T STands For Tired

 

 With this forest berries drink I join Elizabeth´s T.

The journal:
 

MondayFound an interesting site about our city, on Electrification it says: "As early as 1897, for example, the first electric tram ran from Augustplatz in Braunschweig to the district administration office in Wolfenbüttel."  - no wonder fate brought me there!
AI says the first one in Germany was in Berlin 1811 and came from...Siemens! That´s where I started with a train.
Here is another gem: "The development of a vertically launching rocket is Johannes Winkler's lasting achievement in the history of space travel." He did this in Braunschweig.
 
 
Tuesday: I feel sick. Oh, please nothing serious before the trip!
 
 
Wednesday: Still sick but a bit better. Nothing but surfing and watching series.
 
 
Thursday:  Better.  Still doing "nothing".
 
 
Friday:  Nearly good. Doing "nothing".
 
For River: our red kitchen:
 

 In our old apartment it took her Daddy as long to spot the painting on the ceiling (Ingo has the best ideas, right?!!)
 


Weekend: Saturday: Good, apart from Rotz and now dry coughing, too, off to the pharmacy to get meds. Facebook´d a bit. 
Trump praised  the Liberian leader for his good English and asked him where he learned that. It´s the national language in Liberia.
I sincerely hope that was an AI-joke. 
Ingo saved the journey back from Frankfurt. Jippeee. 
Sunday: Got up 04:30 cause Ingo complained I snore. Ya. With FAT Rotz - nose closed etc. 
I remember I slept in the living room on a cot uncomfortable for weeks cause of his snoring but that is another story.
New neighbors ...stomping around. 
Dentist tomorrow. There is nothing worse for me.

Munchy:

The internet series

"These mathematicians changed the world 

 

Archimedes (287–212 BC)
 
Archimedes was an ancient Greek mathematician from the Sicilian city of Syracuse. He studied geometry and made discoveries about spheres, cylinders, circles, and parabolas. He is also known as the inventor of pulleys and pumps."

  1. Nope. That Trump story is true -- it was part of his press conference with the Liberian president and took place quite a few months ago. (July 2025). I truly believe he is insane. (Trump, that is.) And terribly dangerous. I wish I could get out of this country. It will take forever to get it back to civility.

    1. Oh, boy. Then probably it is also true he stated the USA and Italy are allies since ancient Rome? That is scary.

  2. Hello Iris,
    I hope you are feeling better! I like the cow painting on the ceiling.
    Your art work is always fun, very creative.
    I am not a fan of T.rump, he is awful!
    Take care of yourself, enjoy your day and have a happy week ahead.

  3. Iris I truly hope you are feeling better! Wonderful artwork and have a lovely day and a restful rest of the week. I don't think that Trump is a good leader at all. He causes problems and not solutions. Feel better soon Iris!

  8. Henry's wife is quite the beauty. And I wouldn't be surprised if that was not a joke about Trump. The man is delusional. Glad to hear you are feeling better. No, you don't want to be sick on your trip at all...or at least I wouldn't want to be. And you are brave for drinking a drink with Chucky on the can. He's scary. I hope you're having a super T day. hugs-Erika

  9. I love your kitchen! It looks like such a happy place. Sorry you have been sick, though. It sounds like you had a miserable week.
    I am with Jeanie, wishing I could just leave. But we are not rich enough :/ No one wants old people who dont have oodles of cash. Trump is insane, and no one does anything to stop it. It feels so hopeless.
    Henry has a pretty lady!

    1. Thank you - a very, very, way too small happy place - but as compromise we have a loo! The toilet was part of the kitchen in earlier years... Yes, that sounds hopeless, really.
      Australia doesn´t even take you if you have money but are 50+... Yes,, Henry´s wife is a beaut!

  14. I'm so glad you're feeling better. You're definitely going to be OK for your journey. And I hope Ingo hasn't caught it.
    I like your bull on the ceiling. Olé!
    Yes, old orange face is an uneducated idiot.
    Wishing you all the best at the dentist.

  16. I am glad you are better. When is your trip? Is this the one to Australia? We have new neighbors, too. It is a father and three sons, one of which is a teen and has a noisy truck! LOL. They really don’t bother us though. Happy T Day.

  17. Yes, I sure am thankful! Next week we´re off to Perth! Oh, time so runs! Hope the neighbors ..aw. well...

  18. The tiles aren't boring at all and for me at least, it's better that the red is broken and not completely surrounding. It is a lovely red shade, my sister would love it. I don't like the red that is almost orange.
    I hope you are well enough to travel and odn't get sick again on the plane or in Australia.

    1. Sadly the tiles are on the floor as well and it always looks dirty with the shades. Maybe you´s like the living-room and hall green better? I have meds to take for in case for on the plane - oh, wish we were there already - I hate flying.

  19. Ja, leider ist das kein Witz, das hat er tatsächlich gesagt. Ich wünschte, Europa würde endlich mal mehr Rückgrat zeigen diesem Typ gegenüber.
    Witzig, wir haben auch eine rote Küche - die Farbe nennt sich "poppy red", mit der ich 2012 die Küche strich, die vorher in einem langweiligen beigen Weiß war. Jetzt poppt sie richtig.
    Besser vor deiner Reise krank sein als während der Reise. Ich hoffe sehr, dass es dir möglichst schnell wieder besser geht.
    Ich frage mich, ob jemand, der kein Deutsch versteht, den "Rotz" verstanden hat. Ich musste sehr grinsen - und kann mir so richtig vorstellen, wie es dir geht. Rotz ist ein herrliches, treffsicheres Wort.
