Let´s Dream Away...

 

This is how I found my sleep-fella.

June. JUNE!!! And I feel so cold I still need my microvave-buddy.

But... let´s dream away.. this is the truth, too:

Ohhh, poppies, my very favs!

Well, there is one, the temps. See....

Long clothes on still! (and a stupid face, sorry!)

"PER" stands for "PERTH", certainly.

My Mum´s strawberries?

Here is the first batch, THANK YOU BEES!

1974 we went to the woods, I was two years old, and, Mum.... they moved to Braunschweig and do great!!!

I´m not into sweets, but this sweet I love!

Henry 🦁

Yep. From the woods.

Give it a go!

Keep On Running

 

Four teamleaders and Ingo told me I´m no woman.
This song is fitting for being "together" for 28 years, I think.
Run and hide.
Will we.. one of us understand?

Just laugh at me.

Henry 🦁

You have a reason... It´s a fine, sunny day.

Up And Down

 

 

Had my walnut,  and now...?

Wait, who´s that?

 

 Now, isn´t that too cute and adorable? See a close up, amazing how quick and safe they do this! They also walk up on our walls!

 

 Young Henry 🦁

 

 To the warm(er) half of the year!

 

 

Happy Birthday To....

 

 

So Ingo came home yesterday with the words, "you´ve got mail!".

I hate that. Usually it´s the tax office or other unpleasant stuff.

 

Not yesterday!

It was a letter  from dear Kathy!

And what did I find when I opened the beautiful envelope?

 

 ... envelope!

And what was in there?

 

This very cute kitty! 

 

 

 

.. the Birthday-girl!

AKA... me! (Oh, I wish, Ingo hates cats).

Now you please don´t give me Birthday-wishes, see when Kathy made this beautiful card?

 
 

... made in 2021. Cause Kathy assumed rightfully snail mail has this name for a reason and my Birthday is in January.

Though Kathy did not calculate the darn precise posties here.

The address was not 100% correct, thinking is nothing they do at the post office here - they sent it back!

Can you believe it.

Switch on your brain, if you have one, and go look if there is somebody under this address without the first, American-sounding line.

Not that difficult these days, huh? Noooo, German post-men do not do this.

It reads:

ZURÜCK
RETURN TO SENDER
NOT DELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED
UNABLE TO FORWARD

Sad. Sad and sad. I feel embarrassed by the dumbness of German "manners".

Kathy was so kind to give it another try and maybe I make this an excuse to celebrate on June 2nd now, too 😘

Sadly the tea-bag is in use multiple times these days still as it´s way too cold for June!

Irony at it´s best!

Thank you, Kathy, you made my late "arvo" 🥰 (see next T-Day for that, if you don´t have a clue). 

Young Henry 🦁

Henry, ask Kathy!

"Hey, I said PIZZA! This is a sweet cake!"

Need Some Luck?

You call them dandelion, we call them "tooth (or teeth) of a Lion"  or, and when they are done, ...

"Pusteblume", why?

 

 

 ... take a very deep breath, blow and....after all seeds flew off make a wish  - one chance only, no second blowing ("pusten")!

This time of the year offers....

And many came true, especially with job and team!

I can also take one everywhere I go, anytime, look:

... to wear around the neck - cool idea, huh?

If this works or not does not matter, this is cool stuff, don´t you think?

Looking forward to Sunday, we always look the kid´s series before "Die Maus" starts, "Löwenzahn", also a learn-program for children I grew up with.

 

 

Sadly Peter Lustig (Peter Funny - it was his real name even!) - you see him here in front of his Construction trailer he "lived in" -  passed away 2016 - he always wore the one blue  overall.

 

He gave over his job...

 

 Sad when your childhood characters go away, huh - do you have some, too, that accompanied you for so long?

 

Christoph from Die Maus wears a green sweatshirt since the 1970´s - always!

 

 

 

 

Armin Maiwald (right), one of the founders, is still at it, "Maiwald's voice is widely recognized even when he merely orders a cup of coffee or a beer." (wiki).

To the olden days - well, have a wish - you know what to do :-)

Henry 🦁

 

Good boy, reckon we all join your wish deeply by heart...

 

Let´s Have A Party!

 

 

Your name is much better for this dish - we call it Senfeier, mustard eggs, how boring sounds this!

Anyhows, since we have these super-mega-yummy potatoes I suggested this yum for the weekend.

 

You will need for two (we ate twice from this, as usual):

• 4 hard boiled eggs (not too hard) 
• 1/2 onion (use the other half for fried potatoes some other time, for example)
• 1/2 tb flour
• 1/2 tb butter
• 150 ml broth
• 70 ml milk
• 1 tb mustard (make sure you have enough!!! Add as much as you like)
• salt
• pepper
• Worcestersauce

• potatoes

 

You have to make roux for this: 

Butter in the pan - don´t let it go brown, add the cut onion, and the flour.

Take off the heat, add broth, mix. When creamy, put it back on heat, ,on low temp, add milk and bring it then to the boil.

Take care to not burn it.

Add salt, pepper and Worcestersauce, then mustard, if you are out, just pop over we can share - Ingo bought 1000 ml!!!!!

 

 

The mustard is from East Germany and really yummy.

No more cooking now, just keep it warm and add the eggs.

 

Potatoes go well with this.  

 

Very, very yummy!

 

Henry 🦁 

 

 Oh, come on, big boy, you don´t need meat every day!

 

Look what the Elefant has in stock for June (calendar from Die Maus)!

 

This is for Kathy´s Food Wednesdays.

For Tom´s Signs 2, pop in here if you like, some other food to find...

 

 

It Is, It Is...

 

Well, when we come back to beautiful Perth we sure will find soooooo much new architecture and who-knows-whats!

This sign never gets old, Perth grows so quickly!

 

I bet this is still there:

 

 

This is Carillion City - you also find free public toilets there (try this in Braunschweig, hahahaha.... not).

 

Henry 🦁 

 

No, Henry. You need a plane.

 

A sign of summer, btw (if waaaaay too cold again):

Free calendar from our pharmacy, Braunschweig-related:

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

Not into fast food? Join the party for Kathy´s here.
