I only can have "kid´s-café", other my stomach flips. And isn´t this a literally cool glass?!
With this glass in a glass for people who cannot touch "hot" I join Elizabeth´s T again.
The journal:
Monday: Job-wise I am at LinkedIn. I lady from a translation agency keeps contacting me, offering support. Today she ended with "Vielen danks". Hm, no, thank you, I think I don´t need that "service". It would be "Vielen Dank", no "s"... Oh, boy....
Bro called 🥰 2+ hours.
And of course:
Tuesday: Work, heavy rain and soooo tired.
fK reminded me to watch the video of our CEOs. Good thing she did. Despite things are not running well for our company and many are without a project they see better times and "no one will lose his job". I feel much better now (I see the end of the DB-project already).
TV-news: From 02:30 a.m. on in Hamburg people wait in line to get in to a Taylor Swift-concert.
Hello???? If I got it right it starts 10 p.m.today... Crazy.
Temps down to 18C/64F.
Docu on Polish pupils who, in their school-holidays, learn what soldiers learn.
Well. If Ukraine fails... Poland will be "ready". Can´t Pu#in just drop dead and we have peace again? And freedom?
Wednesday: Good work-day, yummy home-made pizza for lunch. It cooled down, sadly, and my feet hurt so much, walking pad was out of the question - doc has my brain-scan but is on holiday.
"Adventure Life" is a show I watch sometimes. Today they showed amongst other how to make different sorts of Italian noodles. When it came to the munchy-part they had Adriano Celentano as music - I always listen to him on the BOSE when I cook or bake 😁
No TV again - heavy rain, thunder and lightning threw TV out. Show by Mother Nature! So wonderful!
We opened the balcony-door, grabbed two chairs and enjoyed. Movie: The Blind Side - love it.
Thursday: Over an hour chaos-meeting, then total stress, I was knocked out.
Yet I put on my CRABBS-t-shirt and we went to Jürgens Brauerei - and so lucky we did!!!
I said to Ingo: "So sad they don´t have honey-beer this year..." - but they had a Stout with coffee and chocolate. Brewmaster P brought it to the table and Ingo asked - they did have honey-beer on tap (long gone) ... and have 8 bottles left, yippeeee and YUM - to bees! We took a six-pack, only two bottles were left. Pic next Bee... ummmm-.... T-Day!
P knows we go to Perth (and suburbs) on a "regular" basis and Ingo told him how fast BEEZNEEZ was sold out, too - he grinned big.
Friday: Step outside... rain, back inside to get a brolly and, tadaa... saw the tram take off without me.
Bus two minutes later and I was lucky it took the direct route to the train station, pure luck.
My SIL - 6 years younger than me. Ash-grey hair and wrinkles. Glad Bro´d warned me...
Little Niece is... more than just... double-chin and big belly. I don´t think this is good.
Bro (optometrist) tested my eyes. He is such a mean man!!!
Rows of letters getting smaller and smaller - I really had a tough time, concentrated real hard.
What did he do? Switch to numbers!!! We had to laugh so hard!
It was so good to see him again! Maybe they visit Wednesday, it´s still school holidays.
Weekend: Saturday: Ingo got me rescue-flowers and made "Puffer" 0n the balcony. Soooo yummy.
There were but two bouquets of flowers left at REWE and they looked so sad, Ingo bought one...
We ate inside cause... either the machine or us on the table. TV.. guess...
Railway.
Sunday: Sleep in,Löwenzahn, Die Maus, nothing special.
Back in the day we´d hopped on the bikes and went out and about.
Ingo works in high temps and is exhausted and I work "under pressure".
But... a great life still, compared to what others had back in the day!
TV-docu: "In WWI the black wild ones now fight against even more primitive ones - the Germans".
Oh, HOW TRUE!!!
Darn it for being born German, really, but I had to laugh, bitterly, though...
Munchy:
More to come, Ingo has another toy .... and then he is in 100%.
Henry 🦁
To a happy T-Day!

Does your brain have something to do with your feet hurting? I need another eye test soon, things are getting hard to read, so maybe it is soon time for cataract surgery. I don't want to go blind, so I will have the surgery but I am scared, what if something goes wrong?
Might be that my brain is running mad... I still wait for the doc to call me.
Oh, eye-surgery sounds very, very scary! But I´ve heard of so many where it went well!!! Fingers, toes and everything is crossed you make the appointment and all works out well! As my Mum said: Think positive!
It worked with my arm, it WILL work with your eyes!
...we are over do for some rain here. I'd like a potato pancake please.
One is left, Tom, pop in! Sunny today!
I LOVE stout beer. The only beer I will drink. All others taste like watered down soap to me. Add chocolate and I will be in heaven.
Laughed at your eye chart woes. At least you got to spend time with him.
My tv goes out like that, too, since I got rid of cable. Weather has a LOT to do with reception.
Loved the cafe latte and that glass in a glass is a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing your calendar and cafe latte with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
I usually have long talks with my brother too. And not all the often. We try to talk once a month but that doesn’t always work. Oo honey beer. Sounds good and I bet you’re glad info asked. But chocolate coffee stout sounds amazing too. And of course I’m loving your journal. Hope this week isn’t so stressful! Have a great T day. Hugs Erika
We watched European rain fall on the Olympic athletes for hours (probably from a different cloud than yours). Now the games. I hope Europe’s skies are bright and clear and you can enjoy some nice outdoor walks again. Note: I know that it’s a big continent.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Elizabeth, the beer was yummy!
Yes. Till I figured out it was a number....
Glad we still have a book in bad weather, huh.
Happy T-day, dear host!

Erika, to cold beer on finally a hot day!!!
And to Brothers! Have a great day, hugs
____
CJ, oh? Just walk over with a pizza or such?
____
Mae, Aw, well, Europe is rather small, no?
Today is what people here call hot, I call it warm (27C/80F) - off to the balcony now!
You can relax about your job for a while, Iris. Hopefully the rest of the summer will be warm for you and you get lots of balcony time.
Of all your pictures, I like the potato pancake the most. Yummy!
Loving the latte glass and the stripes. I'd happily drink honey beer and the chocolate stout - yum 😊. Roar to Henry and wishing you a very Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
Throughout your post the thing that stuck with me was the tv not working and you and Ingo sitting on the balcony with the rain.. sounds lovely! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
RedPat I very mich hope for both!!!

_____
Jo, to ALL the yums and happy T-day!!!x

deb, it was lovely indeed!! Hugs and to more!
I never heard of honey beer but it does sound good. Have yourself a great day and hopefully some sunny weather.
Fun sketches
Do you have a recipe for potato pancakes? I found a couple online but the pancakes were awful. I don't remember how my dad made them.
Bill, it is yummy! And yes, it was 27C, I was on the balcony :-)
____
Dora, thank you.
____
River, I´ll ask Ingo for the recipe when he´s back and let you know. I think it´s pretty simple.
Yes, quite a week! Here, I think honey beer is called mead? Or maybe that is something else.
Good you got to see your brother. So many children today are very overweight. Too much pizza, bread, junk food I think, at least here in the US.
