Always Double-Check

Finally the sun is there and getting stronger!
So, when we went off to the city yesterday (12C) I got my "new" sunscreen from last year.

Opened the lid, pressed... nothing.
OMG is it so old it´s become constant?! Luckily, no...

Yes, sadly these days it is necessary to seal just plain anything that contacts your body in sensitive parts.

So... always open the lid and check before buying - I didn´t and was lucky.
It was sealed and it wasn´t damaged.

Just please... can anybody explain to me those self-serve-salad-bars in supermarkets???

It´s good in most parts it´s been taken care of our safety, but then... remember the good old times where this was just not necessary?
Where no one would even think of poisened goods etc?

This is btw the first sealed suncreen. The expensive one I had before... not sealed!

I Broke A Banana

Ingo takes a banana to work each day. Two were left and so ripe one broke when I divided them.

Oh, noooo.
What to do?!

Bread with sliced banana and cinnamon for brekkie. Nah, too sweet!
I bought milk, but...

For lunch I still had cauliflower.
In the pan, with ground tumeric, Garam Masala and spicy Madras curry.
Oh, and a beaten egg (with salt and pepper) ready to go in, too.
Sooo yellow.
And the banana looked at me...

Not too sweet, but yum!
Guess where the other half banana goes in today for lunch? :-)

No receipe, but when it´s just for myself I like to experiment.
Sadly Ingo could not have tried as I used oil to fry it all in. I just can´t stand the smell of lard or butter-oil.
Is there a better alternative to oil?

Can´t Decide?

"Ausfahrt" - drive out.

"Einfahrt" - drive in.

Ummm....

Both in one gate...

Olden Times

Well I sure can read this, but I´m pretty sure Niece could not.
These days it´s luckily different:

Do you still find "leftovers" from the old times?

We sadly are getting new leftovers.
My whole life I never heard of Germany and Scabies in one sentence.
Now I do.
Give a guess...

And no. I don´t put all in one pot.
And no, wasn´t only me who found human poo ON a park bench letting us know the "promised" house, car and great job didn´t come along...
Yes, I´m a tad negative these days, sorry about that.

But, really, Scabies?!

It´s become a funny world.
The city offers a welcome for refugees - in German. Only.

Reflection

The ice is gone, but spring is still nowhere to be seen.
And I don´t wanna be seen, either.

Ex-teamleader let me know that colleagues bought me a pressie.

Seriously?!
Those who do know me do know that I don´t like to be a "POI".
That and...
I´m signed sick for a reason.
That and...

I lost my job not because there isn´t work to, no. I lost it cause they cannot "sell" me to VW anymore and think I´m too expensive working inhouse.
What a big, fat lie it is in the first place.
"6 months at VW and then you can work inhouse" became 16 years. Sixteen years I brought in that VW-money and this is their way to thank me.
Sixteen years I "risked my life" every work-day. All the time, money and fear. If I wanted to work in Wolfsburg I´d moved there.

Now I´m supposed to take "a pressie" and say thanks for having worked 17 years for them?

Those who do know me know I cannot lie.
And there isn´t much to be thankful for.

But! Those who eventually do care... I cannot ignore them, right?

He meant well "warning" me, but now...

Easter "With Brains"

Found these - agin no hint to the artist... - at Brain Klub (yes, with a "k", don´t ask me why).

Wishing you a Happy Easter!

Taking part again in Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals :-)

The Same

We ALWAYS got the same, Bro and I.
Two chocolate Easter bunnies, two Kinder... no matter I am much older ;-)

Maybe this was one reason:

My Dad made a "Baby-paper" - back in the 70´s men stayed home (and got drunk) whilst the woman delivered the baby.
Eventually, the to-be-Dad got creative.

And later "friends" came by and signed the paper.
These guys - and I was an accident that was not gotten rid of in Denmark like most of my kind...

These guys dared to write they wish me a golden childhood any my parents a "golden son" next year.

True!

Friends come and GO, right?
Never met them...

I was an accident and "just" a girl and our parents tried to treat us as same.
Yet!
I got to study, I got to travel. (Bro got the opportunitiy but... Route #66 is still waiting!) "Just" a girl.
"The Same" - they did try.
One took it, the other one didn´t. I should´ve ... I should have! Now it´s too late...

He didn´t even get a "book".

He didn´t make one, either, he was with his wife when she gave birth, btw.
Times are a changing and nothing stays the same ;-)
