My monstrous ticket to Elizabeth´s T!
Who... who´ll travel `Straya soon... could resist this drink?!
The background might be a tad confusing... I think Thursday I´ll show you part is real!
The journal:
Monday: Productive work day. Was so into work, missed half a meeting!!
M said not to worry, we just spoke Friday, phew.
Met K in the city for a croissant and a cuppa (see - another soul who is not into sweets much! She had a Laugenbrezel, also salty).
We said good-bye via hug and later she let me know she arrived home safely.
Reckon she is a friend now?
I´m an introvert, so making friends is really tough for me... the hug came from her, too...
1 session of training. Oh, come on, I walked a lot...
Tuesday: Was so into work, nearly forgot to WhatsApp my T! Got a lot done.
4 sessions of training and more Trek.
Wednesday: Good day. Very productive meeting(s).
Panicked for no reason. Female teamleader wanted to talk to me. I feared she has a "present job" for me, where I have to work at the customer, not from home.
Instead she told me female sub-teamleader M is very content with me and my work 😁
And I´m allowed to work longer hours till my minus ones are gone.
Even P, one of the two super-bosses agreed to this. Scared me a bit that he was involved...
(we´re a company of ca. 400 peeps)
Also she found it´s reasonable to not join the Christmas-party.
Just imagine I catch COVID there and that just before our long holiday...
4 sessions of training.
Thursday: Asked colleague J to have a quick look at the three designs I provided for him.
He skipped the chit-chat and we were done in under 5 minutes.
I call that a very productive meeting!
Got loads done, too.
4 sessions of training.
Friday: Work never gets boring. Soon I´ll have to test a new lecturer.
Actually I don´t want to. I know already way too much!
See, I´m VERY afraid of fire.
Glad I have an ex-firefighter who was even a breathing apparatus wearer as pro right here...
Still... afraid.
For ALSTOM I had to translate a document for firefighters.
Now a whole day on fire protection on trains.
Come January we´ll be on a train all the way to Frankfurt...
Why ever my teamleader thinks I belong to a group of 5 out of 400 is beyond me.
But, well, meeting 4 new colleagues - it´s a present-seminar, not online.
Had to get reminded a long weekend is up. Gah, I get forgetful! Sadly weather will stay icky.
4 sessions of training.
Weekend: Saturday: Slept in. We made kale (Grünkohl) one of the few good things in the icky season! Sadly Ingo used way too much butter.
4 sessions of sport. In a row. Feet hurt! Only mid-end November I have the app at the dr...
2018 they said we give up on Summer-/wintertime and stay in summertime. Might take two years. I´m not that good at math, but...
Ingo filled out visa-forms. Post to come.
Other Löwenzahn, Die Maus, well, quiet. Die Maus:
Munch-wise... I DID (!!!) take a pic of the kale, but it´s gone"!
Hence an homage to my late Grandma:
Halloween, right?
"Art-wise":
So for the pumpkin:
And Ingo came home with these just now - aren´t they just eerie-sistible!!!
Ingo picked the one where the poor pumpkin was deeeeep inside, so no one bought these flowers otherwise... Ingo has a good eye on those who need help!
Do you have an idea how much I love all this and Ingo´s attention?
Do you have an idea how much I love all this and Ingo´s attention?
Last not least:
I was right there, above Mr. Pumpkin with the witch-hat!

Good morning-enjoyed your post!
Thank you, dear Kathy, mission fulfilled! Hugs to you and the lake!
...LOVE all of your colors, but no X-mas party?
No, Tom, Germans are... way behind. No self-raising flour here, either. Middle Ages, that´s Germany.
Bell is on, we have no sweets, cause no kid will come!
Those bees are scary-smile. But of course lots of folks would be scared of bee and spiders sadly.Me, I'm not a snake fan, so I get it. And nice pumpkin too. Your journal pages are always quite clever, or what you find and how you draw them are clever. I bet Santa was sad his dance party was not happening. I hope you have a great October 31, Halloween if you celebrate and of course, Happy T day too. hugs-Erika
I hope you are enjoying a happy Halloween! Our weather unfortunately is pretty hostile to the poor kids who want to go trick-or-treating this evening.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I like all your Halloween decorations and the flowers. We get no kids but bought candy which we have been eating. ;-)
Erika, yes, of course I google for ideas, sadly I´m not that creative myself! But, as you said, clever enough to find a way :-)
Well, Santa likely has 399 people partying with him still :-)
Bell is on, no kid wants anything (Halloween really has still not arrived here...)
Happy T-Day to you, hugs!

Mae, sorry for your weather! Kids here stay inside - Halloween has not really arrived here...
Mae's and my weather are similar. Love your calendar pages and understand why no Christmas party. Bless Ingo for his thoughtfulness.
I have drank that Monster and it definitely will keep you awake. Thanks for sharing this week with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Weather not nice here, either... it´s that half of the year, huh?
Hope others understand my party-decision also! 400 .. one missing would make no difference, huh? Would I even find the ones I know via teams???
OK, Mr. Monster is sat back for a tired moment!
Thank you, dear host!
We have sunshine, finally today. Our clocks fall back next weekend.
I have a love/hate relationship with kale. I usually use it in an Irish dish, colcannon, where you mash it in with mashed potatoes and onions.
Happy Halloween! You can never go wrong with Trek :) Happy T Tuesday
Jacky, unbelievable how many places keep this summer-/winter-time, what for???
Yes, Ingo mashed in potatoes, too. Was... you could eat it ;-)
Next time I will do it. Chances are high it will be yummy!
The meat was great btw, cheers to Ingo on that!

Divers and Sundry.. stuck at Supernatural now!!!
Always a fun week with you. The Young One's friend drinks Monster stuff. Looking at the can gives me the jitters thinking about all the caffeine. I should talk. When I was a computer programmer in my younger days, we used to drink a soda called Jolt like twice the amount of caffeine and sugar than regular soda! 🌩️ Clocks. We're in the same boat. The Senate passed a bill to stay on daylight savings time and not flip the clocks twice a year. It was supposed to go into effect this year, but the House failed to pass the bill. Jackasses. I'm with you do not go anywhere crowded anywhere near you trip! No COVID! Ingo is sweet I like your Halloween flowers. Happy T Day and Happy Halloween 🐈⬛🎃💀👻🦇
Nice post and art. We don't get any kids coming to our place and that's great. :) Happy Halloween!
CJ, oh, boy, I´ll sure be careful with that drink!
Jackasses - so yes, SADLY!!
Yes, no party... weird times, huh. And yes, Ingo is sweet often 😉
The bell rang but once. As we have no sweets I didn´t answer... Hope you had a real Halloween!

Bill, one kid. I think? Let´s just have a nice day!
Your mashed potatoes and egg look yummy. Not something I would think to put together.
I love kale but sadly don't get it often. No one in my house likes the taste and they all make fun of the smell.
That is great that your supervisor is happy with your work!
Happy tea Day,
Kate
Thank you, egg and potatoes go well together.
Poor you with the kale! Well, and poor me, also. All you could taste was butter...
Next time I´ll cook. Yes, glad all is OK work-wise!
I love Elmo and the glitter pumpkin! And the flowers with a witch hat pumpkin, why would nobody buy them? Just because there is a witch? Silly people. I like the colour changing light in the other pumpkin too.
That Aussie lemonade looks terrific! Ah, Elmo. I love him. And your drawings make me smile. It's a wonderful style.
River, the poor pumpkin was hardly visible - Ingo had a closer look than most people! :-)
Yes, Elmo is the cutest and I love the pumpkin, too.

Jeanie, yet to be tasted, that Monster and, Monster... who does not love Elmo 😘
Thank you, you motivate me even more.
Happy Halloween Iris, sorry I'm late. Trekkies! I just finished rewatching all 176 episodes of TNG on netflix, that was always my favourite but I am thinking of watching Voyager now or cancelling Netflix, I can't decide. Maybe watch all their Star Trek stuff then cancel haha. Happy T Day! Elle xx
