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!

 

  

 

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. 

 

 

 

 

Stay Cool

Well, that day was on June 11th - but Summer only came last week - on Wednesday.

Since then it is at least warm - my "flowers" ....  grow but no blooms yet, it was just too cold.

Crazy when all around countries are on fire due to the heat.

At least that way German firefighters can go there and help, I am happy they do. 

 

Though...  from the Netherlands fire is spreading  over here, too (far away from where we are). 

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

 

Henry 🦁

 

Oh, can´t it be like this always?

Roaming around barefoot in t-shirt and mini-skirt, or shorts for you boys out there, or whatever you like! 

 

 

 

 

Flipped?

Now... you get KEBABS, ICE CREAM, PIZZA 🍕, WAFFLES, BURGERS and SUNDAES at Mumma´s.

Donuts, too? Look, the sign is flipped!

 Double-flipped now.

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

The other.. .aw, well, donuts, anyone? (I prefer...)

 

 

 

R U Hungry? Sporty?

 

 

This is Wanneroo Rd in Madeley, right in front our Caravan Park.

 

Where we are...

 

 ...to go to Warwick (pronounced "Warrick"). And then Perth. Or Leederville... or Joondalup.

 

 

I had a (plastic) skateboard. I went so fast on a road downhill where cars drive, the wheels started to spin and I luckily flew off to the right in the grass.

One reason I have no kids! 

 

Snacks, though?! Make yourself a slice of bread or eat an apple!

 

Gosh. I am old.

And I am thankful for that, too. I am a happy kid of the early 70s. 

 

Would you like to be a kid now?

That would really interest me! 

TV on demand - nothing to look forward to. 

I love my Sunday-ritual with Löwenzahn, Die Maus and the Fairy Tale. 

 

Hello from the old(en) front, this is for Tom´s Signs2.

Back in the day we had no protection whatsoever - you?

 

 

 

TDN In Africa

 

Sad as it is - this is a sign - for Tom´s Signs2 - that we need security. 

No weirdos in cars trying to kill people can get in and on top....

 

 

Isn´t this sad?

I went on my own and really wasn´t sure... good or bad sign we have this.

 

 When I was a kid...We simply took care of one another. Now we have...

 

 ... from a place nearby (where Jägermeister is from). Crazy, huh.

More next Wednesday.

I´d like to learn your thoughts. 

Yay for all the security being there or nay for it has to be? 

 

Anyways, let me end with FUN!!!! 

  

 

Again, your opinion: Strange or great that apart from the leading musicians all are "old and white" - sorry, I found no other description in my mind and I am old and if not bumping into something ( > blue mark) am white... or deep red if center of something. Like when the very huge and dark chef in Cuba gave me a big hug... everybody was looking on and I FELT  my face was burning.

 

Just cause I said "hi" and "good bye" and gave him an origami-tip each and every time. 

I thought that´s how to behave!

 

How is security in your place - as crazy?

 

 Henry 🦁

 

I feel pretty safe here, having Henry - hope you feel the same?

 

 

Get Horsey, Dragon

It´s the year of the horse - sign in our Shopping Centre in Madeley.

 

 Have a chat... say....

 

 See, they don´t do you any harm. De facto...

 

 

Turn on the sound (but not too loud):
 

 

These are for Toms´s Signs2.

To another too cold day...

 

 

 

 

Carbs

 

 

AI says: "In Germany, there are officially more than 3,200 different bread specialties. This globally unique diversity is even recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.

The incredible selection can be attributed to the variety of grain types (especially rye, wheat and spelt) and regional baking traditions."

 

When we .. I first came to Australia (Ingo´d visited with his Brother 2 years earlier already).. you can imagine how shocked I was.

There was toast bread/white bread and pumpernickel in 1995. WHAT?!

In the Asherton Table Lands we stayed an extra day cause they had a French baker who made petit pain, Brötchen.

 

Now... the world is one - you get all sorts of bread also in Australia.

These days I eat rather low carb but as a German no carb is no option.

A good slice of bread here and there, hmmm-ya. 

 

Oh and nooooo.... June is done. Welcome July, please slow down!!!

 

 

When you take the tram in Braunschweig most places are happily announced in German and English. Not this. It rather yells "Schloss." 

The castle has some history and the older ones here, like me, are not really a fan, you can read it´s wild history here. And finally:

 

 Only 18C/64F, cloudy. July, you have to do better!!!!

What´s your Brekkie today?

 

 

 

Monkey Me!

This is The Brass in Northbridge / Perth and they invite you to the Fringe Festival.

 

This time we didn´t go, though. We had a proper beer instead: 

 

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2. As the river is a bit far away the Monkey is my good-bye today.
