Sushi Anyone?

 

This is at the Nakayoshi Sushi Bar on Wendenring, Braunschweig, just around my corner.

The recommendation is Japanese rice bowl with grilled salmon, salad, avocado and fried onions...

Sadly I don´t like fish, but the mural is cute - reckon the artist is someone from the restaurant.

 

 

 

This is for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!

 

Henry 🦁

 

 To a new week.

 

 

 

Let´s Party

 

 

This is again from the Day of people in Lower Saxony. It shows the city hall and the text says:

 

"There's always something going on here! 

New trends, lots of activity and regional delicacies:  

Look forward to colorful events with Sunday shopping in the City of Lions!" 

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2 and Henry 🦁 you saw above!

 

  

 

T STands for BirThday

With this I join Elizabeth´s T (my stomach cannot take coffee anymore).

The journal:

Monday: 18C / 64F max, cloudy. Summer ...? No news otherwise.

 

Tuesday: 17C, is Autumn here? Peu à peu I get some sorting done.

My half-cousin, same name as Hubby, drives me NUTS. Sent me ca. 40 paper-pages per post-mail - I asked him I want .pdf via e-mail !

I have to send PAPER to the company who does my taxes.

Ingo: "Germany is not happy without paper. Or fax-machines..." 

 

 

Wednesday: Sad news. Friend´s Dad has passed away.

I must check our bell sign. EVERYONE rings here! Now Telekom, fiber optic cable-test, how he can get into the cellar. I was... barefoot and just gave him my key. Said, "well, it´s summer, right?", him, smiling, " a bit".  17C - 62F, but I don´t give up (yet).

The guys to our left, the wife is home ALWAYS, why me? Oh, of course, choose the "Emperor"! 🫅 I reign the house...

 

Thursday:  fK called. fE and mK really want me back THIS YEAR at ESE, she clarified yesterday. 

The project: A fancy train in Norway. Hopefully. Very individual that´s why it takes so long. mH will be co-teamlead, which is very good! He´s a do-er.

And with being blue all over on foot and leg and that darn back I need this break anyways. 

fK was without a job for four years so I am no shame. And Germany is not doing well (well, who is?!)

Learned a lot about why we don´t get along in my family. And that it´s not my fault... Good to have friends with experience and brains. 

 

Friday:  fK called. We snore. There may be help: MSM - Methylsulfonnylmethan - I´ll go for it!

To have true friends you can even say that to!

Big Niece turned 16 and we had a nice chat! Boy. She´s an adult. Just seconds ago she slept in my lap, 5 days old, fell asleep in her bed when she traveled to Australia at age 3 and laughed her head off when I couldn´t help with math in 2nd grade. 

And she sounds like her Mom. Scary.

 

I mean, look. Her and I:

 

 Genes are crazy!

 

 

Weekend: Saturday: City? No. Leg, back hurt and Ingo said it´s too cold.

Was all dressed up, corset and sunscreen all on and... no.

Wine in the... living room. 

Sunday: At Die Maus they say, "August, the hottest month of the year" ... yah, just where? 15C / 59F is not really "hot" - Ingo got himself a new gas-oven that is running and I sit in a pullover.

 

Munchy:

 YUM.

Henry 🦁 

 Have a happy T-Day!

 

 

At Night

Well that´s the morning already. Fellow blogger and friend River asked how I cannot sleep in the dark and this is what we have / what Ingo got - that wonderful "clock", thrown onto the ceiling so huge I can see it without glasses and...

  A bit arty?

 and makes you smile, too?

 

 Nicole and...

 Gillena.

Henry 🦁 

 

 Our lights are less scary :-)

 

Hey, Pretty

 A bit shy there!

 

 The clown of the roses!

 

 Hope to say that again!

 

Henry 🦁

 

 

 

Hello From Summer

 

 

This is still from "Tag der Niedersachsen", day of the people of Lower Saxony.

A cool Summer´s Day in June, just like today, 17 C / 62F, cloudy, still no work.

But  Henry 🦁 loved all the people from Lower Saxony saying "hi"! 

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

Hope your weather is better. 

 

 

 

 

T STands For YeT AnoTher Summer- Week

 

Ingo was feeling like Summer-wine-time. Italy, Tuscany... it was evening already.

This is for Elizabeth´s T. Yes, no proper glasses...

 

The journal:

 

Monday: Rivers in Germany so low, it´s crazy. And we can do nothing about it.

29 750 kids last year here got into a push-bike accident cause they don´t know the rules. How.Can.That.Even.Be?! Act!!!!

Back better, leg on the way up, too! Yippeeeee...

Work? Holiday-time :-(

Cloudy and warm, very good!

 

 

 

Tuesday: Summer? Foot still swollen, leg hurts.

Good thing: The sun shines through the window in so at least my arms warm up!

 

 

Wednesday: Got up when Ingo left, shortly after 04:25 a.m., and was soooooo darn awake. Leg and foot pumping. Surfed around, went back to bed and FELL ASLEEP!

I need to work, really. This is no life.

Normally I´d went for an early morning walk but... 

Solar partial eclipse soon, aw, well.

I was at VW last time and it sure was surreal.

All birds got confused and shut up - SILENCE! 

LOL, TV, "why do I need that special glasses - on an ordinary evening it doesn´t burn my Iris, either!" - To Dad, I miss you.

 

Thursday: I take a shower. DOOR BELL! TWICE! Threw some clothes on - our postie. I said, sorry, just took a shower, he said, you got clothes on quick!  And grinned.

I sure will not open naked, LOL. 

TV-news: 65 years ago today.... "No one plans to build a wall", said the GDR-regime. 

Some young people still see East and West-Germany. 

 

 Here in Braunschweig... a piece of the Berlin wall.

 

Do you still see that?! I have (had) 4 very good friends from "the East"! (two I lost).

As my friend says: "There are friends for a reason, friends for a season, friends for a lifetime.".... and yes, she says that in English as at ALSTOM the language is English, not French.

 

 

Friday: The customer had a push-bike accident. Talks hopefully Monday. I.Get.Nervous! At least they let me know. Friend in hard trouble, I try to help, if only via WhatsApp. 

 

Weekend: Saturday: Nice evening on the balcony - Ingo created a crate!!!

 

All under THREE sun-brollies:

 

 

And then a good ole newsPAPER:

 

 

 

We had shown wine. And the sweetest summer rain.  We switched places so I could sit in the rain 🌦️

Sunday: The usual. Back... well, leg hurts. The usual.

BUT: Maus had sheep!

 

 

As the magnet says (not only)...

  

 

And a sweet fairy-tale, The Goose Girl.

 

Munchy:

 

 Henry 🦁 

 

 

Happy T-Summer-Day (well... last week)...

 

 

 

 

Yummy-Yum

 

Of course I will not go to Kaufland, but when I can walk again the farmer´s market it will be! 

Let us CELEBRATE SUMMER!!!!

This is for Tom´s Signs2. 

 

Henry 🦁

 

  Have a great Wednesday!

 

 

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! 

 

 

 

Tuesday: Our 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.

 

Wednesday: Netherlands: 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.

Munchy:

 

Henry 🦁

 Have a happy T-Day!
