Monday: Went to the bakery early cause I also wanted Pak Choi from NETTO (grocery with Monday-specials) - you can see the result here, if you like.
In front of the bakery there was a cute raven.
The baker-lady said (no surprise) - he is clever - he eats the cakes she puts out so the wasps don´t come in! (They come in, hence)
Colleague J was nice!!!
Later I had balcony-time, sketching, and WA was on TV in the evening.
Can you have a better start to a week (I have some ideas, but this was great, too).
Tuesday: Admin helped, J helped, F helped - sadly I am still the "Queen of click" - don´t guide me through (I each time shared my main monitor) and say words like "yes" or "now" - I will click!! How about you???
I learned so much.
Summer, balcony time, sketching... this summer is awesome.
Wednesday: Work and balcony-time - THE GOOD LIFE!
Thursday: Started work at 06:00 - 06:57 took off to REWE (grocery around the corner with self-checkout) - 12 people waiting already - they open at 07:00!
Germany is behind.
12 people at the cash-out with a cash-out-lady, waiting in line (again).
Me... only self-check-outer, boom - home 07:10, back at work 07:15. And no one sitting in my neck. DISTANCE, people, that´s the Corinna-key!
Good working as the peeps from Barcelona are on holiday - the whole plant is closed > no meetings, time to work!
Balcony-time, sketching, munching on the sweetest, best summer food.
Friday: Started work at 06:00 - 06:55 took off to EDEKA - grocery a bit farther away, but good for recycling.
Saw two Pantos and said hi (we have trams here, too, they are red, and I have so much to do with pantographs, I feel I should say hello 😘🚋 (the panto is the thing on top).
Later our proofreader again called me in despair.
It´s a never-ending story with that translation company. They are crap, except one man.
He said he´s sorry. In Latin - I thought that was Spanish (deepl thought so, too), he corrected me. Now I can not only order... 🍻 dos cervesas, por vavor, but also that I´m sorry in Spanish - I try to see the good in everything, right?
Weekend: Saturday was overcast but sadly no rain.
Neighbors from the other garden LOUD, so I stayed indoors and Ingo brought me sweet, cooled melon to the PC.
Sunday was a lazy day again, Die Maus and enjoying SUMMER!
And for Elizabeth´s T?
I certainly had this AFTER work!
Hmmmm... peach. The sweet life.
Food-wise you saw enough, huh.
Art-wise?
Henry 🦁
To another great week, Happy T-Day!

Looks like you worked hard but still had some good times this week! Nice sketches.
best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you, it was a wonderful summer-week!
Enjoying your drawing. Sitting at the balcony with fresh fruits sounds so good. These days, many have forgotten about safe distancing.
So now you know a little Spanish, a little Latin, pretty soon you might know little bits of many more languages.
I like your "skull" can with the pencils in.
I wish for summer here now, so I can eat summer fruits. Mmm, peaches.
Today is so cold I have the heater running since 1pm.
Nancy, yes, I always kept distance, pre-COVID, too! I don´t like strangers in my neck...
And yes, oh, I think summer makes a break or sadly comes to an end here...

River, I sketched that skull :-) I bought the drink just for the can!
Reckon the heating will be on here in some time...
Peaches, LOL! my boss once took a peach thinking it´s my mouse (she was not used to two monitors) - so always when I think of peaches I have to laugh :-)
Oh I also speak French ... and does "Pizza , Lasagna...vino... , spaghetti" count as Italian? ;-)
Your calendar cards are wonderful :)
...I love your little trailer!
Królowa Karo, than you - it helps me remember what I did all week!

Tom, thank you :-)
So many interesting things in your life, Iris. I love how you capture them and how your mind works. Awesome journaling and the drink looks fabulous!
Hoping for extra fun this week and lots of yummy food and drink!
Thanks for sharing your view of life. Happy Tday and hugz
Good morning Iris, sounds like a good week-your journal pages keep getting better and better. yum fresh fruit-we just enjoyed fresh melon for breakfast this morning while watching the sunrise
Have a good week-hugs
I had to google our streetcars and found out we call it panto too!
Love your skull holder too, I would call it a Catrina (the skull not the container).
P.S. I never like people standing too close to me and especially now! Covid is still alive and well here.
You work so hard but find time to enjoy your week. I really like all of the journals and the melon looks so fresh and sweet. Have a great day today.
Balcony time :) That sounds like a great addition to a day. Happy T Tuesday!
Nancy, sometimes I wish my brain was more effictive. And could control the mind.. CLICK!
Hugz!

Kathy, thank you - oh, please pop in tomorrow :-)
hugs and to a great week!

Jackie, pantos everywhere :-)
We also call them Stromabnehmer. Boring name!
Thank you, now I have Catrina at work (sketch to come).
And yes. And if I buy one tomato... trolley - so I can control the distance!!

Nicole, I kinda love my work.. or rather the luxury of working from home, and nice colleagues!
And this is really such a wonderful summer!
____
Divers And Sundry, oh, it sure is!!!!
A busy week.
Actually a lot of balcony time :-)
I have been sitting out on the deck too but it is raining today so indoor time.
You sound happy Iris.
I am RedPat, I am :-) And rain is good, too!
I'm having trouble leaving comments, but I always love your calendar pages. Looks like you got a lot of work done, even with others on holiday. Sure enjoyed seeing your balcony time and loved the melons. Great name for your drink, too. Thanks for sharing your at and your peach drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Ich bin froh, dass du eine gute Balkonwoche hattest - ich habe das immer sehr in Deutschland genossen. Und arbeitsmäßig scheint es auch gut gewesen zu sein. Ich kann es auch nicht leiden, wenn - egal wo - Leute zu dicht neben oder hinter mir stehen. Das kann hier genauso passieren. Dein Wohnwagen-Vogelhaus ist herrlich!
Work, balcony time, perfect Summer weather, and delicious Summer fruit. Life is good.
I wish I had a balcony, but too hot here to sit on it, anyway! But the fresh fruit sounds and looks great! Happy T Day, Iris.
I really loving your sketches this week, especially the lettuce and mushrooms. You know I love food art. This is great Iris! I can't wait until you take the plunge and start filling in your sketches with watercolor.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
ELizabeth, blogger sure has hiccups a lot - thanks for trying again!
The name of the drink is very cool, isn´t it! Oh, and to summer and it´s food!

Carola, ja, sooooo schön! Hoffentlich war das nicht doof, nicht mal ein paar Tage Urlaub zu nehmen. Am 10. September klärt sich, ob ich den Job behalte, mir ist schon jetzt ganz anders.
Fremde, dicht, geht gar nicht, nie! Ich habe schon oft Leute an der Kasse vor gelassen!
Danke, der Wohnwagen ist leider wirklich hin, LOL!
____
CJ, life IS good indeed :-)
____
Sharon, for me it cannot get too hot - if so, I suffer, complain and enjoy. No logic!
The ugly half of the year is here soon enough. Still dark as I type now... (04:42).
____
Kate, uh-oh. I think I really have to take time and watch some YouTubes on how to start with watercolor!
I will, when balcony-time is sadly over!
Somehow I missed this yesterday-which is so naughty of me! Glad I remembered to check it out because I would have missed all your fun journal pages Iris. I think your balcony is to you what my screen porch is to me. I even have a little frog statue on my screen porch, but he doesn't have a crown or is quite as cute as yours. And I looked at that beer(?) can and first thought it said six thirty. Man oh man, that book stays with you, doesn't it? I hope it was a lovely T day. hugs-Erika
The Queen of Click lol. That melon looks delicious, sometimes the quality is not great here. I had great fun any time I had to go to Western Australia so I always appreciate seeing it again. I added some Highland cows on my tea post for you this week :) Sorry for my lateness, end of month is always a busy time for me. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
Looks like a good week with balcony time too!
As ever I love your sketches, belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
