T STands For Pizza

... which is my ticket to Elizabeth´s T. Wine with bread??? Just read on....

The journal:
 

Monday: Weee... "serenade" by Bro and Nieces via What´sApp, T via What´sApp and then teeth cleaning by hand. Doc came in. "My fav patient", she grinned and was done in: under one minute!!! All good! Under.one.minute! Birthday call from fK, What´sApp  and otherwise a quiet, sunny, cold day.
 

Ordered Truffle-Pizza!! Something went wrong, money came back - I had a "Birthday-bread" instead... see pic above.

 

 

Tuesday: Found all gear for Perth, suitcases smell like cellar but thanks to AI I will hopefully get rid of that.
Parcel for Ingo. I was to sign with my finger on a smartphone. Ummm.  But she was content with it - even if you can never track that back to me! 
Truffle-Pizza!!! Certainly I got an accident-one. But... YUMMY! "The code, please". "There was no code submitted..." - "last two numbers of your phone?".... thinking, thinking.... getting old! I had to get the whole number through my brain.
 
 
Wednesday: When the day starts with, "good morning, my love", then it must become a good day, right? My fav check-out woman. After I got rid of paper/cartons after preparing them, did laundry... Reckon I´m fully recovered. Did banking - additional tax payment that high I could not transfer in one piece! Did employment office stuff, more recycling paper, dishes, suitcase#1 is covered in baking soda - it funnily even has my surname:
 
 

ThursdayHELP!!! I am to give all documents for tax return (I give that away again) till March 02nd. I thought I have more time!!!! Asked back.. "Oh, sorry, I thought you wanted to have it done earlier... we need to have it ready March 2nd 2027"...  Do.Not.Think!
My bank has humor. When  you do nothing for a longer while you do something... "Logout. You have successfully logged out." 
 
 
Friday: Puzzling about. It is stupid but... I hate travel, so much can go wrong. Beaming???
But then... I´d have no job in railway... 
Railway... got my "certificate" for the training. I am "exemplary, constructive, collegial, recognized, competent, valued... active, successful." I Hope that means they take me back, I so hope!!!! Or is this too much sugar and means good-bye?
 
Weekend: Saturday: Bad news:
 
 
Reckon those strawberries are gone. Glad I have some more and hope they made it. First time I see this.
 
Other ... last stuff for holiday bought. I hate traveling. So much can go wrong. I hope when this publishes we have arrived.
 
Weekend: Sunday: Die Maus, the beginning is in German, followed with the same in another language, which is revealed when done. It was...: Austrian! See!!! I DID struggle with the Vienna-team! It counts as foreign language! I so had to laugh! Because by now I understand. ... more or less.
Ingo insisted on going to the Steak House. And there was the CUTEST waiter ever! He looked Italian/French and was in such a GREAT mood! 
Let my tenant know via What´s App I´ll be gone to Perth and if something´s on.... she called me on the dot and we had a nice, long chat. Nice as in.... her Hubby has passed. Oh. She is 77 and still so positive. I need to meet her some time (I inherited the apartment from my Mom).

Munchy: Better late than never and now the little wine Ingo got for Christmas 2024 (!) is finally empty -  I added truffle oil -  I will do this always maybe now?


 

The internet series - I spare you the boring ones...

"These mathematicians changed the world 

 

Isaac Newton (1643–1727)
 
Isaac Newton, one of history's most famous polymaths, discovered calculus. He also developed a method for approximating the roots of a function and classified most cubic curves of the plane."
 
As still written in Braunschweig...

 Hope all went well. We´re on the way to Perth. I am offline...

Happy Birthday -- it sounds pretty good. (Lots of truffle pizza and it loos great!). Sorry to hear about the taxes but you'll be fine. I'm sure you are super excited. (I have to loo up your AI strategies for refreshing luggage!)

Liebe Iris, dann wünsche ich dir erstmal nachträglich alles Gute zum Geburtstag und zweitens eine wunderschöne Zeit in Perth! Du hattest ja schon so lange Sehnsucht danach.
Was die "Fremdsprache Österreichisch" betrifft, die gibt es so einheitlich ja eigentlich gar nicht. Ich nenn dir hier mal ein Beispiel: Tannenzapfen. Die heißen bei uns im Wiener Raum Bockerl. In Kärnten Zopfn. Und in Tirol Tschurtsch(e)n. Oder wie gefällt dir das: In Wien sagt man häufig Fisolen, im Burgenland oft Bauscharln (Bohnenschalen), in anderen Teilen Österreichs oder Deutschlands eher grüne Bohnen oder Stangenbohnen. Und du weißt ja inzwischen, dass auch "Passt" unterschiedliche Bedeutungen haben kann. Aber ich bin mir sicher, dass es in deinem Fall (und bei deiner tollen beruflichen Bewertung) einfach nur "Es passt alles, alles bestens!" bedeutet hat! 😊👍🏻 Und jetzt: Sicheres Reisen!
Alles Liebe , Traude

Alles gutte zum Geburtstag (ein bischen spät) Pizza good choice for birthday. Safe travels and have an amazing trip

River said...

Happy Birthday, my sister has a birthday today (28th) and is also now 77. I have a half pizza leftover from yesterday so I don't have to cook tonight. A tip for when you get home agai, when storing suitcases, fill them with scrunched up newspaper to help absorb any dampness or smells and sprinkle in the baking powder/soda at the same time.

Happy birthday and enjoy Perth, Iris!
