T This Mixed Week

 
 
My rather sad (?) ticket to Elizabeth´s T. I miss Madeley so much, Perth, my friends, the sun the warmth (sadly cannot say the heat...)
 
The journal:
 

Monday: Cold, sooo cold!
Played the dishwasher again, went grocery-shopping.. I LOVE rain, but wee.... the wind went under my jeans... awfully cold! Stripey Tiger had to get straight to work when I came back!
I also have his duck as warmie, but he is cuddlier! 

My table in trouble - I might bite it!!!!
The new prime-minister of Netherlands is on TV. In Berlin. Speaking German. Then, saying, "maybe better to speak English now..." and BOOM! - his voice is off  - we get the German translation - and have no idea what he really says. 
No subtitles... OFF! 
Merz??? Speaks German. A shame. A shame.... We speak of EU and NATO-subjects. Had to switch channels. Table OK.
Beautiful The Simpson´s-episode about jealousy and love. 
 

Tuesday: Plan: Clean. Did: Perth-pictures-editing. This will take some loooong time.
Found fun YouTube-videos on Germany and my cooking-companion, Adriano.
 
 

 
Wednesday: Perth-pics... 
 

 
Thursday:  Perth-pics, cleaning... Ingo: Let´s rip the tiles out and take others... um, no. I rather clean.  Found a fancy chocolate. Best before 06/23.. hups... time runs..
 

Friday: fK (from East Germany): "Yesterday I found a 'power-chocolate' in my backpack from you - was best before 2024..." ummm... There must be more to life than this?
I mean... isn´t that crazy? 
 
 

 
Door-bell. In English: "Looking for M"  - showed her. I understand and appreciate you want to work, but really... the name is on the doorbell, why call me?!
Take a deep breath... 
Bea at the cash-out, yipee. 
 
The Simpsons: "For Buddy" - awww... 
 
 
 
 
Weekend: Saturday: Went grocery-shopping together. Yipee. The highlights we have... 

Sunday: Maus and Fairy tale, other ... not so good.

Munchy... 

 

Baby Henry 🦁

 


 Have a happy T-Day!

Hello Iris,
Chocolate from 2024, is not good is it? I love all your fun sketches.
Baby Henry is a cutie. It is cold here too. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

Iris Flavia said...

Hello Eileen, the chocolate looks... icky. Maybe it could go into a cake, but I do not bake chocolate cake... Thank you, sketching keeps me sane and yep Henry looks cute when yawning - me... not so much ;-) To a great day and week!

Tom said...

...Iris, we all have to do whatever keeps us sane!

Bertiebo said...

As always: I really like your sketching. And I'm sure you will get used to Braunschweig again!

Iris Flavia said...

I agree, Tom!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, and yes, I love "my" city!!! Both cities...

My name is Erika. said...

This is the first time I ever read that you didn't miss the heat. It must have been very very hot. I woke up to more white int he ground today. And yesterday was quite cold and raw here too. It's time for winter to end. Yes? Have a super T day Iris. That chocolate bar looks good but too bad it was so old. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

No you got that wrong - it was too cold for my liking! I sadly cannot say heat.... ack, more white - sorry to hear! Yes, stupid about the chocolate - time runs! Have a great T-Day, hugs

I probably have chocolate from 2004 hanging around somewhere (I hope not! Probably not, but maybe 2014!) Chocolate is not my thing and unless it is going in pudding, mousse, or the occasional chocolate chip cookie or flourless chocolate cake, I'm not a big fan of just munching it! (OK, maybe M&Ms! Or mixed with peanut butter or coconut!)

CJ Kennedy said...

Chocolate doesn't go bad. It may develop a white bloom on it which is not mold, just a discoloration. If it doesn't look right, or smells bad toss it. I woke up to sunshine and a coating of snow on the ground! Happy T Day

RedPat said...

I agree with Henry today as I could have slept all day, Iris. It is -2˚C here this morning.

DVArtist said...

Uhh I think the chocolate is a throw away. LOL I hate it when the wind blows rain up my pant legs. It's so icey. Love all your sketches and your stories. The video for me say unavailable. I'm cleaning today too. One room at a time. LOL Have a good day, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

I don´t like sweets much in general... But, owwww. I thought this is too beautiful and now... eeek...

Iris Flavia said...

OK. Hmmmm... I´ll give it to Ingo - my sweet tooth hibernates again. Yippeee to sunshine. The snow.... not so much!

Iris Flavia said...

Yikes that is cold!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, especially that cold wind when you just came from summer! Yupp one room a day, the video is but Freddie Mercury/Queen, nothing special...

Sorry I'm late visiting. Late Monday night the fiber optic snapped and broke due to high winds. My neighbor called ATT and they finally sent someone out to string a new line.

I love your calendar pages. I especially like the basket of groceries and the cleaning. Not sure I would trust the chocolate. I've had it go bad on me before.

Thanks for sharing your beer with us and your calendar for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.

Lisca said...

Thank you for the music. I love Freddy's voice.
Out of date chocolate should be OK especially if it's dark chocolate. Mine never lasts that long. I do like chocolate and I always have some on stand-by for when I fance some.
Lovely yawning baby Henry...
Roll on summer!
Happy T-Day
Lisca

Aww a lovely yawning baby Henry.
Happy T Day.

All the best Jan

Iris Flavia said...

Oh no to the broken line!!! Thank you, you keep me going with the lille sketches, dear Elizabeth :-)
OhhhK... the chocolate stays deco!

Iris Flavia said...

You´re welcome, Lisca, Freddie is always good! Hm, I´m actually not into sweets anyways... Oh Spring would make me happy already, cold today again.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I do not look lovely at doing this ;-)

Dixie @ Arranged Words said...

Especially love the weekend art. So cute!
Sounds very chilly that day.
Milk chocolate would probably go bad.
Happy T day!

River said...

Throw away the chocolate, it won't even be good baked in anything, the discolouration means most of the taste and texture is gone already.
Basking in the sun like Henry makes me yawn too.

Iris Flavia said...

Aaaaand off it goes, that chocolate. Here 4C...
