The Lion sleeps roars tonight

Now is this a cool doormat?! But 18 €... that´s a lot of money.

And, well. Our "portrait" is nice, also, huh? You know whom you´re visiting here! ;-)



Was a beautiful day today! 24C, sunny! Had a mini-Currywurst at the canteen and went with Ingo for a walk in the evening, there were ballons all over:



I would like to know what might be inside that "tower"? Looks kinda romantic, I think - or scary? Not sure:




Living in the Lion-city Braunschweig, I will soon be provided with "Lion-Breakfast":
We passed a butcher, that certainly was closed already, a small shop. Ingo took this pic through the window - and will go buy it soon:



Yips, the butcher´s name is Göthe - I doubt, though, that after eating it I will be able to write the complicated poetry like Wolfgang ;-)

Best before Dec this year - a sign it´s hand-made, but, oh-don´t-you-just-hate-it how soon time´s up on food?!
Just had to throw away some cheese. I had eaten today. Ingo told me, you know it´s expired some weeks already?
Darn. Thanks, Dad for this stomach-genes. Or?

8:00 pm, getting dark :-(

Just like Cleopatra

Not looking like she did, but feeling like her! Yes, I´m showering with "whipped cream"!

It smells like vanilla and does indeed feel like whipped cream! Yes, I don´t like to eat sweets. But I love to smell em!
So, I may also tell you that my body-lotion smells (according to Ingo very artificially) like raspberries, YUM!

Yes, the product-series is called young - AND? I don´t care! And see women of my age buying that stuff also! :-)

On the way up

That´s what I got for my day at work on Friday.

A sign Ingo is getting better. Slowly, but he is!

Last night he slept in our bed, for the first time in ages. The tube is gone, finally! He slept through til 9!

Let´s play Opitz

That´s what the Braunschweig kids said for "let´s play cops and robbers".

We didn´t get a detective story yesterday on murder on the Oker.
We got the real thing.

Friedrich Opitz comitted detectable 122 severe crimes in the 1920´s. 1937 they got him. He was mean. Ugly from the inside, he was very clever. And sick. He "wrote" forensic science. But first not in Germany. The case was kept calm. Translated to French and English to help others in Europe learn about/from him. We had Hitler, only after that the case was translated to German.
And then the kids played Opitz.

It was kinda surreal to sit in that raft with darkness falling in and listening to such a story.
It certainly did start raining and we came to a halt under one of the bridges. Certainly under that one which is due to be repaired!

It was interesting, odd and fun.

I didn´t drive back home the same way I had come, which was through the park right beside the Oker.
I cycled through the lighted city!

Today we will drive back there - it´s Magnifest (German) again, the annual festival in the Magni-Quarter!

YUMMY food is due to come! And maybe another grain of rice, if the rice-lady is there again and if we come up with an idea of what we want to have on the grain.

Life is good.

Needs Meme

Over at Barbara´s Place I found this "meme" and joined in:
All you do is type your first name follwed by the word "needs" into Google and see what pops up. Here's mine, I did the first 10:

Blue Iris needs ID - Ok, they talk of the flower, I have an iD! ;-)

IRIS Needs Assessment - Oh. I do?

Iris Needs Her Hero - Ingo is back home! Google didn´t know, I suppose ;-)

IRIS needs to be expanded and improved - Aw. Sure, I always like to learn new stuff. But expansion?

IRIS NEEDS YOUR HELP! - Ummm, nothing urgend though!

Iris needs nitrogen - Actually I feel fine without

Iris needs you to tell it where you want all your images saved - I´d like to be refered to as "she", please, then I do that cheerfully for ya

Iris needs a specific color adjustment - Green is all right, really!

I think at this stage it is still not at a level where IRIS needs to panic about a digital market - Ok, I´m calm and easy

Iris needs to be divided and thinned out every few years - Oh, my!!! Will go to the gym tomorrow!




This was fun!

Will be over now

Right?! Ingo´s darn way of getting well again has to stop to be that slow way, I wanna see a Ferrari here (or a BMW 3 Series, Cabriolet):


more animals

Cute pic/comment anyhows! :-)

It's a Wonderful Life

I know, I know, we´re far away from Christmas (though I bet the first x-mas-stuff will soon sit in the shops).

Went shopping on Sat and amongts other I finally got George Bailey´s wonderful story on DVD. Will you believe it, Ingo does not know the best Christmas-Movie ever and since I had it only as .mpg it was a great excuse to say no to it - haha! This Christmas Ingo is due! In English!

For now he´s back in Luebeck. Tomorrow at 8 a.m. the docs will see him. Meanwhile his oldest nephew has his first day at school.

Oh, seesh. "It's a Wonderful Life" helps me out tonight. Weather is plain awful, too. Makes me sick.

Ingo hopes/thinks he´ll be back home tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed maybe?

And don´t you love this Christmas-Movie? Do you know anyone who does not know it? Or am I getting old? HA! Ingo is 7 years ahead of me, that can´t be the reason, age ;-)
