T STands For TuTTI FruTTI!

 
 
This is for Elizabeth´s T... and for Ingo.
Ingo worked as a TV-technician. Can I say so?
And Tutti Frutti made many a people come to get color/new TVs!!! Because...
 
Wiki: "Tutti Frutti was the German version of the Italian game show Colpo Grosso ("Big Shot"). It was aired from 21 January 1990 through to 21 February 1993 on RTL plus for three series, totaling approximately 140 episodes. It was the first erotic TV show on German television..."
"Erotic", hihi... That´s why people bought new TVs! (Define "people").
Was a yummy drink, this - and a "sweet" memory.
 
The journal:
 

 
Monday: I failed. There is not really anything to report.
 
 
Tuesday: Hups, like Monday.
All I did was phoning with my friend fK - she´ll meet our boss fE tomorrow!
Other....tired.
 

Wednesday: fK reported mD1 and mD2 from Alstom Austria both spoke "highly" of me to fE.
Sadly the plant is down, but if they get back they want me and hence ESE wants me back!!!
fK also told fE I´d be OK to not be the April1st-joke - no stress! Yippeeeee.
 
You know. I am a loner. A seminar on trains at ESE and fK took the seat right.beside.me.
Just right next!!!!
And now we´re friends! She might be my boss some time, too. 
She calls it "colleague", though. 
 

Thursday:  Did some clean up. Oh, come on, I am old! Jet leg...
 

Friday: See Thursday...
 

Weekend: Saturday: Met neighbor fC and asked about neighbors fH/mM - we still do not have our keys back!
fC wrote down the phone number, we chatted and headed off. She did.
I met... neighbor W!!!
For 2 hours - he wanted to get in, me out - we stood outside in the cold, talking!
Went grocery shopping, called fH and BOOM! down she was with our keys, I gave her Onion Thyme Marmalade from Perth as a thank you and we chatted for over an hour.
 
And people ask if I am lonely... How.Can.I.Be.Lonely?!

Sunday: A bit of sleep in, Löwenzahn, Maus, fairy tale I didn´t like.

Munchy:

Yes. Back in Braunschweig so...

 Spring, jet lag? I have no idea.... wish Ingo´d cuddle up... Ingo, btw: Working! As if we were never in another time-zone. Chapeau!

...Fanta is an American-owned brand of fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks created by Coca-Cola Deutschland under the leadership of German businessman Max Keith. There are over 200 flavors worldwide. I sure didn't know this!!!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I've actually had Fanta before, but mine was lime. LOVE your calendar pages. Jet lag can take up to two weeks to get over.

Thanks for sharing your fun calendar, food, and Fanta with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, neither did I, Tom - thank you!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear host - I´m on the way up!
The pages, though.. a bit jet-laggy...

Kathylorraine said...

Good morning-I loved the final photo-your journal pages are so awesome-they just keep getting better and better-hugs oh and a week ago I sent you slow mail-hope it takes several months this time to get to you-smiles

Kathylorraine said...

oops hope it does Not take months

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, Kathy! a) thank you (though I think these journal pages are the worst and I blame jet lag) ... and b) Thank you for the laugh with the second comment!!
Hihi... Thank you, I look very much forward to it! Hugs

Your Mr. Proper looks like our Mr. Clean. Grin. And cleaning doesn't make you old. I've been cleaning a bit lately...it feels good to have some freshness after the winter which doesn't always seem over at my house. And ha ha, I love that you passed on some cooking wisdom in your comment. Hope it's a great T day so far. hugs-Erika

Nice drink! You enjoyed your week I see.-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com

I have a hard time getting over jet lag and travelling too, Iris.
Love Henry and his mate today.

Lisca said...

Yes, jet lag sometimes takes a while. I have not suffered from it as I have a light box and that also re-sets one's body clock. (Airline pilots have caps with daylight lamps in them to battle the time differences.) You'll be fine in a few days.
I have no idea what flavor tutti frutti would be (it means: all the fruits in Italian).
Cleaning? I must confess I don't clean. Apart from washing up and doing the laundry, I don't clean. I haven't got a clue. All my adult life I have had someone to clean for me so I'm not good at it and to be honest, I don't like cleaning. I'd rather pay someone to do it.Yes, I know, I know, but that's how it is with me.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

Hello,
I do not drink any kind of soda or sweet drink.
I hope all is going well on the job front.
I do enjoy your sketches. Henry and mate are cute.
Take care, have a great day.

Iris Flavia said...

I think he has several names around the world - glad it´s a man, though!
I will have to bake, oh-wee!!! And invite friends... oh-weeeeeee... Hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, was yummy indeed! The week, oh, well.

Iris Flavia said...

When I was in my 20´s, RedPat... oh, remember? There was no jet lag ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

I cannot sleep on planes or in trains...
And yupp. I´m the dishwasher and cleaner (not a good one)... Lucky you and happy T-Day.

Iris Flavia said...

I drink.. oh... what I want? Mostly tap-water, though :-)
May, I hope for May on the job! Henry sure is sweet, huh. Hope you had a great day, too! I was sitting here with my Perth pics!

Jeanie said...

Your weekly wrap is going well and fun. (Some days are ok to be nothing!) I love that Henry!

River said...

Fanta in Australia was only ever orange when I was a kid and my sister loved it, she still does! I don't know about other flavours now, I don't even look for it. I do hope you get your job back or even a different job, but hope you have plenty of rest time first.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Jeanie, well nothing was...uhhh...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, when I was a kid there was orange only, too with Fanta. But for Elizabeth I love to find new stuff to drink! Usually it´s only tap-water, though...
Yes, a break would be great...
