Happy Towel Day

 
Thanks to CJ I roamed my DVD collection and found "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which I will watch later - haven´t watched in ages. And 25th is Happy Towel Day!
And yes. I have it as DVD so I can watch in English. 
That is Germany....
 
For Critters just scroll down... there will be a Henry, too. Off now to make "falafel-soup" as my mT suggested!
 
Addendum:
Some theories on to why 42 include:

    "What is 6 x 9?" or "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" This is hinted at in the third book of the series.

The ASCII code for the asterisk symbol (*) is 42, which could represent "everything" or "multiply."
So the question could be about the meaning/purpose of existence.
42 is the angle in degrees at which light refracts through a water surface to create a rainbow.
So the question could relate to the physics of light and rainbows.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, there were 42 judges who decided the fate of souls in the afterlife.
The question could relate to judgment, morality or the afterlife.
The expansion rate of the universe was initially measured at 42 miles per second per megaparsec.
So the question could be about the expansion rate or origin of the universe. 

Thanks to perplexity, a colleague pointed me at.
 


 

Here, Fishy...

 
Well, in one of ours you find life ones!
 

 

And these:






This is for....


Eileen, of course!

 To an animalistic Saturday!

FFO, Smiles And Kindness

 
Maybe I should have spinach again soon!
This is for Nicole´s FFO, of course!
 
And this I found at FB and it made me smile, with which I join Annie´s Smiles:
 

Another sweet story I found at FB:

"I witnessed this sanitation employee return a trash can to the side door of an elderly lady's home this morning. After speaking with her, I learned her mobility is limited and this man does this for her every week. It may seem so insignificant to you or me, but to her it's greatly appreciated! Small acts of kindness, such as this, will not change the world, but it changes her world. I didn't get your name sir, but you are awesome!" ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I had some smiles this week as in meeting my former teamleader in person and the customer telling me likely the project goes on, plus nice chats with Admin mT and also fK, whom I´ll meet for lunch again.
Weather OK for May, too cold for my liking.
 
This also made me smile:
 
 
 
 And this:
 
 
My friend fK gave me these...
Rock crystal is for healing, amethyst for inspiration and rose quartz for courage and comfort.
Let´s see! Also the stones look pretty in the water. 

And for Gillena´s Lunch Break... well, it was early morno:

 
How about some funnies for the weekend?



 

 
... could be Ingo...


 
 I leave you with some yum:


And, of course...


Off soon to lunch with fK.

Henry 🦁
 

 Hope you had a good one!

I´m A Hero!

 
In Perth I was SO STRONG!!! I did not buy this.
Nor this:
 


 
 See... 1999 I drove Ingo NUTS but I got this:


I got them all - like watching TOS!!!! 
Imagine... we sat in the Outback of Australia and read James Blish´s books on Star Trek Original Series! We roamed every second hand book store for this!


Book stores are so dangerous!





Leave you with this wonderful pic.
How about you - dangerous stores for you, too?
Come on, I was a hero, I did not buy ONE book!!!

Can you remember, too, how difficult it was before Amazon to get such books?
Living in a small German town... you were a weirdo if you wanted a book "in the original"!
It was brand new and expensive.
My Nieces could these days, used books, too, or kindle, whatever. And they are not interested. Sad.

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

 Have you managed to leave a book store without buying a book?
 
Addendum, for River and her tea-set:
This is why I don´t understand what it is all about - this is what I got as tea-set:
 

 

I still have no clue why there are to separate containers. They are really just containers!
I think it stays being deco only...

Sign Of A Great Company

 

 My workday yesterday started with this "sign".

 I have no kids, but if I would... (a "tad" late now) my company supports big!

You can work where you want to. Or when. Care for your kid(s) is supported.
This I might take: 10 plus days off per year, would .. will make 40 days off per year! (I mean.. they let me take off 6 weeks in a row for visiting Perth anyway!).
More suggestions... just put them down here and they´ll take care!

Obviously they even provide clothes for your wee one ;-)

 


Looking for a great company? Join ESE!

I am forever thankful the student at SIEMENS suggested I apply here!

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2, of course.

More or the rest of our journey of 30 years together?

 

He has the bluest eyes and is such a gentleman! We really need to ask him out again!
I mean, we did... (his wife has passed and his kids don´t take care much).
Here...


T-Shirt: CRABS (Craft Beer BraunSchweig, where we went with W).


Ingo, huh? Ya know...


Still after so many years! A "sign" of love!


... and I am wearing the very same skirt just yet again!!!
I assure you, I have more clothes than this one skirt!
Even Grace said, "I see you in this one more time, we go shopping!!!"
Luckily she forgot - I love this one. Do you have some clothes you wear over and over again, too?


They´re just talking, no idea why W leans forward... maybe they exchanged a secret?


Actually it was summer... Ingo proudly presents his Freo-T-Shirt... Pic taken by their Daughter.


I get flowers now and then 🥰
They travel from private to work-PC as long  as they last.


On the way from Adelaide to Perth!


Let´s call that a good sign of life, shall we?
For the other parts you can hop here, here and here.

Henry 🦁
 
To great people!
 
A sign of humanity.... animality, whatever, life!
