Recap 2025 ... A Bit Late

 

 

Jeanie inspired me to this - this was January 2025 - I try to recap best moments... (I was so happy to still have my job!) 

 

Let me head to February:

 

 

 It was too cold, though... Take it to Perth? Pressie by Ingo.

 

March... 

 

 Pressie by... Ingo!

 

April... 

 

 

 

My friend´s "wife" thinks .. I dunno - Vegemite you spread very, very thin - the next 5 years I´ll eat Vegemite-sandwich! And if some Pomm pops in, I have Marmite, too - no discussion 😘

I put wife in "" as they are not married. They have twins but would not profit from the system for them, or themselves, just because they are women - Germany, behind the rock. 

 

 

You can help by sending a post card and twice I got one back! Only twice which I think is good.

 

Once I donated to a German institution and year after year I got cheap "pressies" until I told them off.  THAT was where my money went to?! I did not help people in need I helped a German institution - I was young, had my first job, not much money, I was shocked and angry.

No ad, but if you wanna help our helpers... here. 

 

May... 

 

 

Both pair of socks knitted by Ingo´s (late) Grandma - do I miss her - we lived with her.

And when Ingo had to move out every second weekend I visited (Ingo lived still in Rhüden, me in Braunschweig) we popped by and even before we reached her door she ripped the door open and went: "My Children!!!" I´m wearing another pair of her socks right now.

Note my tops differ so there is something left for Elmo... And that became her hobby - I found her on the ground sorting rests of wool so we get:

 

 ... for the whole family.

 

 I think the plant dies - it was too cold!

 

June... 

 

 And...

 

 "We" ... "stole" them from the woods and I rescued some to Braunschweig.

 

July... 

 

 

I hate! to travel without Ingo and by accident they gave me this bed to attend in a crazy city (Dortmund) a very stupid seminar. Did I feel lonely... (only my bed-side lit).

 

 Let´s hop to August...

 

 

 Turns kinda in an hommage, huh?

 

September... 

 

 

Let me tell you... I cried of joy. I cried of joy. The Alstom-laptop was delivered to my door by my teamlead fE even!

 

 

Having my job back - if only as trainee - the flowers traveled from my private PC to work PCs and back again - such a wonderful feeling!!!

To be productive at work and loved at home.

 

On to October... 

 

 

In the 1970´s my Grandma bought detergent Pril because of the flower-stickers - they are back, the stickers!

 

 

 

And I presented myself with a Halloween-calendar and they all piled up by Ingo´s tram and train!

 

Huh, November already! 

 

 

fK asking me for a call and my glue-engineer mSA asks the same! mDA1 just calls. I like to be prepared (having Rexis I need to plan )Rexi is a huge cup of tea and... meep).

How do you do that? Some really in a middle of a teams-meeting say, "sorry, I need to go!".

 

 A crooked tree ended up here and Ingo presented me with a new lamp!

 

 Now finally, December:

 

 

 Henry 🦁  of course was the happiest, having his people all around him!

 

 

I got my X-Mas-Pressie: 98% I get my job back!

Red coat is Gurri on the left, right side fK. All others were on holiday already or working from home (yes I am small...).

 

 2025 had it´s up and downs. Let´s count the ups, right?

 

"Yippeeeee!!!" says this astronaut! 

He´s a key holder and pocket lamp I could not resist - maybe a she, I don´t care even, we are people - also nice: I said to my customer: 

 

"Are you allowed to put on a meeting with others for me, I´m but a trainee!" - 

"You are my colleague!!!" - and he used the male form, "Kollege", not KollegIN". One thing fK and I are of different opinions, but most of my life I worked with men only, was the only "woman" and treated like a man.

 

To let us being PEOPLE. 

 

Have a happy Sunday!
