With this yummy drink from a restaurant (in a jam-glass) I join Elizabeth´s T.
The journal:
Monday: Uneventful, cold. Wander-flowers and Limpy came to my workplace that has no work...
Laundry, Walking Pad with Warehouse 13 and later Young Sheldon. This I like - the adult version I cannot stand....
Tuesday: Nearly end of April. Went early to get Ingo bananas - cars were frozen. April, hello?! Snow in November and ice in April?
Found a Dandelion and...
(See Friday for that)
What I also like... I strive (the mean word is nerd) - so I read our CEO#1´s article. He is Dr. Ing. but just gives his name. Cool.
When you know you are good and people know you... just give your name. I wait till it´s just his first name ;-)
Walking Pad & Warehouse 13.
Wednesday: Started great. "opinion poll" from the E.C.O. group: "We care about you" - Sounds great.
fK called, informed me she´ll call our boss, boss called me... oh, boy.
I - not via e-mail!!! - offered "short-time work" - she did not want to hear ANY of that!!!! "We will manage!!!! We WILL find something!!!!"
Did I ever mention I love ESE?
I might go ten steps backwards and perhaps work as tester again, other a maybe-project will be on. "Soon".
Have you ever cooked something yourself and marveled, "hmmm, this was SO yummy"? And then you know you did not write down how exactly you did it... My Pan-Pizza saved my week a bit.
Walking Pad & Warehouse 13.
Thursday: I went to bed in my thick jumper at night cause I was cold and dreamed I was in Perth, hence. Ingo chose a wrong "way" in my dream and we could not get off of the "thing" and there were LOUD Germans. Was I glad when my phone woke me!
Admin mT called and we.. well, you know, problem solved and then... private stuff 😉
Longer chat with fK and later Ingo brought home Max & Moritz (chicken).
Walking Pad & Warehouse 13.
Friday: Project on the way, yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... I understood less than half, but ... and I will have to tell my Brother again: I get it because my English is "C2", that is near to "mother tongue". And because I am "meticulously" - try not to laugh at that. Actually it´s "Erbsenzähler" - Peas-counter...
I am sooooooooooo relieved - now I "only" have to show I can do the job aka start at zero again.
It will be Deutsche Bahn, our Mom.
Had lunch with my friend fK, very yummy and great company, maybe we repeat this next Friday, too, as last Friday. And, yes, Ingo, we went to Fräulein Wunder (Miss Wonder). We shared an omelette and bread and I was full to the brim!
So, munch-wise: Eierlei!
A German word-game.
Ei > egg. Plural: Eier, eggs.
Einerlei > no matter. Eierlei... YUM FUN.
We had Omelette with Chester cheese & cooked ham, 2 slices of bread, butter - soooo yummy and more than enough! Even the bread was yummy (fK had to help with the rest cause it was too much and, like me, she hates food being wasted - and, to those who wonder I stress East Germany often... I bit into the bread (not fork and knife) and she just ate it up. East Germans do that. We also shared our drinks - we are both still alive and healthy - West Germans use straws etc - in Tuscany our East German bus driver offered me his bathing pants!).
I also said to my friend, "my, that waiter is a kid!!! Is he allowed to work?!".
Her: "That´s a young man. Over 20, I suppose".
Officially: I am old. (She has kids she can estimate better).
A dog came in, I got SCARED.
She took my hands to calm me down - must´ve been some sight (worked).
The dog was RIGHT BEHIND ME!
Weekend: Saturday: Our loo is supersmall and has no window. If you just go pee we leave the door open and the light out ... for "more" - door closed and light on cause ventilation thankfully comes with that.
Ingo ripped the door open and turned off the light!!!
I said... "HEY!!!" - "Sorry", closed the door. Sat there in pitch-black dark!!! "LIGHT!!!!".
LOL, what a start to the day!
Other, uneventful but GRIMM.
Sunday: GRIMM. Löwenzahn, Die Maus, kid´s fairy tale, GRIMM.
SO nervous about the brain scan and new project, puuuuhhhhh.
Henry 🦁
P.S. YES. At 07:00 a.m. TODAY I have a meeting due to the new project ... as in ... I got it!!!!
And I have another short history lesson, suiting our T-Day here, too.

Congratulations, Iris. It's wonderful you don't have to worry about the job now that you have it. That pizza sounds good. I want to try the homemade lime basil lemonade. Thanks for sharing your calendar and your drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Bertiebo, let´s face it... we are old ;-)

Dear Elizabeth, I SO hope I´ll manage - it´s a tough job....
I hope to repeat that pizza-sauce and that drink was super-yummy!!!
...Iris, you are old? You are a kid!
Restaurant portions do tend to be amazingly huge, here too — I see why you shared that omelet (which sounds delicious). We recently ordered two “plates” — that is, meals — to take away from a barbecue place. There was enough meat, side dishes, and sauce for two whole lunches/dinners, and some extra for part of a third meal. Great with BBQ since it’s good leftover.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Good morning Iris, your lemonade sounds delicious, and I enjoy reading about and seeing your journal pages Congrats on the new job assignment-you wil crush it I am sure. I love dandelions
Hugs from the lake Kathy
I'm glad to see Limpy hasn't been relegated to some corner of some shelf to be ignored. Grin. And I always love seeing your journal. We had frost a couple of mornings last week. It was chilly too. But it is still April where I live. Loving your journal once again too. I hope you're having a fabulous T day. hugs-Erika
I enjoy the journal pages and the little drawings, Iris. The week ended well and the new one started with a project!
I'm so happy you got another project. Here in the US people bring their dogs EVERY WHERE! Stores, restaurants, malls, you name it, they bring their dogs in. Ohhh and once in a while you will see a cat. Being a retired Vet Tech, I can tell you this is unsanitary and disgusting. I quit going to my friends T-House because she allows dogs. While I was there a man comes in with his dachshund and let the dog all over the table. That was it for me. I told her so too. Anyway that is my professional knowledge and personal opinion. On with more. Your journals are always so full of life and what you are doing. I love reading them. Have a great day today.
Tom, you are like my former boss, ... but that was many years ago!

Mae, we always share or take home the "rest"! It´s plain crazy, those huge portions!

Kathy, thank you, oh, I will get another dandelion :-)
I SO hope I manage that job - to you and the lake, hugs!

Erika, Limpy and the flowers just came back to my private workplace :-)
It was a great day, fK and Bro called! Hope yours was wonderful also! Hugs

RedPat thank you and YES! To a great new week!
Yummy drink and a good week you had.
The best parts here are the new project and your friend holding your hands to calm you with the dog right behind you. I don't think dogs should be allowed in restaurants. Here, they are not, though there are beachside cafes where dogs are allowed by the tables on the footpaths, but they must be on a leash.
It isn't fair that you still get so cold in your springtime.
Christine, I will have that again!

River, the project seems soooo big now!
But YES to no dogs in restaurants - they, too, must feel bad smelling the good and not getting it!
Summer arrived! Well, German summer...
