I got this little Orang Utan-peeler from a Perth friend when we moved into our condo 2011.
And with him I join Eileen´s Staturday Critters. He still peels carrots for Ingo for every work day (I help a bit).
Obviously in Australia it is tradition to send a welcome-pressie. She also sent a dish-brush I need yet to sketch!
After 12 years our doormat has had it.
And yesterday Ingo came home with this!!!!
Love that the bees are different-sized!
I said, I want them to stay in front of the kitchen-door as they make me happy every time I enter.
Ingo agreed, we´re off soon to buy another for the condo-door - have the best man ever 🥰
Also off to the market to buy local honey from maybe Oker-bees 🐝
And in case of ear-worm, here goes:
With this to a for us sadly long but hopefully happy weekend!
Why sadly? Tuesday is German Unitiy Day and hence I am forced to take Monday off as bridge day. We "traded" that for a public holiday in June! 😒
End of October there is another.
Not good when you have to take the days between Christmas and News Years off as well and start your six-weeks holiday end of January!
And hence atm as I work internal I am not allowed to work overtime.
So many forced days of holiday in the shitty half of the year.
Henry 🦁...
Yes, Baby Henry, go play 😘
Addendum: Ingo came home from grocery/market-shopping with this (I had a mean cramp and could not join):
"This is how Braunschweig, the Lion-City, tastes like".
In case you do not know why we are the Lion-City, look here 🦁

Good mornng, I Loveee your new doormat-tell Ingo great choice! sorry these holidays are not paid ones. when I worked at the phone co-years ago before retirement we were fortunate to get lots of them paid-and forced unpaid vacation not good either-guess I was spoiled back then.
I sent you an email-about happy mail!-loved it thank you much hugs from the lake
Oh and I loved too the baby Henrys
It is paid holiday, Kathy, but I have o... "only" 30 days per year and wanted to take 10 to the next because otherwise all holidays are gone come March 8!
Ingo smiles when I told him about his choice and at least baby Henry loves a long weekend!
Great the mail arrived :-) Hugs to you and the lake!
Hello, Iris
A long weekend sounds great, I hope you go out and play. Your Orang Utan peeler is cute and I love the Bee Happy door mat. I bought some honey this week too, the local honey is a treat. Love the cute lion cubs, they are adorable. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I try to see it your way (to me it is a forced one I don´t need).
Yay to local honey, baby Henry is out to play, I bet! :-)
...Iris, Bee Happy and I love the lion family.
These are such fun Iris. I love the peeler. I've never seen an orangutan one before. :) Nice drawing too. And you can't go wrong with honey nor a bee doormat. Perhaps one is the queen and one is a worker. :) Enjoy-and happy weekend.hugs-Erika
Happy door mat and a lovely family portrait for Henry.
Love your fun carrots! Enjoy the honey.
Tom, let us all bee happy!

Erika, he´s a busy guy, the peeler! Yes, that was my guess also with the bees :-) Happy weekend to you, too, hugs

magiceye, yes to both :-)
Christine, they look forward to get naked ;-)
Bee happy is a good motto.
Yes - every time I go into the kitchen and soon when coming home, too! :-)
Your vegetable peeler made me smile and your new welcome mat is very cute. Adorable honey jar. Enjoy your holiday weekend.
CJ, peeler fulfilled his job then!
To a great weekend!
I have the Bee Happy earworm now. ;-)
:-) Happy 'bout that, I hope!
Your Orang Utan-peeler's lasting usefulness and the new doormat with bees are charming.
I love that doormat too. And don't worry about those days off, just be happy!
I like the oragutan peeler, have never seen one before. I love the Bee Happy mat.
Not all Australians follow that tradition, but I'm glad someone did for you.
What a fun carrot peeler. LOve the new doormat, too.
Love your little peeler :)
Shiju Sugunan, thank you, he really is a busy monkey and the bees make me happy lots of times!

Bertiebo, it will mean next year after the big holiday... only forced ones, ugh!

River, the Orangutan was a cheapy, years later (it always takes ages to get to Germany) I saw him here, too. Sadly no more...
Yes, it was a big surprise to get a welcome-parcel!
Our own condo, no more renting, it was special and we felt like little Kings ;-)
____
Elizabeth, yes to both!

Margaret, he turns all red from all the attention!
My doormat stays indoors.
