Mooooo-ey FFO And Smiles

 
This Kakao-carton holds note-sheets so I don´t forget what to buy and with this I join Nicole´s FFO.
 
I have the day off today and I really also need it, I´m exhausted from the fun-job (no irony! But it´s stressy). 
 
Maybe I should rather join with this face:
 
 
The man with the Chapeau Claque/Opera  hat is my  Dad.
He was in a group  that played silly theatre in the 70´s. 
He passed away from cancer 22 years ago today. 
No  more watching the stars with Ingo... 
I miss him.
 
But!!! 
Let us smile with Annie´s Smiles!
 

 Now don´t tell me animals have no feelings as one "scientist" I read a book of 
stated (forgot the name, title was "IF the Lion could think") ....

And now for some funnies!


I would LOVE to have this clock! SO TRUE!
More than half of 2024 is gone already!
 

 Use every moment you get! We had a fun time out at the brewery yesterday.
 




I miss her, too. 
As you can see she loved Ingo as well:


She made kale just for him before we took off to Perth... this was 2006.


... and I am a very punctual person. As Dad always said: "better 10 minutes early than 5 minutes late" - but this.... I hope this was photoshop-ped!


It´s very hip here now... I do  it like this:



... and join Gillena´s Lunch Break - go visit - SUCH A HAPPY SONG I want to share, let´s spread the joy!





He is male.
VW-canteen, my customer "Look at that!!!", pointing behind my back.
Well... what can I say.... other than "pssst, quiet, that´s my neighbor...".


Same in your place? Peeps on bikes with boom-blasters?



I´ll take it slow today!

Henry 🦁 ... sends Granpa Max,my friend´s cat (I get at least one cat-pic from her per day as I so badly wanted to have a cat and I won´t).


Isn´t that the cutest face?
Have a happy Friday, sun is out and it might get warm-ish.

That kermit is just how I feel!
My son is 40 and we bought him a boom box when he was around 16. He still has it!
Perhaps some people eat synthetic potato. I can't imagine it?
Have a smiley week. Kate x

Tom said...

...Iris, what a fun post. Hugs are important. Tim flies is a hoot. Do you think that the car may be a bit overloaded? I love plat based potatoes, they are the best kind. I will never understand nose rings. Take care and be well.

Annie said...

We all have days like that....I'm all sewed out today and just can't get motivated to do anything. I'm having a chilled out day too.
Hugs,
Annie x

Iris Flavia said...

Kate, yes, Kermit is like The Simpsons... real life.
We often use powder for potato-mash, it´s good.... so... smile x

Tom, yes, to hugs and no to nose rings ;-) To a great day!

Annie, to chilling out, hugs x

A day off is nice, even from a job that you enjoy.

My name is Erika. said...

A day off is exciting. Especially when work has been stressful.I hope it's a fun day for you. And I know how Kermit feels. Sometimes it is hard to get started when you have too much to do. Where to begin? Enjoy your day Iris. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Gene, SO yes! To both!

Erika, I will go shopping tooth paste for Ingo, kitchen paper and stuff like that in a minute. Ahhh... so exciting is my life! ;-) Hugs to that!

Lots of fun in your post today. Love the times flies clock and would love to have one. I drove home one time with a mattress tied on the hood of my car and half way home, it blew off, no one was hurt and the mattress was fine. Thanks for the memory, have a nice day and weekend.

Iris Flavia said...

Bill, oh, boy!!!
Ingo did the same mattress-thingy, but it was our bed, which is my old Brother´s youth bed and all went well....
To a great weekend! It warmed up!

CJ Kennedy said...

Your dad looks very dapper in his Chapeau Claque. As long as we remember those that have passed, we keep their memory alive. Kale 🤢 Ingo is very cute. Enjoy your day off

Christine said...

Nice art and food. Have a good rest and thanks for the smiles.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I'm late visiting because right after I linked, I fell asleep in my computer chair. Woke when my forehead hit the keyboard!

Love the Picard and Kermit funnies. Nice you had the day off. Have a super weekend, dear Iris.

The car with the sheetrock on top, oh my! I enjoyed seeing photos of your mom and dad, they look like nice people, with a sense of fun.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh. I LOVE my job!!!! I want to keep it...
Yes,my parents were nice. Strict, but nice...

Barbara Rogers said...

River said...

"Plant Based Mashed Potato" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I love the flies clock.
My kids had boom boxes, but not as large as ones I saw on TV being carried around on shoulders and bikes etc. They just had them in their bedrooms to listen to their own music.
I see an Australian five cent coin by your drawing today!
I do like Kermit does a lot of the time.

Iris Flavia said...

Barbara, you´re very welcome!

____

River, bet they are "vegan", too, LOL!
I looked the clock up at amazon... not available. But I keep looking ot look for fly-stickers and make one myself!
My Boomblaster was that big. But it´s days are looooong over.
Yes, I found the cent and instead of a € cent put it up now - Ingo says otherwise people have no idea how small the drawing is - though I think when you see my glasses you get the idea?
I Kermit a lot,too ;-)

DVArtist said...
