T STands For Oh My!

 

With this... who can resist this? I can not. And I join Elizabeth´s T with it.
Trocken means dry. I do not like sweets, and I love the colors of the rainbow.
 I am German, I usually prefer beer. But you get me with a good design!
Cheers!
 
The journal:
 
 
 Monday: unproductive. Studies are STUPID!!! The subject is a pain, the person who wrote this should rather write a novel. Nothing technical.
 

Tuesday: fK via WhatsApp: "phone?" - "Please, yes!"- "Good to hear your voice!" .. ummm... thanks to technology I know how others hear my voice.
First time I was 4 years old and Dad recorded me singing along. I never sang again.
Awful!!!
Then via teams.
How can people even stand me/my voice??? Awful!!!
Can you relate???? (Yes, I know, through the bone)
"Good to hear your voice..." ... ? Whilst typing I have sweet Adriano Celentano via BOSE.
That, my friends, THAT is a beautiful voice!


Wednesday: Still struggling with the nonsense. So much blabla.

 
Thursday:   Only "BLA". Had a question, no answer - waited day 3!!!



 Friday: ... "Rate this lesson".

 
Weekend: Saturday: Soup. A soup I do not like. I did not starve and Ingo has loads to feed himself...

Sunday: Gepetto. Lucca. Pinoccio. A Fairy tale.
Ingo: "It was raining!!!" We were in Lucca in 2015.
Gritt took care of me. She had a brolly. Also I LOVE rain.
Sometimes it is "good" to be small, I fit in. Ingo went wet. He does not love rain.

Turn on the sound, if you like, please! Ridere!!! Laugh along - even though it can get sad! But don´t you just have to LOVE the Italian language? (I am still at German, buhuu).


Later in "Once upon a time"...  a sextant was needed. Went to Ingo´s room. He has a sextant (of course) but it was not built yet (of course!!!). Man, you!!!!

 
Munchy: 


So darn yummy I ate the whole thing! Tasted like 1995, Darwin, NT.
 

 We had 2 at once, left 2 in the car for the night - still hot, YUM. We stayed for days. Gone in 1999... I was like really sad. And I will order more pies - hmmmmm, yum.
 
The series:
"Are these the worst decisions in history?
 

 
Accepting the Trojan Horse

When the Trojan troops dragged a giant wooden horse through the gates of their city, they saw it as a parting gift from their Greek enemies, who were tired of fighting and sought an honorable peace. But the Trojans bitterly regretted their decision when they learned that the hollow horse contained a Greek force that sneaked out after dark to open the gates and let in the rest of the Greek army. Troy was sacked, and the war was over."

I hate to admit it, but I also have bought wine I will never drink, just for the label.

I have heard my voice and it doesn't sound a bit like the recording. It's an ear thing. I think others like your voice, Iris.

Had to laugh at the Rate Me. I can only imagine what you were thinking (grin).

Actually your soup sounds good. Sorry it was not what you wanted. The spinach cheese pie looks good, too.

The Trojan horse was probably the greatest victory ever for the Greeks. Thanks for sharing your wine and your calendar with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Dear, dear host, what to say. "Thank you" - you made me smile very big with ALL you said!
For falling for labels, our voices...
The soup, fK called me and we evaluated it: the taste of soap (soap!!) is the ... one of the legumes. You grow up with it or you don´t.
Is pie also American? Not available here but from the Aussie who moved to Bonn near Cologne!
That horse, oh, my. I´ll keep on "studying" and it feels like someone is inside, .... Happy T-Day, to fun mostly!

I like a dry wine too, and that label would have attracted me too. I'm not much of a connoisseur so I buy wine based on the labels much of the time. And Your journal pages show your stress. Hope this week is going better, and enjoy your wine. It will help with your stress-but you know that I'm sure. Happy T day. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

To brains?

Empire of the Cat said...

I don't know what you're studying but I hope it gets better. I only eat vegetable soups, I wonder what vegetable is the problem flavour? Happy T Day Iris, have a good week.

RedPat said...

Not a great week, Iris. Hopefully this one will be better.

Let's Art Journal said...

Loving that spinach pie, pies iare sold at bakeries here in Lancashire, meat and potato pie is one of my favourites 😊. I hope your week is getting better compared to last week and sending you Happy T Day wishes! Roar to Henry too ❤️. Hugs, Jo x

Good drink and yummy pie. Good memory of the Trojan horse -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com

CJ Kennedy said...

Mmm, wine and spinach pie. Though I do prefer sweet white wines. Happy T Day

My name is Erika. said...

I remember that apron, and it made me smile this time too. I dont't think it would look right on my page though- ha-ha-ha, but you never know. :) hugs again-Erika

yum your pie looks really good! I have spinach growing in my garden, I should make this sometime. I have to admit hearing my own voice makes me cringe too, I can't even stand to hear my voicemail.

Bill said...

A friend of ours just gave us some spinach which we had with tofu and veggies. Loved it. To a better week for you, Iris.

Jeanie said...

Hang in there. School can't go on forever! Those spinach pies look great!

Lowcarb team member said...

There are some wonderful labels on wine bottles now.
My favourite wine is a Sauvignon Blanc.

The Aussie Spinach Cheese Pie looks tasty.

All the best Jan

DVArtist said...

You are so funny. These drawings made me laugh. Thank you .

Iris Flavia said...

It is wonderful to learn the design-concepts are catchy! I am sorry, I did not want to show stress, but, well. It is frustrating indeed... To a better week and thank you for being there, hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Technical Writer. Sounds so simple and actually is - I did all this for real, in time, customer was always happy. Now I have theory, such nonsense...
Leek. Leek to me tastes like soap!

Iris Flavia said...

Sorry it shows so clearly... it is frustrating...

Iris Flavia said...

Lucky you with the pies, here you only get sweet ones. Or cold pizza. Oh, well, I know how to "help myself", hugs!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, the Trojan horse is scary to me!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, enough wine each time then :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Well, who knows, the apron sure is fun :-) hugs again!

Iris Flavia said...

Yay to spinach and bleh to our voices!

Iris Flavia said...

I have tofu here, too, yum! And yes, must be better....

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, yes, only till December 31st.... mimimi...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to both!

Iris Flavia said...

So good I could make you laugh!!!

River said...

Henry at the end looks like he is laughing. I never buy wine, I don't like it so why waste my money? Even if the label is beautiful. I can take a photo of that and leave the wine on the shelf in the shop.

River said...

Leek is from the onion family, shouldn't taste like soap, maybe the parsnip?

Lisca said...

Yes, that wine has a lovely label. I buy wine according to its grapes as I know what I like. I like dry white wine. But I have never drank Silvaner & Grauburgunder.
I really enjoyed Celentano and his chitchat with the children. Of course I understand what he is saying so that makes it even more attractive.
Oh your studies! Hang on in there. It can't go on forever.
Yes, it's really strange to hear your own voice recorded. I had to get used to it the first few times.
Oh that pie looks delicious. I love pies. I'm going to England next week and I will certainly eat some pie.
Yes, the Trojan Horse certainly wasn't their finest moment...
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

I was left some wine where I'm house/dog sitting...but will take it with me to an Easter Day Lunch today, as I really only drink fruit juices. Food looks yummy! I read somewhere that they built the Trojan horse out of all their smashed ships after a battle. HappY Very late Happy T day the internet has been off and on, where I'm staying, and have a Happy Easter! (Lyn))#13
