I could by no means resist this "drink of tomorrow" to join Elizabeth´s T-party!
Thank you, dear host, for keeping me curious on new drinks!
The journal:
Monday: LOL, As Emperor I certainly get a document from the King!
One reason I kept my surname when we married.
Not sure now if I want to go to Vienna. mSA told me the problem with "certain" people is much bigger in Austria than in Germany... Because the politicians didn´t learn from Merkel´s failure, is that true...
LOL he walks everywhere, too. Wanted to see where Braunschweig is and google maps showed the way on foot. That would be a longer hike! It´s so fun working with him I worked over an hour longer... So sad he is just borrowed to the team...
QUEEN with "Don´t Stop Me Now" at The Simpsons!!!
Tuesday: Went to ESE... took a brolly, as rain so strong, TV-signal died... arrived dry but the new boss stood outside grilling sausages for us. I was the only one with a brolly - one like my Gurri just in violet with white dots, LOL, he took it. Not very "manly" ;-)
Had a talk with the CEO and a former team-leader, met my female team-leader. Ingo was right, show your face!
Wednesday: Good day at work!
Evening: "Look Who's Back!" on TV, Hitl#r arrives in 2014, insecure and down! And boy, did he go at Merkel! And... "Even Poland does still exist - on GERMAN ground! I could´ve skipped the whole war!" His uniform is at a "Blitz"-cleaner. He is astonished about the saying "disillusionment with politics". Quite a movie.
"It is 20:24* and from now on we send back!" he says in a "comedy-show" on TV.
*08:24 p.m.
2014... 2025 we still have "disillusionment with politics"...
Thursday: I get to know more and more friendly people at ALSTOM! All Czechs, but speaking German. Not their job to help me, but they do!
No one has an idea who´s supposed to do what, it seems.
And they see I´m an external, too! (shows in the address), yet, they happily help.
Called the doctor for meds for my arm. Would have to meet. No! You wait 1+hours, people have the flu etc, etc, no! Will try the pharmacy.
Evening: Going in Style - wonderful movie!!! Great actors.
Friday: All say good-bye and run into holiday. But me...
But soon... end of January we´ll be off, too.
Weekend: Saturday: Sooo tired. Is it possible my arm/torn muscle does this?
Getting old...
I´m not pale, btw. The scanner hates the color pink!
Sunday: Löwenzahn, Die Maus and fairy tale, a boring one I quit... Called Bro. 48 years old this day!
Munchy:
The cheapest 1970´s food Ingo came home with.
Familiar with this, too? Ravioli...
Toast Hawaii would be more to my liking but that´s from the 1950´s...
When people dreamed of going to Hawaii and all they had was toast and pineapple...
The Headless Ghost of the Spanish Governor
One of the oldest ghost stories, which takes place along Route 66 long before it became Route 66, begins in 1600 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It all began when the Spanish governor of Santa Fe fell in love with a local woman and sought the help of two witches who brewed a love potion for him to give to the woman."
More to come...
The countdown to creep:

...Iris, I had to look up the term brolly. You terach me something new every day!
LOL, Tom, I had to learn the hard way ;-) "Um-brel-la!!!" It was a friend and he just teased me.
Haha, the CEO with the polka dot brolly! You seem to have a great team.Yes, show your face, get to know people and let people get to know you.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Lisca, thank you! For 3 years I was hiding and now "I show my face"...
Happy TDay Iris! Love all your drawings. The first one looks like my husband. lol I hope your arm gets better. It's not fun being in pain. I send you hugs and prayers. I love ravioli and your pumpkin is so spooctacular! How was the drink? Your drawing of buzz is so cute. :) Have a lovely rest of the week!
How was the drink? Liked it?
Loved your sketches.
Henry does look scary!
It sounds like a pretty good week -- though the CEO and the brolly is a bit bold. But glad you are meeting colleagues face to face.
It sounds like you have a great team, Iris. I always enjoy your sketches.
Maria, here in Braunschweig we do almost everything on foot!
Plan: Start sport tomorrow! That arm had enough attention! Hehe, "spooctacular"! Cute word, the drink was... OK! Well, Buzz is actually the bad man ;-)
A pooka dotted brolly. So fun. Good to meet up with the team.
And the drink of tomorrow. Love that.
Happy T day!
It seems like a good group to work with. I had read about the Route 66 story before. Ohh what is that drink? Is it carbonated and what flavor.? Love your art. When my arm goes out I have to sling it for a few days to rest it. Then slowly exercise it. Also Ibuprofen to help with pain and inflammation. Hope you are better soon.
Great, sound like work is going well and meeting the team must have been fun 😊. Take care and Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
If Henry was more than a photo I would be scared. It must be absolutely frightening to have a lion charge you. And I want to read the rest of this story to see how it fits into route 66 because I don't think route 66 goes through Santa Fe. But I bet that city has lots of ghosts anyhow. (I love Santa Fe....it's one of my favorite cities.) How far would a walk to Austria be? Yes, I bet it's way longer than a hike. Or it would be a very very long hike. :) I hope you're having a super T day. hugs-Erika
yup we call it a brolly too but I can't imagine Tomato flavoured fizzy drink, sounds odd.
Route 66 did go through Santa Fe for a while, then was rerouted, but it still figures in public relations for touristy Santa Fe.
I must admit I love ravioli! And have it very, very seldom because too many calories. So sad.
I remember that movie. Great fun! And great cast.
It is so good to hear about your new job!
Dear friend Iris, your ravioli looks good 👍 Now Henry looks scary 😨 LOL
I absolutely love ❤️ all your sketches 💛
Warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love. 💖
I hope your arm is feeling much better. Take care of you. Thankyou for visiting my blog yesterday. If you enjoyed Western Australia in person, then you should visit my blog for lots more virtual travel. I enjoyed your week in sketches.
Pain is very tiring so I am not surprised you feel tired lately. I love ravioli, I buy the spinach and cheese one to have with a bolognese sauce. Your train gang looks so good now with all the little "people".
Well, it was a drink for another day, LOL.
Henry is just kidding, really! And.. thank you.
You have to be bold these days? I was just helping... the poor man stood in the rain!
Thank you, RedPat. And yes, a great team!
Thank you, yes brolly and coat go "side by side" - to polka dots!
Yes, ESE and also ALSTOM are great! The drink... raspberry, a bit, won´t buy it again but I love to try new things! Yes, still resting the arm and still pain killers, aw, well, things could be worse!
Well, I am an introvert and actually such meetings are "hard work"... but I managed 😊
Yes, I see Henry rather behind a very thick glass door, too... or, well "our" Henry high up on his stand, watching over us!
Walking to Vienna (you made me look it up!)... 159 hours/699km.... And I´d walk by Budweis, interesting!!! Pilsen, too. Reckon you get beer for free there, LOL!
Santa Fe sounds dreamy! Please, care to share some stories? To a great... now Wednesday, hugs
Raspberry, Pomelo and... uh, I recycled already! And won´t buy it again... not even tomorrow ;-)
One day I´ll visit the United States, so far it´s but a dream...
You?! You love ravioli???? You are "the" cook, the chef in my eyes!
Oh and calories, oh, gack.
Well, I´m but a trainee... Not a safe job at all...
Wish me luck I keep it!
Dear friend Linda, Ravioli is actually the cheapest junk food! When you had no time you bought that, oh, yuck 🤣 Obviously in my childhood... my Mom had not much time on her hands... But that makes... caring anyways and with that... warm hugs and much love on the way 🥰
Arm is... aw, well and YES, on my way to Perth again soon and on your blog for memories revived!
Yes, that and getting old(er). You have spinach-cheese-ravioli?! Now that sounds mega-yummy! Today the train gang is very happy!
I am so sorry to read about your arm. I can definitely empathize. And I can feel your pain.
Great calendar pages. Love the brolly and showing your face at work.
I LOVE ravioli. I used to get it in cans, but they discontinued it at Aldi. Not sure I'm ready for the drink of tomorrow, but it's great for T this week, dear Iris.
The arm will be OK soon. I hope! Thank you, dear Elizabeth, and weee.. you love Ravioli?Funny. A cheapy-food here!
Sounds like you like the people you are working with, and that they are helpful. Yes, Henry scares me, but he is adorable, too! LOL Happy T Day.
HIer gibt es zwar Ravioli, aber nicht die mit Fleischfüllung, die wir von Deutschland kennen. Kürzlich hatten wir Ravioli mit Fleischfüllung aus der Dose, mein Mann hatte sie irgendwo online entdeckt. Schmeckten nicht so toll. Ich war schon in D kein großer Fan davon.
In der Tat verlief Route 66 ein paar Jahre (1926-1937) durch Santa Fe. Das ist übrigens eine tolle Stadt, ich liebe Santa Fe.
