Hihi, I sure could not resist this drink, River! If it wasn´t so darn expensive I´d send one over - I got this at ALDI - maybe yours has it, too?
This is for Elizabeth´s T.
The journal:
Now Italy is "on fire", too. France, Spain.... I wonder why people do not take precautions?
Tuesday: fK thinks the same as Ingo - wait for mK - do not go for that job at B.
The sicko who killed people at the CSD in Berlin was known as "high risk person" since 2019. Of course we will skip this event here in Braunschweig. Sad.
Portugal is added to the list of fire whilst here.... too cold.
Wednesday: 29C / 84F and getting warmer.... yippeeeeeeee.... 32C / 89F expected!!!!
Hello Summer!!! 🌞☀️
Ingo: "There is a FAT fly in here!!!" - we have a fly squat in the shape of a frog and a second later I heard BOOM. "The frog did the job." (well it was Ingo)
Later sparkling wine on the balcony! SUMMER!!!!
Thursday: 34C and rising!!!
Near to a heart attack. Door bell. I click the opener for the main door, open ours and the really tall mail man stands RIGHT in front of me as if grown from earth. And grins. Don´t do that!!! I wished him a happy day. Two parcels for Ingo.
And... let me show you - do not cry:
A DIN A 4 delivery in a huge parcel. Ingo grins rather like a maniac!
fK - despite on holidays - called mK and then me. mK is SURE he´ll get me back.
And.... since a fellow blogger told me a torn muscle takes a while to heal I am actually happy about the longer break.
Ingo is OK with this, too.
Greece, Turkey... on fire.
Mini-sparkling wine on the balcony! SUMMER!!!!
Friday: LOL, now I know why delivery-service takes so long! Deliverer mM told where he was on holiday (Thailand) and that his phone is dead due to the heat! We chatted some 10 minutes - but that´s how it should be, huh? He was happy about the 5er, too. Glad there are services like that available!
What the heck did we do pre-internet, pre-services like that?!
Remember that? Oh, wait, we hopped on our bikes and hung out with friends, our parents had no clue where we were! And it didn´t matter!
What´s better in your eyes?
Weekend: Saturday: Another "night on the balcony with shared mini-sparkling-wine"! And Esrom. Stinky cheese, but YUM!
Night: Ingo snoring! See next!
Sunday: "I know - I woke up from the snoring - I dreamed of Friedrich Merz!" (our "Chancellor") - I think I would rather yell! Brrrr.....
And isn´t this too cute (no ad, just sharing):
Munchy:
Henry 🦁
Have a happy T-Day!

I am so glad that you are finally having summer! (and no risk of fires). Enjoy!
I recognise that parcel! It's from Thomann. My husband used to order musical instruments and things from them. Keyboards, electronics etc. I love seeing Ingo's happy face!
Happy August! Happy summer!
Happy T-Day!

22C right now, I hope for MUCH more.
Well Ingo actually nearly flipped! That really was DIN A4 - why would you need such a huge parcel for that?
Aw, well, to SUMMER, to August, to happiness!
Happy T-Day!
Wildfires are horrible! Caused by arson, perhaps. We don’t get them often in Hawaii, but when it happens, it is usually far from our home, thank God. Enjoy your summer. It’s perpetual summer in Hawaii.
Yes, I´m glad we are safe here!
Ah, lucky you. Not soon and it will cool down again...
...Iris, enjoy each summer moment the comes your way!
Ah hanging out with friends is always fun!
I so sure will, Tom!!
Yes to that!
It sounds like a good week Iris, except that it's been chilly. Is it because you are a higher elevation? I hear everyone complaining about the heat in Europe. Just curious. Today we have gorgeous weather and then our heat and humidity arrives. I don't like the humidity, so I'd love to send it your way. I hope you're having a super T day. hugs-Erika
Hello Iris,
I enjoy seeing your cute sketches. It is scary so many countries are having the wildfires. I am glad you are having some summer days there. Ingo looks very happy with his package. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
I'm glad you're getting some Summer and balcony time. That River can is very colorful and reminds me of the Dorchester Gas tanks near Boston https://danieljfuller.com/corita-kents-the-rainbow-swash-1972-dorchester-massachusetts/
Oops, Happy T Day
Actually, no - we live in Braunschweig, low down - but there are the Harz Mountains nearby, maybe that´s it?
Now it´s warm :-) So... happy T-Day and hugs!
Yes, glad we have no fires here and firefighters can fly out to help. Well, Ingo was not that happy with the super-big package for such a small parcel. A crazy world... To a great week.
Wow, "the largest copyrighted artwork in the world"!!!! Very cool!
And yes, a happy T-Day! :-)
Isn't it nice to feel right about turning down a job offer? That makes such sense and yet, it's so good to be asked. Sparkling wine on the balcony sounds perfect to me.
I am so glad that you are getting out on the balcony to enjoy summer while it lasts, Iris.
It´s good to have support in the job-decision, for sure.
Yuppsi, Ingo comes up with new ideas!
Oh, yes, it´s sooooo good, RedPat!
Really enjoyed reading this piece. It is informative without being difficult to follow, and the subject has been explained in a very engaging way.
Thank you....
Good drink! Jamie Oliver is such an entrepreneur, genius!
Yes to both!
I'm so glad you finally got your summer. It's been here since forever, it seems. Love the drawings, Iris, And I appreciate your drink you got from Aldi. Not at MY Aldi, though. I've never heard of River cola before, so this is new. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers to summer and sparkling wine!
That River can is very colourful.
Lovely blueberries and melon...definitely summer-yum!
All the best Jan
Cola Zero sugar... hmm mm... thirsty for colas now.
I love "my" drink 😊 but I won't buy one, I don't drink cola or any other soft drink. I have no idea what DIN-A4 is but that box is HUGE! I agree you should wait for the job you really want, don't take second best.
Too much of Europe is on fire 😒
Using the new Lenovo today, seems to be going well.
Yes, finally Summer, Elizabeth! And oh. Here we are ALDI North, in South Germany it´s ALDI South, so.... no idea how they work. It was a hope.
So-so yes!
Yes, I waited long enough for Summer (Perth does not count) ;-)...)
I bought it cause of my bloggy-friend :-)
Well, now you have a pic of your drink :-)
DIN A4 is what you have for ... letters mostly or in school, 210 × 297 Millimeter.
Yes, scary with all the fires.
But yippee on your Lenovo - my old one sends greetings! (I used it for Perth only, got it in Joondalup and the first days always had to get used to the Aussie-pad!).
Your drink sounds really good. I totally agree, say "No to hate." The former Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Michael Curry always said, "If it's not about love, it's not about God."
Dear friend Iris, I am always so happy to see your sketches! I absolutely love your artistic talent! Ingo looks great!
Henry looks handsome and regal!
Sending you love of love and hugs!
Aha! A4 size paper. the "DIN" confused me.
