Spain, Greece, Turkey... they burn, they suffer of heat and us?
With this cherry-water I join Elizabeth´s T and pretend it is at least warm here...
Really. I cannot remember a summer that "bad", that "rainy". I love rain, but.... at one point, with the cold... ack.
The journal (not that this is better!):
Really. If I worked in a hotel I´d had a map to give for free when there is no cell-service available... Right???
Not everybody has a car! Some WALK!
Tuesday: Dortmund. Got lost again, mobiles get no data in that jungle hence no one could really help!
But I learned to ask and 100% friendly people (if not helpful).
Left early to catch the loudest train on Mother Earth. Nice fellow student to talk to before leaving (he had the same opinion I had).
LOUD. Did I mention it was not quiet on the train? 5 hours in NOISE! With one bad ear.
Wednesday: Knackered. Day off.
Ingo made a yummy dish and had fresh mushrooms left - so I prepared the tofu-mushroom-dish with sweet Adriano on the BOSE. Just what I needed. I mean... my Dad´s age.
Oh, the song about Pinocchio and all the "ridere" sure threw me back again to Lucca, where Pinocchio was "born" and where I got shelter from heavy rain (is rain a theme right now???) from our tour guide - glad again for being small! She was not that taller than me! No idea where Ingo was, I was safe and dry.
To die for. If you ever get the chance: San Gimignano. On the market place. A small hut with a looooooong queue.
Pile up.
So worth it!
Man, I´m drooling...
See why I love rain? Brings back memories...
Thursday: Telekurs on... booooring.
Friday: "Die unternehmenseigene Informationserfassung ist zu kombinieren mit dem gezielten Auswerten des technischen Schrifttums als gezielte systematische Beobachtung der Entwicklung des Standes der Technik" - have fun!
WHAT am I "studying"????? And I have but ONE monitor.
And I have Ingo. He fixed it all!!! 🥰
HEAVY RAIN!!
A good life!!
Weekend: Saturday: Watching "The Woman In The Yard". For some reason I have subtitles.
"The woman grunts - Charlie is barking."
"The Woman" is the Mama here! At least Charlie (the dog) gets treated properly, calling him by his name....
A scary movie about.... oneself!!!!
I am that women. You are her. Or maybe it´s a man in your case.
This is our fear. "She" comes closer. Slowly. You can talk to her.
It was an eye-opener.
A coincidence. ??? Yes?
I made SUCH PROGRESS in Dortmund.
Ingo not there, I HAVE to help myself. And I can. "More or less"...
Help yourself, that is what this movie is about (@Ingo... computer-stuff stays yours? Please).
Sunday: Chernobyl-DVD. Why again do I do that to myself?
To tell myself how lucky I am.
We are so close... picking mushrooms in the woods - NO! Forbidden in the 70´s.
That´s why I am so small (kidding). You know... my wood-strawberries that survive since 1974 and get taller by the year.
Die deutschen Puppen starben.... TRuppen, not Puppen. (History-channel)
See. No matter how miserable, I find something to "laugh" about.
Puppen > dolls. Truppen > troops.
I want to grab my right, near-deaf ear and shake it, really...
To a better week? Today I will lie.
I am not Siemens, Bill Gates or such.
Again they ask I install stuff on my PC and NO. NO MORE! Install heckdeheck for 3 days? No!
And I really want to learn this! But "my" company likely does not have ST4. so... pffft.
Henry 🦁

Fun today 😸
Hmmm? Was not that funny for me. But maybe I need to change my mind.
Wow, that's a lot of rain but the pizza looks so good and such a huge slice too -yum 😊. Loving Henry sticking his tongue out, roar! Wishing you a very Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
That's quite a week. I'm so glad your computer is fixed. Thanks, Ingo! Oh, I'd love a piece of that pizza right now!
I agree with Jeanie. You had quite week. And that stinks about your monitor but thank goodness for Ingo to fix it. :) And I'm only having breakfast but that pizza looks tasty. I hope it's a better week this week Iris. Happy T day. hugs-Erika
...send us your rain, we need it.
Sounds like a frustrating week, Iris. I hope this one is better.
Henry Is Worthy Of A Thousand Words There
Be Well ,
Cheers
Lots of stuff going on in your life!
I hate computers and tech stuff. It's sad that it is all necessary these days. Bah. This old lady gets tired of learning new stuff.
So much rsin! I feel for you, having to travel in that.
And here it is hot hot hot with no rain in sight!! I hate that people assume everyone drives and has a car!!
Hopefully you'll have a great week and some sun. Too much rain is depressing.
What a week you have had (I also read about your 'adventures' in Dortmund, what a nightmare!) but it seems you came out more confident and independent. Well done girl!
Ingo fixes your monitor. Haleluya! And that pizza looks yummy. It's making me hungry.
I love Henry sticking out his tongue.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
I'm the same with B and computers, usually i can figure it out but he's the technical one.
Eine Sache, die ich gelernt habe, ist Landkarten, Stadtpläne vor einer Reise runterzuladen, dann kann ich an sie ran, auch wenn ich keinen Empfang habe. Ich lade sie von Google runter und habe bisher nie ein Problem damit gehabt. Wenn ich sie nicht mehr brauche, lösche ich sie wieder. Vielleicht wäre das was für dich?
Sorry you are getting so much rain.
Part of the UK was under a Storm warning for wind and rain yesterday (Monday).
All the best Jan
Hi dear Iris, we could use some rain 🌧 here in Montreal, please feel free to send 😊 some. I love ❤️ your art, as always and Henry with his tongue sticking out made me laugh. Sending you a 🫂 🤗 hug, dear friend.
Awesome journal pages Iris, that pizza looks delicious too Hello to Henry hugs
This was the best slice of my life!!! 🍕Hugs x
When you visit London again, make a detour, I promise the pizza is worth it!
And yes, see... I EXPECT Ingo to fix it all by now...
The poor monitor was old... Not "his" fault - he warned me before he went up into flames.... And Ingo... tadaa... This week I plan to do nothing for those studies.... Just for myself ;-) Hugs to that. We need take care of ourselves from time to time, right...
On the way, Tom - it´s gone (not kidding!) - but please... send heat over here?
Yes, frustration it was, RedPat. So useless... And I really wanted to learn...
It´s Henry! He brings it on the dot... Cheers to that again!
Yes. What do we do without PC, Smartphone etc, etc... LOST we are.
12C. Do I need to say more? And I gave my company car away in 2018. No more circling around for a parking spot, no more ... I WALK! Happily.
Rain in warm weather would be OK. But, "LOL"... it was cold... still is, but sun is out.
Yes, Lisca, I came out stronger cause there are nice people everywhere!!! But for the tec-stuff I need Ingo. I scrub the toilet, haha, clichée!! But someone has to do that, too... And that slice of life, ohhh....
That thing actually warned me, thankfully. It could´ve "burned down the house".... Phew!
Ich hab das früher immer ausgedruckt... meep. Aber ehrlich. Würde ich beim Empfang arbeiten... kostet doch kein Geld... wäre Service. "Ich glaube" kann man in der Kirche aber nicht einen Gast so losschicken und nein, nicht jeder hat ein Auto. Egal. Nächstes Mal anderes Hotel... Und backup!!!!
Actually I like rain. Not just all the time ;-)
Thank you, dear Linda - as the sun is out you MUST have some rain? Sadly still cold here, 12C in August?! Summer? A warming hug was good, though, sending that back, too 🥰
LOL, Kathy. I read "awful" and thought, "hm, honest at least ... and correct". I think "The Woman in the Yard" freaked me out cause she was me... To correct reading, hugs!
It was a very busy hard week, but you made it through! That huge pizza slice looks delicious.
The week was from hell, that Pizza-slice from heaven! If you ever make it to ... YUM.... pick me up, please!
Hopefully, you'll get some Summer weather before the Summer is over. Cheers to you for being brave and asking for help. Happy T Day
That cherry water sounds delicious, so I wish I'd seen it when we were in Spain. I love all your whimsical drawings. Happy T Stands for...!
