T STands For AnoTher Summer-Week!


Mini-sparkling wine on a Summer´s night! This is for Elizabeth´s T.
The light?
 

 
The journal:
 
 

 
Monday: Another great Summer´s day and Ingo is supposed to work less and just didn´t come home.
Of course I did not call him - what if he´s in the car?! 
Working less was for July - my bad. Boy, I was sick in fear!
But: I looked up his company for in case I call there - here is the English link - if you are interested. Pretty cool.
He came home safe and sound. 
And we shared another mini sparkling wine - SUMMER! 
 
 

 
TuesdayOur neighbor, who manages the bulky waste popped in to get our runaway-sun-brolly. There we both stood, barefoot, LOL.
Nice to see young people these days do this, too.
Runaway is maybe not the correct word. Rather thermals.
Ingo and I sat on the balcony, brolly "secured" but since this thing was huge it suddenly took off till third floor and bumped into the garden! 
We have smaller ones now and neighbor mY took not only the brolly but also some more stuff in one walk all up to the roof. To being young again.... 
To WhatsApp! Great tool. He also offered help with the transport.
 

WednesdayNetherlands: Wildfires. Rivers Rhine, Germany, low water. Elbe, Weser ... same. 
Went to recycle glass. Aggressive wasp, went to the next container and some dumb-as# had left a "white-glass-shoe" on the ground I could not see, I fell and hurt myself.
I sat there like an old woman, wondering how to get up, bleeding all over. I managed but the bleeding... for hours. If it was a bottle, reckon it´d rolled away but a "shoe"....
People: Always look before you step down somewhere! Reckon, as it´s Summer I´ll have to tell and warn more often cause... miniskirt. 
 
  
Thursday:  Leg hurts but no inflammation. Big thanks to Ingo!!!
I think it cut my muscle, though, I can hardly walk. My luck. 
I don´t dare to go anywhere, so Ingo got me the best fruit salad.
How dumb can I be. There are mindless peeps all around, ALWAYS look down, always watch your step, lesson learned. I hope. 
 

Sorry, if I gave you an earworm, let´s get it out!!!
 

 Hihi, maybe, though you prefer this:

 

 

Friday: So frustrating. Due to the leg I slept in a weird position and.. back is back.

It so reminds me of the 7 months with my stupid arm that set me aside. I cannot force anything, either.
My dentist called - buhuuuuu... September I have to go. I feel fine, I feel fine!!!! 
 

Weekend: Saturday: Summer on the balcony, carefully.
 

Sunday: It´s getting crazy. Usually no trucks on Sundays, but since rivers have so low water.... Trucks and trains transport goods today.

 Have a happy T-Day!

What a bummer you cut your foot! Did you not need stitches?
How lovely you could have a summer's evening on the balcony with a glass of wine.
I enjoyed Chuck Berry. That brought back memories. I remember it. It was quite 'wild' back in the day.
Take care.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

Iris Flavia said...

I SO will, Tom!

Iris Flavia said...

My leg, the calf-muscle is cut - no stitches needed but it hurts like hell. To dumbness, my fault!!
To sparkling wine and wild fun, happy T-Day!

Thank you, RedPat and enjoy Summer, too!

Glad you have Summer weather and sparkling wine on the balcony. The Braunschweig light is beautiful. So sorry to hear you hurt yourself. People are so inconsiderate. Sounds like another sparkling wine on the balcony will help with the cure. Take care and Happy T Day

Iris Flavia said...

YES to Summer and no to sorry - it was plain dumb. Watch your step. Today too cool, but tomorrow: Sparkling wine :-)
Happy T-Day

Sorry about your leg and back. Healing thoughts. Good luck with the dentist.

Your evening out pictures look delightful! My favorite calendar page this week is the one for the 5th, because the bumble bee's facial expression is amazing. Shine bright, and happy T is for Tuesday to you too!

Hello Iris,
I always enjoy seeing your sketches. I am glad you are having summer weather now. So sorry to hear about you cutting your foot on the glass. As a senior I am always looking down, too afraid I will trip over something. I love a good fruit salad. Take care, have a great day!

Amy said...

Having summer drinks is what I'm looking forward to when it gets warmer here, have a nice week.

My name is Erika. said...

Hurrah you have summer! I can tell you enjoyed it. Wine out on the balcony in the evening-that sounds fabulous. I hope it was a happy T day. And I hope you have some super weather for several more weeks too. hugs-Erika

All the best Jan

LOVE your calendar drawings, but feel so bad that your leg is cut. One thing seems to lead to another. So nice to see you enjoyed wine on your patio and that summer is finally there for you. Thanks for sharing, dear.

River said...

Sorry to hear your back is hurting again and the leg too, but keep them moving as much as you can so the muscles don't become stiff because stiff muscles tear more easily.
I followed the link and read about Ingo's company, very impressive.
I love the little Braunschweig light, but it doesn't look bright enough to read a book by.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, if I dig, I dig deep.... Hope the dentist will be done in no time with nor result again :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, it was no sweet bumble bee it was a mean wasp, ready to attack! Thanks to Erika I´m not afraid of bees anymore :-) But wasps....

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Eileen, I learned the hard way, look down, watch your step!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, Spring on the way soon, huh! (Which means... ack for here!!!)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, yes, it´s sooooooo wonderful! Hugs!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, I was still lucky, it could´ve been worse...

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, yes, I´m not the lucky one atm ;-)
Apart from Summer, that is!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I sure move, it´s all getting a bit better already!
Thank you for following the link, too!
No reading, just enjoying the light - one went to Perth, to Sami, as she lived here once, too.

Guillaume said...

I can't wait for summer to be over. It's way too hot here.

DVArtist said...

I'm so far behind on commenting. Sorry. I always love seeing your sketches. I like sparkling wine. Have a nice day today.

Granny Sue said...

Summer is so good for you! But oh, so sorry about your poor leg.
Sparkling wine on the balcony sounds delightful. Here it is too hot, too rainy, too humid to enjoy being outside. So sad.
I have been hearing about the river. Very scary tgat it is so low. And fires everywhere!

Dear friend Iris, I hope your cut heals quickly and that your back feels better! I absolutely am thrilled to see your sketches!!! Sending you lots of love and hugs.
