WANT A Rainy Cabin - And GOT rain!

 

What we got in Madeley/Perth this year: 

 

 

At night - wait for the sleepy-head!: 

 

 

Then... the birds and I sure jumped! 

 

 

And here, awwww.... 

 

 

Please note: This was Summer! Rain in summer is a huge pressie!

SMILE

 

Let me take you back to Perth this year.

 

 

 

OK, let me take you back pre-Covid, 2019... There we did make it to Rotto:

 

 

Big Niece said it´s a big rat. Hm, well, rats are cute, too and Rottnest Island indeed refers to rats.

 

 They sure are sweet, always seem to smile and even so sweet there are signs all over!

 

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

T This Last Promising Week

 

With this happy drink I join Elizabeth´s T for week 16. 

The journal - which reflects the past week - I say this because some of you thought last T-Day I was sick but that´d been the week before that - on the pages you see the date of the actual day - I took the idea from a fellow blogger we sadly lost years ago:

 

Monday: Went out this morning - late, 9 a.m.-ish - and it was so cold my ears nearly fell off and I could see my breath.

The postie was here 12:15, yippee as in 12:35 I wanted to leave for my 01:00 p.m-appointment, the darn mammography. 

The lady was supernice, told me all the time, "you´re doing great". And where my second name is from? I said, "my Dad expected my hair´ll turn reddish. Also he was an optometrist (Iris)". Yupp, my Mom hadn´t much to say here...

And, typical German: 01:07 I was back in the street! 

Bro called. Two of their pets lost their lives.... I spare you details... Fun names of the living, one is called Dr. Gonzo.

 

Tuesday: At REWE, "checkout"-Bea: "I cannot even speak German here!!!" 

Your opinion on this I´d like to know: Should people who stay here longer, or forever, should be forced to speak German?

fK came over for my apple-cake and re-planted my Christmas-amaryllis. She even managed to keep wax-Santa. 

 

Thursday she plans to speak with fE personally.

Having "grown up" in a men´s world it´s a bit odd to have female leaders now. But fK may become one of mine, too. 

 

 

Wednesday: Went to Rewe and had a nice chat with Bea. Gave my best to portrait Dad for Nicole´s challenge on FFO.... Huhhh. Challenge is the word!

So fun to see "Harry" in "Death in Paradise". 

 

Thursday: fK worked in the office today. Just before she wanted to meet fE (future boss) on my behalf mK popped by  - huge coincidence, I´ve worked for him before. When he heard I want to come back he was happy and said he´s just about to get a new project and he wants: me!!!

There is still another project to come for me. Please, I want to work for mK!!!

fK then had her yearly appointment - spontaneous -  with mM with whom I talked about batteries in trains, he knows I was in the Fortescue-team, he explained the heating in the office to me and also helped with the agency for work - I asked fK to say hi to him.

 

What a day!! Nothing settled yet and maybe it will take till June, but so what?! Or rather: Yippee!!! fK told fE I didn´t make contact cause I didn´t want to go on her nerves and she was very happy about that, too! Oh, wish me luck!

 

My calendar-page:

 

"Don't demand that things go as you wish, but wish them to go as they will, and your life will flow smoothly." Epictetus 

 

Friday: A slow day. Sometimes you just have an ear for others.

 

Weekend: Saturday: 1709 steps I took when taking the gear off. A mini-yippee. Hardware-stores and stuff. Being a woman and having the article by number helps. I felt bad for the man who was actually in front "row"..

Sunday: Rainy, lazy day. Löwenzahn, Maus, Fairy tale....

Munchy .. of course...

 

This is my first baked cake! 

Maybe the last, too, my sweet tooth went into hibernation again!

Though, plan: 28th eat up the rest! Me a bit, fK the rest... Ingo sadly has no interest, but that´s OK.

 Happy T-Day!

 

  

Come In For A Swim? #1 And Mandurah

 

 

For a change I take you to Hillarys Boat Harbour, north of Madeley/Perth.

I assume the artist is Peter Ryan. 

Here some details of the first!

 

 

 

Well, eyes... or faces are missing, your start-thought for the new week? 

We need to give people a real face? 

I am sorry if I showed you before, but what is not to love?

 

This for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!

Come To Our Kitchen

 

When I lost my first job of 18 years I needed something to do and... made these... To singing in the rain! (Note the shadows) - I also need glasses, so a brolly is a good idea, mostly... I do not mind walking in rain without.

Ingo helped and made this mobile.

 

As we live in small places Ingo came up with the idea to put art up on the ceiling:

 

 

Well, it´s a bull and it took her 20 minutes - like in our first apartment her Daddy 20 minutes to spot it. Small as our kitchen is...

 

 This of course is for...

 

 Nicole´s SITAR.

Share your kitchen, too?

Happy Sunday.
