Keep In Mind What This Once Was

 If you´d like to see the mural in the background close up, hop back to Monday here.

I´ll show you the interesting inside some other time.

This certainly is for Tom´s Signs2.

 

Henry's 🦁  alter Perth-ego,the Black Swan 🐣:

 

 Dear swan, no, it is cold. 14C/57F... in June...

T STands For Not Boring

With this drink I join Elizabeth´s T. It woke me up for sure, no idea about the taste, though, sadly...

The journal, if you care:

Monday: Project goes on for a little while, yippee.

Sadly no news of the other...

We have the best pharmacy. The staff is not allowed to give tips who is a good doc.

I said, "I know, but can you 'secretly', please?" - and she did. 

Sadly she had to add... they maybe don´t take new patients. Wish me luck, it is also just around the corner!!!

It´s nothing too urgent and she gave me two docs. 

Same in your place - hard to get medicare?

 

Tuesday: Again rather 200% work, but no plus-hours allowed. Which is good. 

When you compare two documents and only on page 5 realize it´s both English... time for a break! I was checking on format, but certainly I need the German document for the check of the English.

Customer tried to explain which data he still needs... as if he spoke Chinese... had to ask teamleader mK. He understood fast, I said, "how do you do that?!". Him: "I do this since 12 years.... and we all know life is big shit!"...

 

Wednesday: The seminar part I was a little weird and certainly there were two "teacher, I know it all..."-guys.

And I wondered soooo big in the lunch break. ESE ordered breadrolls from the butcher. With all kinds of stuff, all ready to go, also cheese, eggs, even some vegan stuff (from a butcher!). Nicely decorated with radish cut like a flower, mini-tomatoes on a stick... 

I had half a breadroll with cheese and a radish. ALL others took half after half after ... how can one eat so much! Either out of boredom or cause it looked so yummy? I was full.

 

One female colleague came up to me after seeing my sweater hanging over the chair.

Also a long-time Braunschweig Lions fan! "Ohh, even with the old logo!"

 

Left earlier cause I had an appointment (and didn´t really miss anything).

See. I found a Pusteblume - dandelion - weeks ago, picked it, blew all seeds around and made a Wish: "new project, please!!!" 

Three days later my wish was granted!

Sorry Mom is a great studio, so it took a while till I had my date. 

 

 

Due to a misunderstanding I ended up with the boss himself.

LOL, he asked in which sport-studio I do training. Not if!

And didn´t he do a great job, too?

Thursday: I have no token for our ESE-building as I 99% work from home, so I have to ring the bell. In, looking for the second, concentrating on which is which when the door flew open and fB grinned Big, GOOD MORNING!" - me, near a heart attack. 

We stand in the room, suddenly a VERY near, soft voice, "good morning, Iris" - sure as hell I jumped.

OK, I asked fK to announce herself by voice, not by touch, but heck, not from behind!

Awake like hell!

See, and that´s why I don´t wanna drive a car... Was a tough seminar, met later fL and fJ and also fC, my teamlead, who STILL thinks I´m alone.

fK: "She has and knows more colleagues than myself." LOL

I.Am.Not.Lonely!! I LOVE working from home!

Beautiful rain, see here.

 

 Friday: Tough work day, 9 hours. Technical difficulties, mT and fK tried to help, nice chat and help from mK (teamlead for Mothership-project). I shared my monitor and signed in. He said, "oh, I like your 'ikai' for logging in!" - his name is the last three letters. 

He said, with work more work comes and if I don´t make it in time, so, what... hm. Not so sure... the customer wants me to hand everything over end of this week!

Other  too knackered for training, GRIMM it was again.

Thanks to Ingo... who saved my PC... and lost his! There is a bug going around here.

Weekend: Saturday: Garbage in hand, W, right in front our door, with luggage. No holiday - he came back from hospital! (all good). MM came in and took W´s luggage upstairs (W is 84 years old) - we DO have nice, caring neighbors! We chatted some more and he could make it to 4th floor easily. 

Buskers... hm, well. fK said she won´t go. I managed to drag Ingo along.

We could´ve stayed home. but then.. see munchy-wise!

Sunday: Was a bad day. Too much work pays at some point. Even missed Löwenzahn and Die Maus.

Munchy-wise:

I chose Haiti. Hmmmm, SO YUM. And with real cutlery - they must know Braunschweig-people are honest!!!! I brought half of the food back and they happily wrapped it up for me  for dinner 🥰

Henry 🦁 (everything you see in orange is a link, btw):

 

 Maybe a tad slower this week (hahaha, Henry...)

Just Because I Feel Supernatural!

#watching GRIMM, though... Supernatural maybe soon, too - who can live without "Dean"?!

Cheers

 

Don´t worry, this is not about railway, we followed the track on the safe way on foot.

Though it is interesting how Australia manages with different track width just like that! Easy!!!

We went on foot ... to find this:

 

 Our host told us about this brewery and so we of course went.

 

 

... nice you cannot speed in Australia. Here in Germany... that helmet alone would freak me out.

This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

  12C here, wish I was in Freo...

Some Pluviophile´s Days

 

The other day I was in the city and it started to rain - despite I had a brolly with me!

Isn´t the light on this house so beautiful?

"The house at Kohlmarkt 1 was mentioned as early as 1268 as a stone house and the surviving inventory shows a Renaissance gable from around 1590." (source)

On the way back home I found...

See here for someone in the hood sees actions like this.

This "trasher" took care the book stays dry. 

I hope that coward neighbor moves away soon.

Or I have to give all I want to give away for free to fK and she puts it in her street more far away - the people appreciate this - but then I let the coward here win, huh?

If I´d taken fK´s offer to pick me up "because it´s raining" I would´ve missed this.

I think by now she got it that I´m a pluviophile - when my seminar and her workday were done it was raining - she looked me in the eye ... and knew... I´ll enjoy to walk!

"A rain lover, also known as a pluviophile, is someone who finds joy, peace, and comfort in rainy days." (source)

 

Still on the way to ESE, it had stopped raining...

What.Is.This.Good.For???

More rain expected - aren´t these so beautiful. Little drops on tiny flowers...

How about you, yay or nay to rainy days?

Henry 🦁:

 

 

Yes, Henry... let´s find the beauty in sun AND rain.

 

Beyond The Koninderi - Hello June

 

Can you believe  it´s June already - and with these temps I really fail to believe it, brrrr, cold!

Let me share another story from the Aborigines of Australia....

 

More I brought from Madeley, Perth and Freo...

 

We were there in 1995... I hardly remember. though - need to go again ;-)

 

... the stars come out.

 

To Perth firefighters!

And... since I join ...

 

 

Eileen...

For those of us in the Northern hemisphere... hopefully to warmer weather soon!

 

Henry 🦁

 

 

And now, time, stop running!!!! It´s the wonderful half of the year!

 

Addendum, Ingo: "The firefighter calendar is in the living room now?!"

Me: "Yes, hence I see it better." Ingo, "I always saw it in the hall".

The hall is dark and I just need to turn right in my Star Trek 70´s chair to see it - and the calendar sits there since we returned home in March!
