Isn´t this too cute?! Here is the whole story of the rescued Penguin that wears a backpack and walks alone to the Fish Market every day.
And yes, I joined T-Day, too.

T STands For Toilet
Henry 🦁 can´t get enough... of this smell... the other..
Ingo presented me with Faber Castell crayons (the smell, ohhhh... sandle-wood!) and... bare with me, I never learned how to draw and I don´t have the patience for youtube-videos or... sorry, Kate, I´m stuck a bit... books.
But I tried!
We visited many a dunny, or loo, as Aussies call an outdoor toilet (or left or right in the middle of nowhere, just remember, LOL. And collect the loo-tickets, don´t burn them!! You might start a bush-fire! I nearly did, I never ran that fast after burning toilet-paper!!!)
Sorry about the "kindy-incident"... I really assumed everybody says that...
Got this in Perth and... in my defense... I was trying to capture the loo when Ingo came in, took it away to admire it.
Yah, great idea. Not.
Angle all wrong now.
As maybe you know I "grew up" with 60-90 second-sketches... this took like forever (for an impatient person). At least half an hour for one loo-pic!
Ingo suggested I add some blowies.
No, this is NOT X-rated 🤣.
The Aussies (Australians) call their flies blowies.
See an Aussie blow air or wave... those flies. They go at your face. There are lip-blowies, nose-, ear- and eye-blowies. They keep attacking, want your fluid in this dry land. They are tiny.
Aussies seem so friendly due to all the waving (kidding, they ARE friendly!).
The blowie on top... Ingo said it looks like a flying pig. I never managed to get this away...
My week.... "so exciting"....
Monday topped it off. I am not much able to order Ingo´s bread, because they know when I call and what I want, this time it wasn´t even labelled!!
Tuesday I sent out another Application, quit an e-mail-provider and sent the 5th mail to the caretaker of my tenant cause the service charge settlement-"bill" is a mystery.
Wednesday, when she wanted to call me in the morning... nothing all day, 6th mail, no response.
Thursday the laundry was dry, yippee, I searched for my outdoor-cellphone loading cable, no success, but I cleaned up.
Ingo, meanwhile, modified a cable and (yes he can do that) ... hello Murphy, I found the original. Now we have a spare.
Waited again for the darn half cousin (caretaker). The phone finally rang.
NOISE. An Indian guy telling me to turn my PC on. I said, "you have the wrong number, my PC is OK" - "MADAM! Turn on your PC!!!" (In Indian-German)
Second time the phone rang it was a woman asking me the same, getting the same answer, third time I kinda then YELLED in English that THIS.IS.THE.WRONG.NUMBER!!!!
I worked in third level EHD (also), so I know phone calls are written down. How come they kept calling?! I wait for an important call after all! (And my PC is OK!)
What a day.
Friday just sport and reading.
Sat....
After...
Ingo was hungry early and then went down for a nap on his sofa.
When I finally was hungry, the potatoes were gone!! I looked everywhere!!!
Finally had to wake him.
Guess. To keep them warm he put them in the bed under the cover.
Living with a man 8 years older.
How was I supposed to know?! (Good idea, though. Not even my Grandma did this!)
Sunday sleep in, a lazy day with kid´s programs, it was a great Sunday.
As this is for Elizabeth´s "T Stands For Tuesday"...
Henry you saw in first pic. He´s disappointed I took the Faber away.

Mourning
In our place, too, I´m like my Mum, made two pieces...
We asked a stranger to take this pic.
Mum in a wheelchair, beaten by cancer, our last holiday together.
She passed 31st on December that year (2011).
She would turn 80 today...
I feel so small.
Had to call her youngest brother back then (Bro and I took turn on the last siblings) - it was...
HIS BIRTHDAY.
I had no idea.
He cheerfully said, "thank you for remembering my birthday!".
(he took off from family 10 years ago)
What to answer.
Henry 🦁
Two posts on one day and blogger changed it all again... no idea if it works.
Freddie´s "Z" & Zealous
Makes no sense, this pic for Freddie´s letter "Z"?
I had to come up with something starting with "z", right
We zealously traveled.
This pic is from 1995 and I wanted a helicopter and will never again climb and cross this:
In my defense, my arm was just starting to heal and climbing is not a good idea, I was totally worn out reaching the top... down is even worse and then through that whole thing, I was in tears from pain and being exhausted.
But I managed without a heli. Ingo cooked and I fell asleep with empty stomach, not again.
I would never dare to compare myself with Freddie Mercury, but I think in many ways we, especially Ingo, are eager, keen, desirous, enthusiastic, duteous, excited - all words for zealous (and please keep in mind I´m no native tongue...).
I mean at age 8 Freddie made it on his own from Zanzibar to Mumbai to his new school!!!
That I not only call brave, but also duteous!
Freddie (from the book Freddie Mercury A to Z):
Sketch from his boarding school in India.
I gave my AKUBRA - which you can see as a crown - to my Mum and who knows where that is, reckon my Brother has no idea what an AKUBRA is...
But I know my Mum loved that very special hat.
Can you believe my parents let me take off with an 8 years older man at age 23 after being together only some months to a journey like this?!
I´m sad the alphabet has no more letters.
It was fun to zealously try to come up with something related from our life and there were many a memories.
I hope you enjoyed the little series.
Henry 🦁
And he says, we´ll never stop listening to his music (and have a new book on Queen already).
Or forget our Mum´s Birthday, I nearly did. She would´ve turned 80 today.

Freddie´s "Y" & You And Me
Just bought this 2€-game, connect4 - First time Ingo won - because I didn´t know/remember diagonal is an option.
HAHA, second time I won 😁
Ingo is the better engineer, so I was like really a bit proud.
Reckon you have a guess for the letter "Y".
Freddie (from the book Freddie Mercury A to Z):

We go through it all together.
Off with "A Day At The Races" on my BOSE to do kitchen-work :-)

Freddie´s "X" & EXactly What?
Can you guess for what Freddie´s letter "X" stands?
In pic above are two hints.
(The sign actually says "Tauben füttern verboten" - "feeding pigeons forbitten", but someone put dots over the "ü", hence it´s an "u" that makes it "futtern", another word for "eating", or "snacking".)
Here is another:
Freddie (from the book Freddie Mercury A to Z):
"Not eating pigeons" was the only x-rated thing I came up with.
I am so boring....
Well, maybe this counts, too, my 80+-year old tenant on the phone said, she loves the place and most neighbors are nice.
"Except that old guy (!!!) who feeds the shi.... pigeons!!"
She managed last sec to not say shit, 🤣
That´s x-rated, right?

Henry just sits on the front of the bike, and he is not naked.
