australia and back to international travel-I hope. Love reading about Australia. It is such a big country/continent? How much of it have you seen? Happy Saturday. Hugs-Erika

Black Knight said...

Australia is on my wishing list but I think I will never visit that Country because my wife is scared of flying.

Mae Travels said...

Nice photos of such a beautiful summer even if it's so dry.

best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

DVArtist said...

My dream is to go to Australia. Glad you have the memories of the beauty there.

Sorry this is a generic message, but it's all I could pull together. Late Thursday as I headed to the basement, I caught my sleeve on the railing and lost my balance. I fell down 13 of the 14 steps to the basement floor. I laid there for what seemed like hours, but in reality was probably little more than 20-30 minutes. When I was able to get up, I realized I had hurt my back enough that all I could do was lie on it. I have trouble sitting or standing. I hope you understand.

If I normally visit you every day, I hope/plan to feel better by Monday. Thanks for your support and understanding. PLEASE, NO SYMPATHY. It was my own stupidity.

I like the weather best at the beginning of Spring but the cold is easy to adapt to for me. I like your Aussie photos, reminds me of a desert.

RedPat said...

I wonder if we will ever travel again?
It sounds like AA has a reputation.

At my home we seem to have breeze. I'm up on buff. Or a plateau.
Coffee is on and stay safe

River said...

Don't worry too much about working with the nasty baby, every workplace has one and you said she will be gone soon.
I hope I can one day get across the border to see the wild flowers for myself. The season for them is quite short and I need time to make arrangements, maybe next year we can cross state borders freely again. For now, WA is letting NO ONE in.
I don't like the excessive heat, so I am glad our summer will be wetter and windier this year. We have a La Nina weather event coming through this year. I just hope it won't cause too much damage, all the wild winds.

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, snow?! EEEEEK. Yes AA givesme bad dreams...

William, I thought so ;-)

Erika, it´s huge and wonderful!!! And you even find a piece of a village near where I grew up there, I couldn´t believe my eyes, they built it up in Australia!
But when you go I recommend Western Australia, Northern Territory and especially The Outback! Hugs and have a wonderful Sunday!


____

Black Knight, please tell your wife it is SO worth it!
I´m scared, too, but when you overcome your fear you are presented with a wonderful, extraordinary time!

____

Mae, yes, it is wonderful indeed!

____

Nicole, yes, it´s but memories, but those I am thankful for!

____

Elizabeth, hope your pain and stupidity (JOKING!!!!) goes away very soon!
Scary adventures you are up to! Big hugs!

____

Bill, yes, that was in the desert :-)

____

RedPat, I am positive on traveling again!

____

River, yes, I know, how sad is it. But maybe wise of WA government.
Wish we can meet there some day in person! If my sweet tooth wakes up I´d like to invite you to an ice cream in Elizabeth Quay. Or even better a Pizza in Little Creatures in Freo!

I had planned to visit Australia in July, but I just gave up on the idea. Omicron is causing new travel restrictions already and who knows what other variants may appear on the scene between now and July. It's impossible to know from day to day what's happening. In addition airline tickets have gone through the roof and adequate insurance is difficult to get - and expensive. I am very lucky to have visited twice, but I doubt very much now that I will ever make it there again. Sad!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, David, it´s so darn sad - I have friends there I miss....

Jeanie said...

Well, at least they all know what you are up against, with your first days with AA. The others sound very supportive. I love that Henry photo.
