Another Summer-Thursday (the Jürgens Brewery is only open to public on Thursdays and Fridays). A happy Ingo with an Alt, I had the usual CRABBS.
And yes, this is a parking lot. All guests accept and by now maybe love the quirky way...
And with this I join Elizabeth´s T 😍
You can read "Braunschweig LÖWEN" (LION) on Ingo´s shirt.
The journal....
Monday: Sped by!!! I really have to write down each and every day.
All I remember is work, being tired, the dehumidifier drove me nuts - we live in a jungle!
Tuesday: I have a monster-file to translate. Sooo tired afterwards.....
See... the trains get refurbished.
They are that old, there are still ashtrays - and they were written by typewriter!!!
Hence AI sometimes does not understand text and I have to retype. Wonderful.....
Formats are gone, too...
Wednesday: Monster is done and dusted. Fun with admin mT after (my) work.
I even went to the toilet to give him the Chuck Norris-joke. We have a poster with toilet graffiti there (he started this!!!).
ESE is more like a bunch of friends/family, huh (450 peeps).
We help each other, we make each other laugh.
When we find info, we share. When we find jokes, we share.
I asked and mT as well as fK said it´s OK I´ll mention them by name in my yearly talk with my teamlead and both agreed my idea of "Lessons Learned" for all to contribute is a great idea.
Maybe I´ll succeed.
I made the summer-BYO-festival happen, too. So...
See, at ESE, with the help of colleagues you develop in more than one way!
You are understood, supported... you grow up after all... (what I never wanted, actually).
I HOPE THEY KEEP ME!
Ingo: "N24 doku: Railway!" At work and afterwards... I´m kinda into railway non-stop!
It was about Maintenance - what I do right now! So interesting!!!!
Niece turned 14. I talked to an adult!
Thursday: I flamINGO 🦩 (standing on one leg) and write with my left hand to trick my brain back to normal.
It´s flaming...
Tips and word-creation by fK.
She decided for a FlamINGO after the fire as she knows I am very afraid of fire...(I lost much of my right hearing and with that balance that I need to regain for my halfbike - my admin mT is really after me with this!).
My new glasses arrived! My brother wrote my whole name and for himself "Mr. K" - I think my company will get we are related....
Beer at Jürgen´s Brewery!
Friday: Day off for both of us (Ingo needed to bring his car to the garage again).
He came home on foot with the most yummiest breadroll for me!!!
A new place he found, Brötchenmanufaktur (Bread roll factory - we have a cheap "backery" They call themselves: Back Factory - "Back" from "backen" - to bake. I always think of the human back - Rücken, why mix German and English????)
Either way, Ingo said he wants a Roastbeef-breadroll for me. That he managed in German (Roastbeef is roastbeef in German, too. But then.... think... think... with.... ... "horse radish" - the dude understood! Meerrettich is the German word.
Languages live - I need to accept this!!!!
Super-yummy, hot,hmmm, .
Doorbell. Huge guy with a huge parcel.
My Aussie pies arrived! The cooling material took off all the space, phew!
I wonder how the posties handle elderlies or Turkish people. Apart from a happy "Tschüß!" he only spoke English and French. In a mix. Glad I speak both...
But!!!! Whilst German posties just throw the parcels in the hall (mostly) these guys ring your bell and ask what to do (somehow always ours. Is there a note "lady working from home"?)
Either way, those pies are frozen.
What did Ingo do parallel? Order 50 frozen horse-sausages. We have a small freezer.
We´ll play "freezer,or horse-tetris"...
Weekend: Saturday: No yummy breadroll but some beautiful flowers from Ingo.
💙💛
Pie (Chillie-cheese) was... nahhhhh....
Sadly then ... as life goes.
Sunday: Ingo´d bought gear to help me with my internet-problem. The instruction is unclear and ... kabooom. I am too "dumb". Maybe he is right, maybe the AI that wrote the instruction is, it did not work. Pie Spinach-cheese was yum:
YUMMYYYYY... will order this again!
Sunny but too cold.
One more:
"Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes
On the error of designations
I am a Jew, a Swiss, a human being and only a human being, without any special ties to a state or a national entity."
Why can´t we all be like this?
Do I feel German? Not really. Some German words I have no clue of.
French, yupp, a bit still, and English is no problem, mostly. I can order beer in Spanish (maybe I am German after all). Would love to know Italian.... when I retire, I tell ya, I´ll learn that! And return!
Ingo will book a bus-holiday with a guide again and off we will go! In 20 years maybe...
I am 52 now. 67 they said, till retirement. Politicians will "lift that up".
If ESE keeps me that long, OK....

It's such a fun blog. Really nice to read. If I had to choose two things: FlamINGO and that jungle in your room. Love it. Oh and Einstein of course. In twenty years I'll be dead. So I must warn you now about a tour with a guide. Be careful, I was 72 a mont ago and we had a tour with a guide. It was not a good one! I should have known better and so must you!!!
The roast beef roll looks terrific! I'd eat that but without the horseradish. I would eat just the roll even without the beef, it looks so good. Sad the one pie wasn't good, but glad the spinach cheese is good.
I cannot have living plants inside because of my asthma, if the potting soil gets even a little bit mouldy I am in big trouble.
Bertiebo! People get older these days! You still have loads, I bet!!!!

River the roll was great because also of the radish - I like it hot!
Asthma is bad, I am so glad and thankful I am mostly healthy!
And yes, that spinach pie, hmmmmmm, YUM!
...a bread roll would be great right about now!
It was sooooo yummy!
I love flimINGOs. I saw around a dozen of them last week, so your pun took me a minute.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Love the journal pages and the sweet Max, Iris.
Mae, hehe thanks goes to fK!

RedPat, thank you and Max says hi!
I'd gladly join you for a beer - Prost! I love cheese and spinach pie, it always reminds me of my travels 😊. Max looks so sweet in Dreamland ❤️. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
Love the monster, it had me laughing. :)
Your food looks delicious. Lovely Brötchen and pies. Yes, I remember you were afraid of fire. I remember the first time you lit the oven! You hasve come such a long way since then!
Great photo of Einstein as a young man. I'd never seen that one.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Max has a very long tail, doesn't he? I hope he has sweet dreams. And I love the idea of beer in the parking lot. We kind of have some places like that here too. And I always get a kick out of your journal. Monster file had me smiling. I hope it was a happy T day. When I work in the morning at the lake I don't have time to comment until later in the day. hugs-Erika
Your food photos are so appetizing!
Jo, Prost! And to pies and dreaming, hugs x

Bill, well that was some monster!

Lisca, oh. I must on your nerves with my fear of fire then!... Sorry.
I came a long way because of all of you! Thank you!

Erika, fK said the Max-pic has a weird perspective,his tail is normal, LOL. But he is and always was very skinny - despite he eats so much!
In summer the brewery is really fun.
Crazy the monster is liked, hehe and hugs

magiceye,it really was so yummy!!
I love how you described the project as a monster! That was the best, although all your drawings and recountings this week were good. So glad you have a supportive work environment and colleagues!
Another wild and busy week for you. I like roast beef sandwiches on rolls with yellow mustard or as we say in my house mouse turds. I wonder what AI would make of that. 😺
