T Stands For Monsters


 With  this tea in a Maggi-Fest-Henry 🦁 - mug I join Elizabeth´s T.
 
The journal:
 
 
Monday: Work... BALCONY-TIME!!! It´s still (felt  finally) SUMMER!
Politicians (soon we all vote) wanna sent the real bad refugees, who rape women etc home.
Yah. Empty words.
 

Tuesday: fK said she "adores" how I trick myself through the documents - she would´ve given up. I don´t!!! It is really tricky. But I manage.
Braunschweig is in the news again. Dr. Winterkorn, ex-VW-boss has to declare himself in front of the law.
 
Learned: There are "Titanic-bacteria". Hm, well. Have never and will never watch the movie but saw some docu.  
 
BALCONY-TIME! 27C, sunny!!!!
 

Wednesday: 05:12 a.m.:  27C/80F!!!! Said my PC. Well... it came true later.
And put three  "monsters" to sleep. Ack, these documents come straight from hell. 
Written by TYPEWRITER!!!
 
Ukraine is suffering badly again - when will this war end.

1936 today the Currywurst was "born". This was in the news, too. 

 
 
 Back in the day my then "VW-Team-Boss" sent this song to every team-member on Thursdays, as that was "Currywurst Day" and we ALL went.
 
Volkswagen produces it´s own Currywurst that you can buy in some groceries here in Braunschweig (and other VW-places), see here. Own ketchup included.
Wiki: "The product has been described as the most-produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, with some 7 million sausages made in 2019."... I think they also build cars.

BALCONY-TIME. Suddenly the dark sky went so bright and then thunder....  A loooong roar from Mother nature. So wonderful.


Thursday: work and balcony time! Summer is late this year... And Jürgen´s Brewery.
 

Friday: Ingo booked Wilhelmshaven for his Birthday.  And then: Maggi-Fest!!! See here,if you like. 


Weekend: Saturday: Ingo booked Helgoland on top!! I need a barf bag!!! My Mom ate Labskaus from one when she went to work there to shock tourists (it looks like puke but is very yummy). 
Unlike my Brother I am fine on rocky boats and can do that, too! 
I still have the winter-coat Mom bought in the 1960 there.
 
On the balcony:
 
 
Not Word, of course ;-) 
 

On Maggi-Fest:
 

They also Had Einstein!
Sunday: Löwenzahn, die Maus and then Maggi-Fest.
 
 
I saw the most beautiful dress on sale.
After beer and burger we came back. One size fits all, €30. Ingo said: No! And a stranger mingled in!!!
Yes, maybe it was too much money, but it´d made me happy.
It was so beautiful. Now... maybe that was GOOD.
I don´t want any new clothes anymore. I have too many already!

Throw the "bad" food away, we have enough money but 30 bucks was too much.
How much worth is happiness.
I was mad. At myself. And at that stranger. You have no life on your own????
Ingo said "20", the vendor was not willing, we went without. So sad.
 
Munchy-wise:
 
 
Hey, it´s summer!!!
 
And, monsters,btw:
 
 
 "Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes 

About Madness 

Madness: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Well, I don´t do the same, but it is madness, too. 
Monsters get old here, see here about age, if you like.

Henry you saw in first pic 🦁
But here is my friend´s Granpa Max:


She near to never took pics of him, but now happily does for me and enjoys it.
Him... not so much!
He is 19 years old... I fear the day there will be no pic anymore.

Somehow currywurst has never come to the USA. I think I ate one in Germany once, but maybe it was just a hot dog. Funny how different countries have different comfort foods. That’s bizarre about VW.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com

...Ingo is a cheapskate!

CJ Kennedy said...

Yay for balcony days! I'm spending as much time as I can in the sunroom as soon it will be too cold to be out there. Max is very cute. Ink didn't like having his picture taken either. He would look straight at the camera and I'd be thinking this is a great shot. And then he would turn his head just as I snapped the picture! 😺 Happy T Day

Jeanie said...

What a full week! I've never heard of currywurst. We never NEED new clothes but sometimes we just love and want them, and that should be honored.

RedPat said...

I haven't bought any new clothes in ages. Haven't really been in many stores since covid.

Iris Flavia said...

Not even in Chattanooga (VW plant)?

Iris Flavia said...

Aw, well... Worst was that stranger who gave us his "idea"..

Iris Flavia said...

Well, I think balcony days are over here now.
Funny, do cats know what a camera is, I wonder?

Iris Flavia said...

Crazy you never heard of Currywurst!
Yes, I really was disappointed with not having that dress. But if it really was bad quality I would not have been happy, either..

Iris Flavia said...

It was outside in fresh air :-)

Lisca said...

I'm fascinated by the whole currywurst story. I have never heard of it, let alone knew it was made by Volkswagen. I listened to the song but couldn't understand a word (apart from 'Currywurst').
Ingo not letting you buy a dress? What is all that about? If you want to buy a dress, you go and buy a dress! I know you are on a budget but a little indulgence is healthy, and at the end of the day, you have a job and are earning money. I would be highly offended if my husband told me off about buying something. Obviously big things we would discuss, but 30 euros is not a big amount.
Sorry, it's none of my business....
Happy T-Day
Hugs,
Lisca

Grandpa is looking good. Been a long time since I bought new clothes, I always look around charity shops and see what they have and usually I can find what I need.

Iris Flavia said...

Strange, I thought the VW-Currywurst was known everywhere. The song is about Currywurst in general.
He sings in slang from Bochum. After work many have that dish, it´s an "hommage" :-)
Yes I was mad at Ingo, but then it was maybe really bad quality and then I would not have happy, either.
Ingo can sew and can see if good or bad.
Other he showers me with pressies, flowers etc, so,all good! :-)
Hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Granpa is cute , but my fried feels the age.
I actually must get rid of clothes!!!!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I would have been by earlier, but I ate something yesterday that made me very sick. Now I'm trying to visit around bouts of nausea, etc.

Never heard of currywurst. Ah, VW in the news again. Not good for those who drive them in the states. Ingo should make you happy if you can afford it. Sad. Love your balcony time.

LOVE that awesome lion on the mug. It's perfect for T!! So nice of you to join Bleubeard and me for T this Tuesday.

I do like mango.

My name is Erika. said...

Oh I want a smiley typewriter. Even a smiley computer keyboard would be nice-grin. Did you get a 14 day tattoo? And that radio is vintage. Or at least it looks it. I love the Henry on your mug too. I hope it was a super T day. I had a great sculpture park visit and I'll share some on Friday. hugs-Erika

magiceye said...

Wow! Volkswagen makes currywurst too?!! Not at the expense of cars i hope!

Iris Flavia said...

Hope you are better by now,I felt buggy yesterday, also...
I worked for VW 16 years as external,so... mixed feelings.
Ingo can sew and saw the bad quality of the dress. I was just mad at the situation in general.
Yes, I love that mug, too :-)

Iris Flavia said...

The Currywurst at least is really high quality ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Those typewriter-documents yesterday were from hell, it took forever.
No I did not get such a tattoo. Summer is over,I were long clothes again,buhuuuu....
The radio has usb etc,it only looks old, but the station Ingo usually hears is vintage! I´m looking forward to your Friday-pics, hugs!

Iris Flavia said...

It was yummmy!

River said...

I have a little madness, every week over and over I buy a lottery ticket hoping to win and be rich or at least a bit richer than now (I have nothing).
In my newspaper today I read this headline: "Germany gets tough on Border." then: Germany will tighten border controls and curb migrant inflows after several suspected Islamist attacks sparked public anger and piled pressure on the government. Temporary controls would be extended next week to Germany's land borders with all nine of its EU neighbours. These would limit migration ad "protect against the acute dangers posed by Islamist terrorism and serious crime."
There's more but too much to type here. Anyway, your country is doing something while mine happily lets anyone in! Grrr!

Iris Flavia said...

Wishing you luck with the lotto - big win!!!
In our news they said exact that was the plan - but left and green party voted against and nothing of all that will happen... the "no" to plans will produce more and more damage to our country.

The little white, what looks like an owl caught my eye, is it an owl?

Iris Flavia said...

Not sure what you mean - the tattoo? I think that´s Leath Hedger as "The Joker"...
