IT Is A ...

 
 
for...
 
 
 
See... Sami told me about two murals.
I didn´t find them.
Got more instructions.
Ingo helped me on the CAT-map (free bus in CBD, Perth Central Area Transit). I drove by myself and YIKES. 
WHERE.ARE.THESE.MURALS?! 
 
Went into a pharmacy to ask for help and got: "What is a mural?!"
 
Oh. Lordy... You live in the city of murals and...
OK, next shop and... I found this cuppa!!! 
How could I not...
 
 
It is safely home in Braunschweig now, pics still taken in the cabin in Madeley.
The  lady had no clue what a mural is but upon my explanation sent me to the park but I thought, nah... Sami would´ve said "park" then!
 
I found it, see tomorrow - I found both, stay tuned.
 
And this NIGHTMARE will always remind me with a smile that I find things on my own even if people fail to help (that is the pharmacy and that gift shop, NOT Sami or Ingo!!!! They tried their best with Mrs-has-no-orientation-whatsoever).
 
The Black Swan, Perth´s Icon 🦢 (imagine this emoji is black)

I have the movie here and will watch it on Aussie-Christmas, July 25th.

The blackswan picture is a beauty and I'll be waiting for your mural tomorrrow. I'm curious!

Iris Flavia said...

The swan was supposed to be scary!!! Oh, did I fail ;-)

"What is a mural?" Wow. But what a great story. Now I can't wait to see them tomorrow. Happy rest of your weekend Iris. hugs-Erika

My name is Erika. said...

Oh and nice new mug too. :)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Erika, and yes, quite an unexpected question that was! Hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Yep, Kathy, I love it!

Iris Flavia said...

The nightmare says thank you :-)

CJ Kennedy said...

It's not a Christmas mug, but a Halloween mug. Love it.

Liebe Iris, dass ich von Deutschsprachigen immer wieder gefragt werde, was ein Mural ist, verwundert mich ja weniger - ich weiß es selbst nur durch die Bloggerwelt. Aber dass auch englischsprachige keine Ahnung haben, finde ich irgendwie traurig... Ich bin jedenfalls schon neugierig, was du gefunden hast!
Alles Liebe,
Traude

RedPat said...

Love the mug, Iris,
It is 1˚C and raining here.

Hello Iris,
I love the mug! Funny story about looking for the murals. The swan image is spooky and pretty at the same time. Take care, Happy Sunday! Have a wonderful week.

DVArtist said...

How sad that woman didn't know what a mural is. hmmmm. I love the mug and oh that black swan is outstanding. Thank you for joining SITAR and have a nice Sunday.

Sami said...

You can see they don't blog, lol, they don't take photos of murals. Not to know what a mural is, when Perth has so hundreds of murals is really strange!

Christine said...

Love that mug

Jeanie said...

A noble effort! Loving the mug and the swan too!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

Love your Jack Skellington mug! Looking forward to seeing tomorrow which two murals you found!

Gene Black said...

I always assume that "maybe I wasn't meant to find it today" when the directions don't get me there. And that is okay, the voyage can be the destination sometimes.

LOVE the coffee mug. I have one similar but it's of the Beetlejuice movie.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear friend Iris, that mug is great! And I love the black swan! Sending you lots of love and many hugs.

I like work Tim Burton work

River said...

No orientation whatsoever?? Yikes! Here's a clue, the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. How is it possible that some people don't know what a mural is? I don't like the mug.

Iris Flavia said...

Must watch the movie again ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Ja, liebe Traude - ich war auch... ähh...? Und dann gleich zwei! In den Geschenkeladen bin ich noch zurückgegangen und habe gesagt, wo es ist! Es war ihr sehr offensichtlich sehr egal... schade! Naja... alles Liebe, es ist gleich da!

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, 3C, sunny... Spring??? At least I have the mug and tea...

Iris Flavia said...

Hello Eileen, yes, I have no orientation, it´s truly awful! AI did a good gob with the spooky swan :-) To a wonderful week!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes. I was pretty shocked about that not knowing! Twice even! Thank you for introducing NightCafé!

Iris Flavia said...

But they were not blind and the murals are just around the corner, and, as you say, everywhere!!! So sad... Also that the lady in the gift shop was not at all interested when I told her where it is!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes! :-)

Iris Flavia said...

And I got more than rewarded :-)

Iris Flavia said...

It´s online, enjoy :-) I sure did! Took a long(er) way, LOL.

Iris Flavia said...

I did find both :-)

Iris Flavia said...

That´s a great movie, too! Maybe show the mug?

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda, yes, I stopped dead when I saw it and before I knew it... I´d bought it and only then thought, oh, darn, I have to carry that home!!! LOL, Warm hugs, mugs and much love.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, looking forward to July 25th :-)

Iris Flavia said...

I´m lost in the clouds, LOL... Well, especially in Australia, who is full of murals, huh?
"Who" is correct, right? I got a book from the Kingsway SC library about Aussies born in 1940 and the author wrote about countries as "she".
Oh, I love the mug and look forward to the movie again.
