Never Again, Kathy ;-)

 

Well... one more time I will use pizza sauce from MUTTI cause Ingo bought it on my stupid request, but do you know how EASY it is to make that yourself?!!!

Side note - I called my Mum "Mutti", my Bro said "Mami" - same in  your family (if you grew up with siblings)?

I never knew how easy it is, and how quick!

OK. These days we have to have an eye on what is "cheaper".

Ingo bought tomatoes that were more than over-ripe - he could not see it, hello, darn plastic-wrapping!

I cut them, put them in a blender with fresh basil, salt, pepper, quality olive oil - zoooom, done, no worries, a very quick task!

 

 

Never again will I (see title, sorry, Kathy, needed to start like this 😘) never again will  I buy pizza sauce!!! 

I know what is in in mine - no sugar, for example.

How on earth did it take me SO LONG to learn this - it´s so darn easy!!! Healthy!

Next step: the dough, of course - this was a bought one, blehhh, not good.

Cauliflower maybe?

Darn it. I´m hungry now ;-)

This is for Kathy´s food Wednesdays, looking forward to yours.

Tom´s Signs2 see here, if you want.

Hm, really, guys?

That´s no Lion-food!

Wanna Play?

This was in Perth - we were too early to visit, sadly.

Or too late?

 

This sign is about...

 

 At least I have this...

 

 

Now all we need is warm t-shirt-temps!

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

 Care for Pizza? Here :-)

 

 

 

T STands For... ChaoTic Times

Had a busy week again, so art wise I can only show you how and why...

 

Monday: nice chat with the baker-lady after a crazy work-day.

Then Bro called. Did I mention crazy? 

 

 

Tuesday: Out of the blue in a meeting had to put the cam on. Ohhh... meeting colleagues!

Fun! Glad I was dressed properly (working from home).

Went to buy some summer clothes. Just tiny bits.

Now I wait for summer!!!

 

 

Wednesday: Boy-oh-boy. 10 hours due to meetings.

As my T next day said: time-killer. He is right. For the most part - how about you?

Tomatoes are super-expensive, crazy. Made pizza. More on that tomorrow at Kathy´s...

 

 

Thursday: Started at 07:00 am for C with something that is actually not my job - but we help each other, right?

C (French)  gave me a "BRAVO", how sweet is that.

I could only help him thanks to all I learned at Siemens!!!

 

Next is also a C, also from France, both speak German, btw!

This one will replace Ukrainian E and ...  yayyyyy!!! I see a structure on the way!!!

"Thanks for everything - looking forward to work with you" I got after I not only gave him what the admin asked for but what I got as well.

We help each other, right?

 

N is signed sick but took care of me.

I need to see what I type but if that´s not possible...

For "geprüft" - proved -  in all the hectic I ended up - not seeing it - with this:

geptüfft. 

N laughed his head off, I joined and I leave it the way it is - we laughed again.

 

Need something geptüfft, ask me, I can do the job! 🤣 

 

 

Bro called. Asked how it´s going. Told him about the desaster with teamleader Frankfurt and he said, "hey, you had the same problem at Siemens!"

Me, referring to the movie "Groundhog Day" that it´s a déjà vu, if I should go see in the kitchen.

Darn it, Bro had to explain the joke to me - it was never food related for me as Phil sees the same every day (déjà vu - seen before).

N came up with the same and had no idea, either - loads of laughing, soooo good!

How many people did not see the food relation, those who speak French, boooy... years and years I thought this is funny, but I never got WHY!!!

Bro said he thought "déjà vu" is something to eat!!! Hahahaha, NOW I get it!!!

Think this was not geptüfft by my brain.

I did some sport with DE.

 

 Friday: Bro thought the word "evaluieren" is nonesense (I used it in applications and later read evaluate a felt million times), now we "eruieren", LOL.

And Proof-gereaded really topped it all. 

Names fly around in English, French and German pronunciation, boy, oh boy!

I am "theirs" - a good sign, I hope... Sport with DE.

 

 Go outside, eh - and... Street finds!!!

 

 

Yes, apples, I´m at it!

 

And this was not all!

Luck and... love, see:

What a week again.

Ingo had asparagus and made potatoes. I had this with the latter:

And since this is for Elizabeth´s T-Day...

Henry 🦁

Oh, boy. Hopefully the chaos is over soon!

Open Your Mouth Wiiiiide

 

 

I bought this baby spoon 1995 somewhere in Australia in a two-buck-shop. 

I even think it was somewhere in SA, where River is from and for whom this post is 😘

Read about the reason on her blog!

 

I knew my Brother will have kids some day and maybe I gave him the blue one - or it got lost on one of the moves I made, gosh, I lost some things in some apartments or on the road, so sad - can you relate? You pack it all up, move and then... gone.

 

Anyhows, this one "flies" empty in the kitchen windowsill, it´s not pink, also the German sun can cause some damage, see:

 

 Henry Junior 🦁:

 

 

Yes, two posts, as it´s Monday after all, mural Monday! Find a sexy lady there 💃

 

And, P.S., River!

I can never walk by Kalle without thinking he just stepped out of bed! 

That poor man will wonder what all the giggling is about! I blame it on you! 🤣

 

Beauty On The...

... loo. Yes, you find this beautiful lady on the loo in the Brass in Northbridge, Perth.

She´s not on the TV screen ;-) Sorry. in case of earworm-alert here goes:

 

 And yes, he is German.. or, rather Bavarian, Lou Bega, love this album.

 If this counts as mural then it is for Sami.

 

Henry 🦁 

 

 Let´s dance!

 

 

New One!

 

I have some flowers for you!

(Spot bunny  to the right, waiting for the window being ready after winter again!)

And if this is not enough...

I give you some math, logical thinking... They call me Kalle, I live just around the corner of  this place where this is written. 

Pass the little bridge (called after me, Gauß-bridge) and you find me, my name is Carl.

They even named a "mountain" after me.

"To Spring now! Hi Kalle, ole pal!"

Two posts again - alas!

YES, Papa!!! We Are WALL-E

Have the telly on whilst surfing and Blue Bloods (with Tom Selleck) is on. 

Teamleader Frankfurt (Ukrainian) "told" me in a MS teams-meeting what to do and I mumbled, "yes, Papa."

Him: "WHAT did she just say?!"

The others (all male): Giggles.

He skipped the mimimi but in this episode of Blue Bloods this just happened, too.

The female cop bursts out to the guy (... spoiler-alert she will him marry later,...)

"YES, PAPA!!!"

And on his look explains it means "boss".

For ONCE!!!! Once! ... a translation did fit (saw it in German).

 

It was too funny how irritated he was.

At Alstom other words fly around, LOL. 

Sadly I had to learn the others are right and this teamleader gives work to others, does not only not explain properly to me but to nobody.

We are like WALL-E - we clean up after him (this, btw is the German voice of Tom Selleck!)

 

I respect his work for Ukraine, but he did not do his job properly since two years and the female boss seems to be in love with him, I was told, very helpful. For him.

 

Another colleague (pointing out I´m his colleague, no matter that I am external!!) said it must be pheromones, and I was not near enough yet.

Said, "I sat in the car with him." (the old-old thing of being the only female in the team, alas).

"Huh?!" Yips - this does not "hit" me! 🤣

 

Twice now I went at him in meetings cause otherwise I loose my job. He´s not happy with that and more than ignores me now. Pfffft, do.

 

The new "colleague" is my new teamleader!! He is French, knows the job per se, is happy to learn from me - and the others of course!!! We all work together, I told him and he gave me a virtual hug.

I am positive he brings structure into the chaos and I think I made some good points that hopefully will make me keep the job.

 

 

(Now, isn´t that too cute?!)

I even was able to tell the admin how one thing works easier! I am the new one, remember! And new teamleader was in the meeting, too.

But! Certainly another colleague told me this!!!!

We work together, I said again :-)

The work is challenging to boring, but the team is so wonderful I want to stay there.

 

A last one, soooo cute:

 

And "Papa" will  be gone soon. No one will be sad.

How sad is that...

New month, new challenge, right?

The last ones clean up!!

Henry 🦁

We don´t need a Papa! We find our way!

(Really, it blows my mind how one can get away with this for 2 years like that! By just being attractive and charming. HOW?!!! Even men do his work! Why?!)
