Tea-Rex aka Rexi is so happy to have (at least) two teas a day - and these come with quotes in German and English, too. Advent-calendar teas! With that I join Elizabeth´s T.
"Wenn du machst, was du sagst, wirst du geschätzt." ("If you do what you say, you will be valued.") and "Bless all in the meditative grace of your mind". Cheers!
The journal:
Sadly mSA is sick.
Later went to REWE and had a nice chat with Bea - she wore Christmas-earrings - reminding me I need mine for Thursday aka Christmas party - and she happily wore a Santa´s hat, too.
And Henry is in Berlin! Showing the science "made in Braunschweig"!
Quantum-Future is (also) made in Braunschweig!
Tuesday: mSA... signed sick, yet asks me if the document is ready to sign and thanked me for checking all windows-documents.
I am to tell "my boss" we need the documents ready by tomorrow evening. I said, "OK, in your name! I´m the trainee!"
Nothing from that darn tecteam/tekom. Did I pass?
Have the doors in Brussels now - I think maybe that is a sign. It is very complicated - if I master Alstom might want to keep me.
Wednesday: Oh, boy. 10+ hours of work. In the end no one could concentrate and we decided to let go. Wished mDA1 a happy 🥚🥚-Abend - my Bro could not pronounce the "F" before "e" and instead of "Feierabend" shouted "Eierabend" to everybody when the work day was done.
mDA1 wished me (I delivered an explanation of course) an 🥚-Abend, but that would be an "Eiabend" - woah, did I mention no one could concentrate no more? He laughed.
Promised to start at 06:00 a.m. tomorrow, forgot I work at ESE from 09:00 on! Let´s see...
mSa sadly really had to leave the project, but ... well Brussels for me anyways.
Thursday: Started 06:00 a.m. On last dot we got the window-tram-docs ready. Weee. mDA1 showed me once he uploaded the documents IN the meeting with the customer even!
Ran to ESE to work there further and later mCA said my documents were much better than the ones he got before - I hope they keep me, hope mDA1 saw/feels like that, too.
X-Mas party... see here if you like. My Christmas-earrings were a hit, btw.
Friday: Sad news, a post on it´s own cause I need to digest.
Got a lot done. Recycled paper, plastic, got rid of garbage, ATE FISH!!! (I don´t like fish but Ingo found a way) and added the.most.yummy.potato-mash with the help of his new Peugeot!
Show
"People, Pictures, Emotions 2025" - one guest a TV-person. Her face.
Not a wrinkle. When talking, not a wrinkle, no mimic. Her neck: Like an old
turkey. 
How to age in.... disgrace? googled her, born 1965.
What does she see in the mirror? What does she expect people to see, to think? Sad...
Weekend: Saturday: Ingo got the Aussie-visa!!!!!!!
Condition #8528 - No criminal convictions"
You get into Germany so easily but Australia... smarter people there - glad we never ended up in prison or such 😉
But... wouldn´t it be "We have granted you an eVisitor..." ??? Please correct me!!
fK ordered a visa for India in Germany. They didn´t deliver in time. Her business trip... down the drain. Germany 👿 - Alstom asked her last minute - I feel so sad for her!!! An adventure lost!!!!
Sunday: The usual.
fK is OK with having lost the India-highlight. I so wished she can go. Stupid,STUPID German bureaucracy!!!
Ingo just yelled at me and is right, though he does not understand what I go through.
We have "tough times" since two years...
"Habits of the 1960s that would be unthinkable today
Few rules apply to flying
Awareness of the negative effects of smoking was limited, so it was a widespread habit. Smoking was generally permitted on airplanes, even when small children were present."

Dear friend Iris, Henry is in a different body...a domestic cat 🐈 😻 I love ❤️ your sketches. I like the old black and white flying photo. I never heard of Advent calendar teas.
Sending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love.
Hello,
The Advent teas are new to me, were they good?
I hope all is going well with your visa?
Cute image of little Henry hiding.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Dear friend Linda, hihi Henry is de-costumed! Oh, you don´t have tea-advent-calendar? The warmer the hugs sent today! 🥰
Hello, yes, so far each tea was good! Yupp visa are here! To a good day!
Work sounds so very busy but they seem to love you, so that's a good thing. I like the idea of an advent tea. I hope your visa arrives and soon!
It sounds like you've been busy with work and Christmas parties and planning for your trip. I thought it was the place you were going that issued the visa, but perhaps I miss read you. And I love that tea-rex. I'd buy that if I saw it in the store. And fun Christmas earrings too. Happy holidays-even if it is still a couple of weeks away. And enjoy your warmth- it's very cold here again. hugs-Erika
...Iris, I wish you a tea-lightful day!
“Love this! ‘T Stands for Granted’ is such a clever twist — bold, fun, and full of personality. It instantly grabs your attention and leaves you curious for more. You really have a knack for making simple words feel powerful.”
Love your journal drawings, Iris. Look at all the space in that plane!
The visa is here :-) Just my friend didn´t get hers for her work-trip to India, very sad.
Yes, Ingo got our Australia-visas - the Indian one for my friend is still on the way and too late, she would´ve needed to be on the plane this morning. Aw, well, at least she says Christmas time with her kids is more important... Hugs to that, huh?
... thank you, Tom!!!!
Thank you! Very much!
Yes, RedPat - I am for once glad I am small - Ingo sure will have to make himself fit for the long flights...
Good and bad news... hmm-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Yes, reckon the bad ones might take over...
I'm sorry your colleague didn't get her visa for India. I didn't realise one was needed. But you have your Aussie visas all done and dusted. Not long now!
I love the ginger cat in Henry's manes. He looks a lot like my Ronnie.
A few years ago I had a tea-advent calendar (with Pukka teas). I really liked it.
Your earrings are cool.
Here's to Christmas parties!
Lisca
Iris all your teas look wonderful! Lovely sketches! I hope you have a wonderful week and lovely earrings. Very cute. Thank you for your visit to my blog. Happy T Day!
An up and down week! But getting the visas is very good! I always enjoy your journal, a great way to track your life.
I do enjoy seeing your journal drawings.
Happy T Day.
All the best Jan
Yes, it should be aN e-Visa. So sorry about the lost India trip. I like your Christmas earrings! I have many pairs and need to choose some to wear to the twins tomorrow and for the Christmas lunch day.
The tea advents are very pretty, but I'm not a fan of flavoured teas much, I like lemon&ginger, and chamomile&spearmint, and peppermint too, but mostly I stick with English Breakfast when I'm not having coffee.
I will never have my face made wrinkle free. I earned those wrinkles and I am proud to be aging.
Yes, India would´ve been such an adventure! At least Perth it will be. Well, get a mane for sweet Ronnie? Yes, the earrings are from... Perth!
Maria, the teas are fun-yum indeed.To the season and fun times!
Sue, thank you, yes, the days fly by, I need to keep them to stay sane ;-)
Thank you, Jan, it´s fun keeping track like that.
Good, thank you, I´m a pea-counter (German saying?) I see such stuff with aN... Reckon where the earrings are from :-) And in Freo around Christmas they have them on the street lamps! A bit bigger, of course. I have too many sorts of tea but then my stomach cannot have coffee anymore!
Yes, well, I don´t like my wrinkles but I sure don´t wanna run around with a mask as a face! She looked ridiculous, and then that neck, brrrrr...
Advent calendar teas. I had one of those one year. An adventure in every cup. Your Christmas earrings are very cute. Happy T Day
Yes, I love the surprises! Thank you, earrings from Perth :-)
Tea is welcome anytime.
